One action can displace many

Still true to this day Wayne.

As we continue the journey, we must always remember: "A good name, like good will, is got by many actions and lost by one!"

Wayne- your words still ring true today.  While I love playing your daily Trivia...I'm so glad that you're sharing these posts with us as well. Good words of wisdom. 

Wayne I must admit my views, ethics and morals have not changed over the years, so I am sure yours's have not changed either, no wonder we are friends, Endre.

You are correct Wayne that the development of a good name does not change it is built up year after year. Other things can change over time though.

Hello Wayne - our ActiveRain archives along with other recollections of the past provide perspective. 

PS - and that's a point that lasts.  

Oh my gosh - this is so true. One action, one moment, can totally change a reputation and a life.

I agree with Endre Barath, Jr. - perspective on things may change but not your esssential moral compass

Good morning Wayne Martin ,

Love the words of wisdom in your post. Good to look back and see if we still agree with our messages. I think your spot on with this one. I'm liking your reflections. keep them coming.

No doubt about that, Wayne. It can take a long time to build a reputation and no time at all to destroy it.

This is so true, Wayne.
A reputation can be lost in an instant regardless of all the good done before.

Going back and revisiting old posts is a great thing to practice. This one is timeless!

So true about a good name. Much like a firm handshake.

Congrats on the feature.

Wayne Martin  A good name is worth more than money .So Glad Kathy Streib featured this 

This is still very good advice to share.

Have a great day and an outstanding week.

Hi Wayne Martin - A wonderful post that has stood the test of time.  Happy Sunday!

Wayne Martin - I am glad you went back into the archives to  revive your older posts. This one is timeless and speaks volumes.

No one wants a car accident but it's something most people can get over with repairs or replacement vehicles.

No one enjoys bad luck, but things can change in a heartbeat.

But when it comes to our name and reputation, a good name can be destroyed and a person may never recover. 

Very wise words indeed. Thinking before you speak is paramount in life.

Well said, then and now, Wayne Martin!

Hello Wayne

Well on this particular post, I can comfortably say I I believe you will always hold the same belief!       However I find it very timely to bring it to light right now when there is an individual  constantly  in the news who many believe is exempt  from earning a well deserved BAD NAME!   History will show these unfortunate Maggots to be mistaken!!!
