Sales: "You want answers?"
Finance: "I think we are entitled to them!"
Sales: "You want answers?!"
Finance: "I want the truth!"
Sales: "You can't handle the truth!!! Son, we live in a world that requires net license revenue. And that revenue must be brought in by people with elite skills. Who's going to find it? You? You, Mr. Operations? We have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom.
You scoff at the sales division and you curse our lucrative incentives.
You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what we know:
That while the cost of business results are excessive, it drives revenue. And my very existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, drives REVENUE! You don't want to know the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at staff meetings … you want me on that call. You NEED me on that call!
We use words like upgrades, another round, top-shelf, medium-rare, on-the-rocks, cabernet, Cohiba and foursome. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent negotiating something. You use them as a punch line!
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to people who rise and sleep under the very blanket of revenue I provide and then question the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a phone and make some sales calls. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!"
Finance: "Did you expense the lap dancers?"
Sales: "I did the job I was hired to do."
Finance: "Did you expense the lap dancers?!"
Sales: "You're goddamn right I did!"

If you're like most people whose dreams of home business fortunes have become nightmares, this could be the most important business opportunity letter you'll ever read.
And you'll want to read every word. Because you're about to discover how to defeat the Two-Headed Monster that's been blocking 95% of all participants in home based network and Internet marketing from ever making much if any money.
And that means this is about your brighter future.
I couldn't sleep after I found this. Every day I discover something more about it that just blows me away. The more I learn, the bigger and better it gets. Especially the humongous, stupendous, magnitudinous window of, well… HUGE opportunity that exists between now and September.
I must begin by describing the Two-Headed Monster for reasons that will become clear to you as we go. Read the business opportunity letter now! * If you're familiar with the phenomenon of the movie "The Secret", remember the words of Joe Vitale when he says, "The Universe likes speed!" so go there now and be the creator of your future. *
* NOTE: This letter takes 15-20 minutes to read and unless you're serious about taking charge and changing your life, this may not be right for you right now.

"He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me. When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait for me… whenever… wherever - in case I need him. And I expect I will - as I always have. He is just my dog."
– Gene Hill

Y our goal is to find your way within it and to strive to be the very best that you can be. In our times, more is required to make a single wise man than was needed in former ages to make seven! - B. Gracian

Nothing is more precious than friends; therefore, lose no opportunity to make them. Men will always get together to talk; and friends can help, and enemies can harm you, in times and places you would never have expected. - Francesco Guicciardini (Ricordi)
Betrayal by a friend is always the hardest. Bad actions by enemies is understood and expected, but having a friend turn against you is mystifying. Perhaps it helps to think about the possibility that there are other forces at work in the friends life that caused the action against you. It may have nothing to do with you, but rather some pressure caused by who knows what left you hurt and angry by someone you cared about. Think things over and consider forgiveness at some future time. Friends can help works both ways.
