opportunist

'opportunist', thats what businessman called themself.

This morning, my business lecturer keep repeating the words until it makes me felt sick. He claimed that there were tons of opportunities or huge market for the survival and disaster planning, or self sufficiency products, as the extreme and bizzare winter in UK and the perceived threat from terorrist attack (eg. the 11/9, London bombing incidents) had created a 'survivalist' mentality in population. And as a true enterpreneur, this is a golden opportunity to make money!

Taking advantages of these disasters and sad happenings as an opportunity to get big pounds, how sickening is that! which reminded me of how much i dislike business. i knew the business itself is a neutral thing, but the way that some businessman over-emphasizing on the profit than the business ethics and integrity just makes me feel sad. The tactic that they use to lure and to manipulate the customer, the way that they perceived these sad happenings as a potential market and a source of innovation...

sigh....

living in this world is no longer like the cavemen world, what brings foward the existence of businessman? in fact its us, ourselves, cuz we need providers for the community. And to be truth, without customer, they wont even exist, hence we do need the businesman to ensure the continuity and the survival of human race. so should i blaming the businessman for taking advantages of every opportunity to earn profit for themselves??? Apparently, they did no wrongs in the eyes of the law. you cant get prosecuted for being selfish nor money minded. Being moral and yet profit minded at the same time, thats spells for I-M-P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E.

Hence, the perfect society remains an utopia.

pathetic. living in such a distorted world.
