You are what people make of you

For a very long time, and should I say till the time I was immature enough to believe that - I believed that it is only important for you to know that you are good, and be convinced about that. For a very long time, I believed that being a good human being, a good person, a good friend is the most important thing.

And then I realized that it is equally important that others feel that way about you! You may think very highly of yourself, you may tell yourself that you are good, but if others around you do not think that way - you are not. Period. Whether they are right or wrong, whether they misunderstand or misinterpret. Nothing much matters, except this - In a world, where you are not alone, you are what people around you make of you.

In corporate world, "Perception is Reality". But one cant change perception of all in one shot. It takes time to build the credibility and someone to realize that this person "Walks the talk".
But its best policy to be true to oneself and not care much about what others say. Scott Adams so correctly said, "Out of 100 things that you do , 95 things are such that you do not have much control over it".
