As the chinese have a saying, shang chang ru zhan chang. The
business world is like a war.
Depends on how the war is fought. You can fight with pride and
morals, you can fight with underhand tactics like sabotage,
defaming, etc.
How does one measure success? Monetary earnings? I think not.
Reaching the peak in your field? Being happy and satisfied? Driven
by passion rather than money?
