Businesses succeed when societies themselves succeed. When countries are affected by violence and the absence of the rule of law, business can and must be a messenger of peace.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Business is one of the most powerful institutions on Earth for creating wealth and opportunity and helping to lift people out of poverty. When you think about it that way, then business is not separate from development policy.
Many individuals are doing what they can. But real success can only come if there is a change in our societies and in our economics and in our politics.
In embracing change, entrepreneurs ensure social and economic stability.
There is an immutable conflict at work in life and in business, a constant battle between peace and chaos. Neither can be mastered, but both can be influenced. How you go about that is the key to success.
The idea of capitalism is not just success but also the failure that allows success to happen.
We need business to understand its social responsibility, that the main task and objective for a business is not to generate extra income and to become rich and transfer the money abroad, but to look and evaluate what a businessman has done for the country, for the people, on whose account he or she has become so rich.
Failure is inevitable; it happens all the time in a complex economy.
If we become one of those societies that attack success, why not come as certain there will be a lot less success? And that's not who we are.
In the business world today, failure is apparently not an option. We need to change this attitude toward failure - and celebrate the idea that only by falling on our collective business faces do we learn enough to succeed down the road.
Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
