[Nairalanders 48 Days of Power] Day 5 - "So much depends on reputation - guard it with your life."
Law #5
"So much depends on reputation - guard it with your life".
Reputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once it slips, however, you are vulnerable, and will be attacked on all sides. Make your reputation unassailable. Always be alert to potential attacks and thwart them before they happen. Meanwhile, learn to destroy your enemies by opening holes in their own reputations. Then stand aside and let public opinion hang them.
.
.
Let's hear your criticism,chipins, transgressions, observances, and reversals.

dont pass without sharing ur opinions,new model and observations

This is true analysing two personalties in our present socio-political experience. Atiku and Buhari. While Buhari's reputation catapulted him into Aso Rock, there was little or no dent on his reputation before ascending the seat of presidency, but now his reputation has gotten lots of holes based on high level corruption in his government. If this holes had existed in his reputation before now, he wouldn't have won the election to start with. So I totally agree with that.

Atiku on the other hand, his only stumbling block to winning the presidency is his reputation and he's doing little or nothing to redeem it. The moment Obasanjo put seriously wide holes in his reputation, he lost it all, and to make matter worst, he started jumping from one party to the other which made people ask serious question of reputation; is it compulsory he must rule this country, why is he so desperate.

Reputation is everything anyways,be it positive or a negative one.your level of success and power depends totally on what your known to do or able to do...it inspires a lot of attention and loyalty if properly applied/achieved
