It Takes 20 Years to Build a Reputation and 5 Minutes to Ruin it. – Warren Buffett

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently. – Warren Buffett 

When you tell someone to “go Google yourself,” you’re usually implying that they are self-obsessed and conceited, but while someone who looks themselves up on Google daily may be a bit egotistic, you really should Google yourself here and there. That’s because your name is your reputation in the modern world and there’s no faster way to find out about someone than to Google someone.

If you Google yourself and find out someone has been spreading lies about you or putting your personal information online, you need to know that so you can try to stop it before this information harms you and your reputation.

Go Google Yourself!
