Am I afraid failure will ruin my reputation? If I don’t have a reputation, how can I ruin what doesn’t exist?
The only way to get a reputation is to do something.
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it. Warren Buffett
When I read Buffett’s quote it reminds me that losing your reputation is generally tied to matters of personal character and not legitimate actions that “fail.”
Give your very best to everything and always take the high road.
Regardless of the results, your reputation will remain intact.
Failure is not bad. Doing nothing is.
