 “Ethics, and not profit, are the most important thing for business.”

I would have to agree with this statement because I believe business needs to be healthy. Money and business is such a vast topic that I must claim that this is solely my view and I do not have expectations of others to agree with me. A saying comes to mind when discussing this topic and that is: If you love your job, you’ll never work a day in your life!

Business is simply what you do and money is in the equation in order to represent value. If what you do is who you are, then there is a close relation between your work environments and perspective that affect your personality. I believe one of our needs as a human is to feel fulfilled and it is usually through our work where we can accomplish this. People need to  needs to be happy and therefore should take every opportunity to fill as many as possible through work to have a fulfilling career. The way to get this in a society is to encourage people to follow their passions and develop their creativity. Working in this way becomes an expression of one’s self as opposed to fitting into a position in a ridged structure. This is what I mean when I say business needs to be healthy, it is very possible and even more profitable when a business supports the mental and physical health of its employees through creating opportunities of free expression.

A couple other points that I will leave with you to ponder are; profit breeds greed and money is supposed to represent well-being. What kind of world are we creating if Ethics are not at the forefront of business?
