Business: Behind The Veil

To those who stand outside

Or young ones still aspiring

The mysteries of business

Are tangled myths conspiring

 

But for those who enter in

The veil is quickly rent

For the secrets of success

Are simply common sense:

 

Make a lot of friends

And always keep in touch

Try to help with problems

But never pry too much

 

Get to know the rules

And always show respect

Play hard but even handed

Give as you hope to get

 

Set a lot of meetings

And always be on time

Talk less and listen more

And never do hard sell

 

Make a lot of money

And always watch your spend

But do not get confused

Between the means and end

 

Get to know your talent

And always have some fun

Throw in a little passion

And get the good job done

 

These are the simple truths

And answers many seek

To the enigma that is business

Behind the veiled mystique

 

So step inside the circle

And very soon you’ll find

The common sense of commerce

Is serving humankind
