a good name...

I was assigned interns every year. Some were as young as 15 years old, most were from the polytechnics or the universities, some were graduates who were looking for a way into the industry.
I treated all of them the same and gave them the same advice:

First impressions count.
It pays to be punctual.
Always inform of your whereabouts.
Reputation is important.

In this industry, reputation can make or break you. Some people are legends in the industry for their punctuality and kindness. Others are infamous for all the wrong reasons. Reputations stick and are hard to shake. If you have a good rep, it would be for life. If you had a bad rep....you would need a miracle....

God's word is true.

"A good name is more desirable than great riches: to be esteemed is better than silver or gold." Proverbs 22:1 NIV
