In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else.
In the end, all business operations can be reduced to three words; people, product and profits. Unless you've got a good team, you can't do much with the other two.
In the end, all business operations can be reduced to three words: people, product, and profits.
In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.
