The Dilemma of Individuality and Rational Self-Interest: The Missing Link of Strategic Thought

Disclamier: This is a philosophical blog. All things that I discuss here are from a philosophical point of view or from an ethical point of view. For example, if I mention 'individualism', it is most likely that I'm discussing philosophical individualism rather than political individualism or economic individualism.                         We all like happy endings. I'm using the term happy as a metaphor here. For suspense lovers, the mystery has to be unpredictable to be happy. For sentimental types, catharsis brings joy.

At this stage, probably you are not concerned about monetary benefits, in case if you are concerned, you shouldn't! This is because you start out with passion and most probably you don't know the business. The second motivation would be, a sense of conscious/sub conscious pride that you are helping the community.
