You don't owe anyone good reputation but you owe yourself that much

Talking to a friend of mine today about the need for credibility, he highlighted these things to me,👇
One of the fastest ways to be useless in life is to keep disappointing people who put faith in you. - you can't do that more than 3 times.

The first will be taken as a mistake, you might get another chance.
The second will be taken as coincidence, you might get another.
The third will be taken as a deliberate act.
Sadly, not everyone will give you 3 chances.

Good reputation matters allot. Cheers
