Quote by Henry Ford

You can't build a reputation on what you're going to do.

You can't build a reputation on what you're going to do.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of taking action to establish and maintain a reputation. Merely having intentions or plans is insufficient â€“ one's reputation is built upon real achievements and actualization. It implies that people are judged based on their past actions rather than their future promises. Ultimately, it highlights the need for consistent and tangible efforts in order to earn trust and respect, as one's reputation is shaped by what they have already done, not what they intend to do.

The gallows were used to punish criminals, for instance the pharoahs would chop off people's heads and impale their bodies on poles for birds to eat and the Bible says that one of the reasons Jesus came was so that would not happen anymore because he lifted some sort of curse.

The impact of violent video games upon children is not as clearly established as the impact of violent television programming. Young children possess an instinctive desire to imitate actions they observe, without always possessing the intellect or maturity to determine if such actions are appropriate. Due to their role-modeling capacity to promote real world violence, there is deep concern that playing violent video games, with their fully digitized human images, will cause children to become more aggressive toward other children and become more tolerant of, and more likely to engage in, real-life violence.
