Having No Shame Is a Talent
If you want a long and stable life, it’s better to manage the expectations people have of you. Don’t try to be a 【perfect person】—ideally, you should come across as someone with desires and a short temper.
The more high-profile and perfect your image is, the less forgivable any mistake becomes. The lower and more humble your image, the more people will overlook your errors—but the slightest good deed will be hailed from the rooftops.
Keep your persona as low as possible; this is the advantage of having a low profile.
If you’re in business and looking to make a profit, don’t obsess over maintaining a perfect image. A perfect persona is too fragile and will ultimately hurt you.
It’s essentially expectation management—the kind of topic you often see in investment and wealth management content.
