Making a Profit or Giving it Away-Humankind and Philosophy in the Balance
Print This Article Ezine Publisher Send To Friends Add To Favorites Post A Comment Suggest Topic Report Author

Whizzing in perpetual motion the minds of those in the Online Think Tank never stop considering all sides to all issues in their quest to come up with the best decisions and solutions for mankind. Recently a topic came up which pits capitalism against socialism in the ultimate challenge as one gentleman who worked 30 years in an R and D research project is now giving it all away.

Thus he stated that giving it away is best for humanity. Well yes in a way it is pretty nice of him. I agree that if you have an idea or concept that giving it is better for humanity and yet there is nothing wrong with making a profit either. I also believe that Bill Gates did give away much of what he produced if you will recall. In fact he did so well the government told him to stop it. No free browsers with the operating systems said FTC.

William Gates III continues to give away gifts to the world; he and Warren Buffet. Indeed, I give away lots of information, concepts and stuff as well. Before retirement we gave away our services often as well and carefully to the right people too. Much of the information I put out to the World now is simply to do the right thing and I have seen the World make good use of it.

I completely live up to my words and we always give to the community and we always have. Yet many say that most businesses are full of rhetoric and only PR their good deeds. That is unfortunate and sometimes it makes me wish I hadn't when I read the horrific things people say about entrepreneurs. If you condemn entrepreneurs then do not take this personally, as everyone does this, because they do not understand.

It is unfortunate that socialist are so quick to condemn me, as an entrepreneur. But to me it proves that they do not have all the facts, are not observant in their observations and thus their rhetoric comment are best saved for their mirrors. I hope this article is hard-hitting and makes you think in your quest to be the best in 2007.
