Don't Be Moved By What People Say.

Look at him. He behaves as if this company is owned by his father. Look at the way she walks. Wow, that Guy is very short and ugly. The shirt she is wearing is fake. Girl, look at that lady's shoes, etc" are ways at which people say things or speak ill of others. Nothing you do or say that will stop people from talking. As long as you are on earth, people will always speak of you.
 But you should not be worried because the Bible says in Luke 6:26(26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets). If nobody says any thing about you, that means you are not alive. People will say things, conspire and speak ill of you both at home, office, church, neighbourhood,etc. If you were not important they would not speak about you. Jesus Christ did a lot for mankind when he was on earth. He healed the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, got people saved. Did you know that  they said he healed and cast out demons by the Belzebul and called him a friend of sinners. They called him  all sorts of  names inspite of what he did. They will also call you names as long as you still have breath in your nostril.
 If all people say about you is good, wonderful, great, great, etc then examine yourself because some thing is wrong and the bible says woe unto you if all they say about you is good. In other words, rejoice when people speak ill of you because the bible says in matt 5:11&12 (11 God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers.12 Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way).
 Some times when people speak ill of us and try to tarnish our image, they are actually promoting and advertising us for good. A man did not like his colleague in his office. He hated the man's guts. So he tried to tarnish his image before the MD of the company. Guess what. The man ended up promoting that other man in front of the MD without knowing it because  at that point in time, the MD was looking for some one with that attitude  to occupy a senior management position. The reported man ended up having a position he was not aware of and he didn't apply for.
 Other times when people speak ill of us, we should take it constructively because they may be telling the truth. Instead of taking every thing you hear people say about you to heart, check and ask yourself if what they are saying is true and try to use it constructively  to change any thing wrong about you.
