RB - Reputation Bankrupt

I want to talk about this topic simply because of its importance for oneself to be successful and respected in any organisation or his/her career.

Reputation is one of the aspects that widely discuss in the Confucian studies that best known in Mandarin language as "Xin"(信)or Trust

If you do not have the "xin" of the people around you, it is as good as you are RB. Whatever you talk are nonsense, meaningless and people agree with you simply because people scared of you and your power.

Every day they curse and swear behind you. They imagine bad things will happened to you. You have more enemies and friends. They will try their best to discredit you or if you have did a good deed, they will try to forget you.

A very typical example of RB is always make " empty promise ". It is very important that you deliver your promise when you promise it.

Just imagine when an insurance company failed to pay or make compensation to the insured upon happening of an agreed event. The insurance company will soon go bankrupt as most of the other insured will sooner withdraw their policies upon knowing the news simply because they lost faith on the insurance company.

Hence before you make any promise, always think of the way to deliver first. Otherwise, you will very soon become RB

To be continue..
