This week’s edition of MATTER THAT MATTERS is not to remind you that you are a product, although that’s true of you, the matter that matters today is ‘Your Perceived Value’. It is not personality-healthy to say you don’t care what people feel about you, because people will evaluate, admire, respond and relate with you based on their perception of your personality. Even the master asked his confidants, ‘who do you say I am?’. Irrespective of who you are or what you have, as far as you deal with people day in day out, you need to develop the necessary skills that will allow you to control the behavior of others and yours in a way that it will increase your productivity. To inscribe what you stand for in the rock minds of people, you need to be:
1. ORIGINAL: I am not against people picking and learning from other people or cultures; that I do too, but don’t try to imitate. Imitation is a shortcut to human limitation. Refuse to do business as usual; if no company will pay you for your similarity, it is unfair to expect life to reward you for another man’s brain child. You must be able to define your originality and difference. People will be dragging you never to rise again when they discover the original owner of the idea you are trading, you must take the responsibility to be a reservoir of fresh and original ideas.
2. HONEST: Be reasonable, morally upright, unpretentious, truthful in your dealings irrespective of the situation at the moment; even the dishonest citizens recognize honest citizens in every nation, it is a scarce and needed virtue. If you possess it, people will perceive it.
3. CONSISTENT: Building healthy perceived value is a marathon, not a sprint. If you do it well, do it again, and again. It is a process you will live with for years so you have to make it a lifestyle.
