All businesses experience risk. If you want a perfect life, being a part of management in a very large company is not for you.
The really sad part in all this Goldman Sachs, oh, any large international corporation, is that many individuals in management want big wealth with little effort and zero risk. It doesn’t work that way.
"China in the Red"
Stress is etched all over [Feng Hui-Xiu's] face. For 28 years, the 44-year-old factory worker has worked at Beijing's sprawling Number One Machine Tool Plant. But the Chinese Communist Party has ordered all state-owned companies to become modern, profitable enterprises or face being closed down. For Feng Hui-Xiu and tens of millions of Chinese workers like her, the future is very uncertain.
It seems to me that all of that unprofitable China bloat got secularized during this past boom.
