Know Business and Do it

       What is business?

                        How is it done?

Any one can answer this question.. The only thing that differs is the in depth understanding or the real meaning of it. A child may say that business is what my fathers does throughout the day- moving here and there and selling goods to people.. Whereas a grown up adult can have a different definition of it.. S/he may say that "A business is an organization or firm engaged in the trade of goods, services or both to consumers ." But do you think what really business? Even i do not know what really it is.. To me business is the sector which may help me to get my name in FORBES list of billionaires. This may sound funny to you. But to me it is a real thing and to many of you also. 

 So, lets know what actually business is and how is it done? This is not my definition nor your's.. This is the definition from the professionals . 

According to businessdictionary.com                                                                            

An economic system in which goods and services are exchanged for one another or money, on the basis of their perceived worth. Every business requires some form of investment and a sufficient number of customers to whom its output can be sold at profit on a consistent basis."

         

      And now this is : How business is done?

Conversation between Mrs. X & her son Y.
X: I want you to marry a girl of my choice
Y : "I will choose my own bride!"
X: "But the girl is Bill Gates's daughter."
Y : "Well, in that case...ok"
Next Mrs.X approaches Bill Gates.
X: "I have a husband for your daughter."
Bill Gates: "But my daughter is too young to marry!"               

         X: "But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank."
         Bill Gates: "Ah, in that case...ok"
         Finally X goes to see the president of the World Bank.
         X: "I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president."
         President: "But I already have more vice- presidents than I need!"
         X: "But this young man is Bill Gates's son-in-law."
         President: "Ah, in that case...ok"

         This is how business is done!!

               So enjoy your world of business..
