Success and reputation are things that other people decide about you . . .

“Success and reputation are things that other people decide about you, aren’t they? They come or go or live or die in the perceptions of other people. They’re not actually things that you have. So, the experience of being well known isn’t really any different than not being well known. You’re still just you looking out. It’s just how you manage other people's expectations or manage the issues that come from them that are important.”
