It has long been known that politicians and businessmen do not overburden themselves with intellectual workloads. The very concept of "success" does not depend at all on logic or talent. With a "fair" exchange of spiritual values (conscience) for material values (profit in commerce), there will always be damage.
You can be a smart person
And don't regret it later, Change conscience for a calculator, To be known as a businessman and on parquet
Walk with the face of an innocent bastard.
The instruction in the theses reflects fragmentarily the essence of the problem
Deep down, almost everyone dreams of becoming rich. Live in pleasure and not worry about tomorrow. I would like, of course, that this wealth fell on the head in the form of an inheritance, replete with material values. If eminent relatives did not happen, then there may be hope for countless treasures, not buried very deeply - like oil deposits in the UAE. In other cases, the whole conscience is gathered into a fist and is thrown far away - so that there is no reminder of it. The motto is: "Exchange of conscience for a calculator."
In fairness, it should be noted that not all rich people became such because of a complete loss of conscience. It happens that it is enough to lose half. Their advantage is that they worked tirelessly, starting with a penny, risking everything and even their lives (the "nineties" have not yet been forgotten). These people disappeared in their factories and offices, exchanging health for profit.
But now we are talking about other "heroes". About the builders of "muddy" schemes, economic frauds, frauds of the closest and most trusting, zealous "push-ups" (and not from the floor!). So what replaces the calculator ?! Yes, absolutely everything that makes a person happy (not up to morality now).
A healthy sleep, without fear of waking up, that the shares on the stock exchange have fallen in price. A woman's love is due to the fear that they love not a man, but his money. Fear that the house will be burned because it has been taken from another. That everyone lies, that the liar himself judges by himself. That although it is scary, but the bribe must be taken, otherwise another will take it. Experiences do not have time to snatch from the pie, which is being divided. Horror for the fact that the heir will squander all the acquired dishonestly. But how else, because how it came, so it must go. First grader arithmetic!
And now, in appearance, he is a completely contented master of life, but in the depths of his soul he is a coward, such as the world has never seen. And you just have to feel sorry for him! After all, having lulled his conscience, and maybe even losing it completely, such a businessman will sooner or later fall off the pedestal and roll down.
