Work

There is no conflict between ‘profit and ‘social responsibility.’ To earn enough to cover the genuine costs which only the so-called ‘profit’ can cover, is economic and social responsibility — indeed, it is the specific social and economic responsibility of business. It is not the business that earns a profit adequate to its genuine costs of capital, to the risks of tomorrow and to the needs of tomorrow’s worker and pensioner that ‘rips off’ society. It is the business that fails to do so.

~ Peter Drucker

You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new.

~ Steve Jobs

 

If you do one good deed your reward usually is to be set to do another and harder and better one.
