The examples of successful people should serve only as references, but you should use them as opportunities to reflect and consider yourself as the key to success. If you generalize the success secrets of successful people, you will eventually end up with meaningless advice that offers hope, and you might even undermine yourself. The circumstances, timing, qualities, and talents of successful people are not the same as mine, so it’s risky to generalize their secrets. Instead of making such broad assumptions, you can only succeed if you develop your own philosophy and approach based on your inclinations, qualities, and circumstances, using success secrets as inspiration. No matter how good the clothes are, if they don’t fit my body, they are useless. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Some question the need for ethics and a mission in business, even when the company is profitable. A transaction involves meeting needs and recognizing values, both of which connect to “morality.” Trust underpins all transactions, and morality is its foundation. While anyone can err, it is our moral obligation to make amends. Though it may be tempting to disregard that morality by persisting in trade, there are decisions that, without an ethical framework, can lead to irreversible consequences. This is not merely a mistake.
