It doesn't matter how many assets a man, has if he already lost his reputation.  

It is difficult to earn a reputation in any community. A man is rich if he has a good reputation.   

Money can be earned quicker than reputation, that's why. Don't lose your reputation by being Heartless, unappealable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, or lovers of pleasure.

A hard-core believer in healthy traditional, healthy rituals and the Supreme power of God is a well-reputed man. 

Under any circumstance, a well-reputed speaks good words. 

Even the community wants to consult with a reputed man only.  

A well-reputed man never depends on anyone, but always grows with confidence and seek helps from his God. 

So,  how a man can earn a reputation? 

By being, 

physically healthy – eat ritual identified holy food and burn the junk to sweat out. 

Mentally prepared – pray and meditate daily,  self-realization, and maintain integrity.   

Spiritually strong – be part of churches or any community that builds for a good purpose. Endure the good character. 

Family reputation – keeping children submissive and managing households well financially.  

Never give up – forget the negative story and continue to forgive the gentleman's mistakes. 

Now, listen to these verses and meditate on them to gain a reputation.
