Honest Businessman

There is no such thing,
as an honest businessman,
if there are they don't remain in business for very long.
If I were in the business of selling rice,
but I know that my completion sells rice for a much lower price,
if I refer all of my potential customers to my competition,
then I am truly an honest businessman,
but again, I will not remain in business for very long.

Someone will always try to profit from any circumstance. Being in business does not build character... it reveals character. Stay well my friend.
