When we read stories about the conduct of our great predecessors, we often can’t believe that any human being could think or act the way they did. We should realize, however, that even if the stories are exaggerated—which they are not—no one is telling stories like that about us. The accumulation of day-to-day incidents in the lives of the giants of our past built their reputations and created an aura of greatness and respectability around them, prompting others to write about their lives.

As you run through life’s activities—work and leisure, physical and spiritual—stop and consider what others might say about your behavior. True, you should not be controlled by peer pressure, by the opinions of friends and neighbors; however, it only takes a minute of self-evaluation to add another beautiful brushstroke to the picture that others will see—the portrait of you.
DID YOU KNOW THAT
A person who completes their recitation of the silent amidah should bend over and take 3 steps backward while remaining bent over at the waist.Then, while still bowing, he should recite "Oseh Shalom". He first turns to the left and then to the right and finally to the center as a servant leaving his master.
According to the Zohar one should stand straight between each direction and then bow again.
Shulchan Aruch, O'H, 123:1

CONSIDER THIS FOR A MINUTE

Rebbi Yochanan said: We learn fear of sin from a young, pure woman.

Once, Rebbi Yochanan heard a young girl saying: “Master of the Universe, You created a Gan Eden and You created a Gehinam. You created the righteous and you created the wicked. May it be Your will that no one sins because of me.”

Rebbi Yochanan sensed the piety of this girl who was fearful that someone else might be attracted to her and sin in thought or deed. She dressed and acted in the ways of modesty, but feared the possibility that she might bring another to sin. (Sotah 22a)

Note: One should realize that this young girl did keep all the laws of modesty as prescribed by the Torah and still she feared that another might look at her and sin. How much must one guard against bringing others to bad thoughts!
