Another thing called CHANGE!

STEP 1: CHANGE YOUR LOOK

It's been said over and over again that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. But fact is, people often do. It's only natural; even in nature, sometimes perception is more important than reality. Animals change their appearance so other animals will think they're forecast or the most harmless (before unleashing their deadly fangs).

STEP 2: CHANGE YOUR CHARACTER

Your reputation is what people say about you; your character is who you really are. To truly change how people see you, you have to become the person you want to be. And unlike a new outfit you can instantly appear different, changing your ways will take longer and more effort.

STEP 3: CHANGE YOUR CROWD

One saying that people do take to heart is that birds of a feather flock together. Hang out with the right crowd, and their REP becomes your REP--you're suddenly Ms. Popular without having to do a thing.

STEP 4: CHANGE YOUR MINDSET

If the only reason you want to change your image is 'cause you're obsessed about what others think of you, you may find yourself on a never-ending wildgoose chase for perfection and acceptance. Hey, you can't please everyone, and there will always be talk as people try to fit you into the mold of what they want you to be.
