Business Conduct From The Wise- Quotes

The wealthiest of the wealthy is a good expert to learn from! See what King Solomon has to say about business conducts!
Any business that wants to extend has to make some serious market research before making large quantities of a new product. However, it is a well known truth that a people oriented business is the most successful because it shows its interest toward the final beneficiary- the consumer.

But is it important whom you associate with? Regardless of the size of a business whether you are on an international level or you simply sell in your hometown the principles from the richest man known to have lived on earth will surely prove of great reliability, I am talking about the King Solomon. In his days silver was as common as the rocks on the country road.

Here are some of his wisdom sayings:

1. Do not associate with:
"Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn his ways and get yourself ensnared."
"A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much."

"Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men."
"He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend."
"Many a man claims to have unfailing love, but a faithful man who can find?"
"Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel."

3. Play fair:
"He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and he who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty."
"He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed."
"The Righteous One takes note of the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin."
"When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers."
"A man who strays from the path of understanding comes to rest in the company of the dead."
"The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct of the innocent is upright."

"Food gained by fraud tastes sweet to a man, but he ends up with a mouth full of gravel."
"The LORD detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please him."
"To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice."
"A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare."

4. What brings the wealth and honor?

"He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor."
"The righteous man leads a blameless life; blessed are his children after him."

5. Don’t forget about other’s needs:
"If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered."

6. Adopt a balanced lifestyle:
"He who loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and oil will never be rich."

7. Your words are extremely important::
"He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity.
"It is to a man's honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel."

8. Avoid laziness:
"A sluggard does not plow in season; so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing."
"Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare."

9. Don’t be intimidated by apparent opposition:
"It's no good, it's no good!" says the buyer; then off he goes and boasts about his purchase.

9. Plan carefully:
"Make plans by seeking advice; if you wage war, obtain guidance."
"An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning will not be blessed at the end."
"It is a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider his vows."
"The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty."

By far all of these sayings can be brought into a single one that Jesus Christ the Son of God uttered: do to others what you would like others to do to you.
" There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD."
" The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD."
