Integrity and Trust

“Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don’t have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it; it’s true. If you hire somebody without [integrity], you really want them to be dumb and lazy.”
― Warren Buffett

I got recently disappointed by a business partner. I guess like everything else in life happens. Like the betrayal of a teenager girlfriend hurts but there is a bright side: I learnt to appreciate the loyal people that surrounds me. The most important thing in business (and in life) is Trust and this deals directly with Integrity. That determines long term business relations and certainly determine the best human relations.

Have a good night my dear reader!
