I will repeat these words that are not mine, until somebody understands them.
A GM executive once said: The business of GM is not making cars. The business of GM is making money.
Now,
how can you make a good car, if your goal is not to make a car but to
make money out of it? You're fated to make the cheapest crappiest car
because you will make more money that way.
How can you cure a
human being, if you're more concerned with the money you will extract
from him to spend in a holiday in the Bahamas?
Doing things with ulterior motives is not the way to do things. You're lying to yourself and to your costumers.
I
am not saying people should do things for free. In the present state of
society, you don't have time to fish in the morning, be your own doctor
in the afternoon and make your own car at night. But money, in a fair
society should be a tool for exchanging value, not to create value,
because money is a symbol it has no value on itself, it cannot breed
itself. I spent ten hours building a car. The price of the car should
be 10 hours plus steel and rubber. I spent ten hours curing your
hemorroids,the price of the cure should be 10 hours plus gauze plus one
hour for the year I studied curing hemorrhoids.
But, in order to
sell cars for profit, you need to pay the worker less than his work is
worth, use the cheapest materials, and on top of that say, buy my car
because it will make you look good and get laid, so put more 10000
bucks for the guarantee of getting laid that this car will give you.
And so on and so forth.
Finally, the hours of your life are
priceless, you cannot sell the time of your life, like you sell peanuts
of paper clips. You're not a thing. Your time is yours, you are the
only one who is entitled to put a price on the goods you produce with
the time of your life. |
