Any Truth To This Warren Buffett Quote?
 

"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently."
- Warren Buffet

100% true if you care about a reputation

but it will get you in both good and bad places.

think that is a given

i always thought his most famous quote was


"bigger the postcount, bigger the penis size"


;)

I think the truth of that statement is probably a very difficult thing for some people to accept. We are fallible, all human. Yet some seem to struggle more towards ideals. A thing like a reputation may become very "abstract" for certain people, given certain emotional conditions. And I understand that. Live and let live, right. But basically, I see the world as divided into 2 camps: those who are trying to improve shit, and those who are trying to hold shit back. Anybody says they ain't scared of change is a fucking liar. But, I tell ya this, it's a lot easier to face change when you can hold your head up.

Anything could be true. I mean have you ever "met" Mr. Buffet? Were you there when he said this?

Even people who say something did happen could be full of it. Like me... right now.

I don't know or care if he made that statement. It's true though :)

"buy and forget."

That doesn't make a lick of sense coming from...oh wait WARREN Buffet not Jimmy Buffet, never mind.

100% truth, maybe even 110%

It does have some meaning to it

It does have some merit.

I believe that a solid rep can be built in much less than 20 years. And if built right, it will take a lot more than 5 minutes to destroy.
