"Kindness kills commerce, hence every successful one is unkind to the not have" [1], so she said to us when closing. Those were the words of a partner's friend during a chat over a relaxed conversation at his home. It was quite an eye opener for the fact that no woman in my life has ever uttered such to me, the reason why they stuck.
She actually made a couple of good valid points but that one remained locked in to me. Truth is, I've heard people say such in many ways a man may put them, just that somehow a woman has a subtle way into a man in word, and with where I am now with my life, managed to shake me into a true wake.
If you're a biznes person you aren't supposed to be a nice fellow I heard, and anyone who's nice should receive a PDNE sticker plugged to their name. In my days of schooling I was taught it stands for "please do not erase", but today got told it means "please do not endorse". How quickly times have changed to say it safely.
PDNE is now used for ones like me to be labeled as the good wrongdoers by the feisty wrongdoers. Any person finding themselves in the space of commerce is advised to not be their selves in kind but rather their selves ruthless. But then, my question is: "does one have to be unkind in order for them to be successful in biznes?" and the answer I now got is "yes, one has to be."
In conclusion: in biznes life we learn with each encounter and the lessons drawn in each somehow impacting how one builds in shape their legacy. One bad thing for some is the way situations have effect on us all the time, which is good for others though importantly yourself. There're certain moves by some particular persons that someway alter your outlook on life and force you to drop your advancing of character in favor of personality in dealing with some circumstancial eventualities.
'However you look at it, 'life in biznes is a path that chose you or chosen by you, via dictation from your lead circumstances' [2]. In biznes, you don't just learn, you grow. Whether you go in red or blue ocean, it remains your strategy to uphold in your journey as a biznes person, with your choices as your niches as you carry along. Remember that what's important is you shouldn't let PDNE work against you in that it should be by you putting it on others...dp
