Your reputation precedes you.

We live in a world that remembers. Today's world is alive. It doesn't forget. People might, but with the recent explosion of technology, people don't forget. The Internet has made it impossible for people to forget. One wrong act of indiscretion, one wrong video uploaded to YouTube, one wrong picture posted to facebook and the world around you still remembers years after you've forgotten.

If you don't tell your story  in the right way, others will. If you don't decide what others will say about you and feed them with that information, they will invent a story for you. They don't hate you. They just need to gossip and when people are gossiping, speculations become rumors. And rumors become unconfirmed stories and eventually, unconfirmed stories when repeated long enough assume some form of truth. Unconfirmed stories assume a life of their own and finally are accepted by everyone as true.

Jack welch says,' if you don't take charge of your destiny, someone else will'.

 Well, I say," If you don't take charge of your story, someone will. Someone will tell your story for you. And that person may not be that objective or that kind". You are an expert on your life. You've been around to witness most of the events that happened in your life.


Your personal story matters. Tell it in a way that brings you honour, influence and respect.
