Right or Wrong-Ambition?

The MBA Oath by Max Anderson and Peter Escher

By far chapter 8 of the book is the best; the author delineates capitalism in its true sense. Many people come to wrong conclusion in the quest for their personal ambition –– greed is good. My motto in life is that one has to maintain balance in life. Any extreme form will just bring stress, tension, and like. One should be pursuing "self-interest" and not greed as the guideline for one's ambition. But to decide when are you crossing that thin line of self-interest and greed is a tough call. So that is where greater good concept jumps in. You make decisions that incorporates the environment. Where you define the boundary of that environment is the key question? Is at the organizational level, industry level, market level, society level, national level, international level, or humanity level? Expand your horizon and you will never be wrong. Author puts another twist to this mountain story that is really beautiful. "It is more important for everyone to get down alive than for one person to reach to the top." When competition turns into battle; when protection turns into killing; or when self-interest turns into greed makes a huge difference in deciding when right turns into wrong.

How Easy, so slippery,
The Evil, Devil path,
Many come and slip,
This slippery sloppy path.

Those who think, slip,
Those who don't, slip too,
Those discerning right & wrong,
Only fly high and sky,
Than just join the ones,
Down this slippery sloppy path.
I was here, You were there,
Focus of a free will,
Focus was all there was,
Focus is all there is,
A constant reverie that never dies.

Beautiful you are, so Beautiful!
Calm, Soothing with a free Spirit,
With highs & lows, like a ride on a rill,
Living moments as they come,
With Purity, Passion, and Fortitude.

Dear Sally! You so small but smile so big,
You smile, I smile, the beauty that never fades,
Your fleeting glimpse, makes my day never blue.
I like it, I do it, I don't like it, I don't do it––It is really that simple. Try to force it on me, you are hitting your head against a brick wall.

I see you.
"But I am here."

I hear you,
Hear you loud and Clear.
"But, I didn't say anything."

You is all I see,
See you, but nothing else,
So forgive me worldly creatures,
For I am a creature of world myself.

I know, we are weak,
They think, they are strong,
Gather now, & Once we are,
With joined hands, & Spiritual Bonds,
Now we Roar that shakes,
Shakes the strongest pillar out there,
Telling the world,
Now not you, But we,
Pose the strength of the strongest.
