Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody;s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Honesty in Business

'My boy,' said a businessman to his son, 'there are two things that are vitally necessary if you are to succeed in business.'

'What are they, dad?'

'Honesty and wisdom.'

'What is honesty?'

'Always-it doesn't matter what happens, or however badly it may affect you - always keep your word once you have given it.'

'And wisdom?'




'Never give your word.'
