Proverb 22: 1, Good name is preferred over great riches v.04

I specifically searched for other comparisons about this verse in other parts of the bible. It is what it is, good name is good name, being esteemed is being perceived as nice, preferable. There was something important not to overlook though, that it is Truthful, because it is not just about good name in the eyes of men, but also in the eyes of God. 

So when it comes to God, what can you do on reputation management? He sees everything, just be really good. But when it comes to man I'll give an illustration:

Lets say that there is a community that hates long hairs. You like to wear hats, and you always tucked in your long hair. Everyday you deal with this community to trade and stuff, they didn't know that you have long hair. One day its hot and you took off the hat, then everybody felt betrayed by you and refused to do business with you, even tried to destroy your assets. 

In my opinion there's nothing wrong about wearing a hat, its their fault to assume short hair out of you. But its also like building house on sand rather than on rocks. (To each their own but, each situation is different, temporal things could be translated to long term for a cost or even not). 

-----------------------------

Good names in my opinion is about the sustainability of a business or the legitimacy of a property, maybe more for other people I won't go too far. Its like political stability and not always have to live in a fight or flight mode. Truthful, Objective, Holistic reputation is something other than Subjective reputation, there is such a thing.

So here is my suggestion to that guy, find other people with long hairs but hidden, or even other things that they hate... and reveal them simultaneously. Measure their attention span relative to our numbers, you'd want to evenly distribute the rage so that the least among us could afford at their replenishable parts of their assets. If the least is too small then he/she should be put in a different batch.
