Cutthroat. Shark. Whatever it takes to win. Is honor/integrity absent from business? Can one be a mouse everywhere and a louse at work?

To the business owners out there. Do you have one set of moral standards for your business dealings and another set for everything else? Is success based on how low your standards go to achieve it or how high your standards remain while achieving it?

    Honor and integrity makes for bad business.  You cannot love $ and humanity at the same time.

    What about Bill & Melinda Gates or Warren Buffet or the over 100 other wealthy folks who have pledged to leave most of their fortunes to charities? Trump is a very bad example...quite possibly the worst example...of success. There are other successes far greater than his and I do believe those folks have integrity and empathy and are filled with the love of humanity. Thank you for your reply SS and the graphic!  :)

    If you pledge 51% of a fortune....you're not in love with $$.  JK Rowling moved herself right off the Billionaires List with her charitable giving.
