Answer 2

Hello Mate

The expectation of intelligent gossip is a powerful motive for serious self-criticism, more powerful than New Year resolutions to improve one's decision making at work and at home.

If you believe people are going to talk about you behind your back, you will think hard to avoid saying or doing nonsense things. It's stronger motivation than just resolving to do better.

Thanks
