“If you don’t want people to say bad things about you, don’t do bad things!”

It applies to all of us too, doesn’t it? As individuals, or corporates… we are subject to perceptions of people, and the damage this bad talk can cause, depends upon the credibility and perceived agenda of those doing the “bad talk”.

Naturally, individuals who speak on behalf of say ‘the common man’ and ‘all of us’ have more credibility than ‘bad talk’ coming from ‘corporate leaders’ and so called ‘company spokepersons’ because they’re usually seen as people with agendas!

Either way – the point comes back to “If you don’t want people to speak badly about you, don’t do bad things!”

So if you’ve done anything ‘bad’ today, just think about the targets/witnesses of your actions… and then imagine how it can backfire on you! Because it usually does.

“Amateurs work hard and practice so that they can get it right. But professionals work hard and practice so they cannot get it wrong!”
