LadyEllen -> on business success - and how the west was lost (11/13/2010 8:37:59 AM)

Well, it seems my failure to grasp the nature of our economic miracle has finally caught up with me.
Despite the great exertions of our leaders and financiers to provide me with the ideal business environment in which to operate, my personal moral failings have apparently outweighed their best efforts and occasioned the demise of one and the likely demise of the other company I founded.
The impressive and heroic actions of these glorious champions of the economy just weren’t enough it seems, to counterbalance my erroneous methodology these last 7 years.
Of course, I blame myself, for who else is there to blame? After all, it must have been my frivolous, misguided and risky behaviour that brought all of this about. It’s the only explanation that fits given all the advantages, help and support, not to mention the clear and shining example I’ve received from those who know better than I about how to succeed in the market.
I suppose its down in no small part to my failure to understand the opportunities for success opened up to me by the fact that my overseas competitors’ operating costs, payroll and overheads are so much lower, so that they’re at a clear disadvantage in the international market our political leaders so cleverly engineered for the national benefit.
Added to which of course, I am clearly not suited to business what with a chronic psychological disorder, which compels me to deal honourably, fairly and legally and to observe regulations and laws.
It’s a clear recipe for failure, and one that it seems is employed widely by equally ignorant and afflicted people throughout the land. If only we were capable of taking on board the lessons we have been given and capable of comprehending the nature of our economic miracle, we might have succeeded, but it seems we’re all dunces.
No wonder our highly successful banks wont back us then. No wonder again that suppliers cant get credit insurance on our purchases. No wonder still that having failed to understand the modern methodology of business success our leaders have no sympathy with our self engineered plight and find themselves unwilling to offer comfort or rescue.
Yet not all is darkness and despair. Having identified the reasons for failure there is a clear way forward in the restructuring of personal character and morality towards that which is required for success, beginning with the learning by rote of the key and basic premises that all that matters is financial success and that this end justifies any means, regardless of collateral effects on others.
The undoing of years of damaging, erroneous and foolish thought patterns may take time and effort of course. Thank goodness that our leaders and financiers have pity enough upon us to provide the necessary motivation to this end in the meantime by reducing, and hopefully over time withdrawing entirely, the social security welfare net that might have otherwise inhibited our rehabilitation, both as individuals and as a nation, and providing clear guidance in the form of home repossessions and creditor’s bankruptcy proceedings, respectively.
I am confident that the lessons of the early 21st century will be rapidly absorbed and that, in time, our individual and national recovery shall ensue.
I look forward to passing these invaluable lessons on to the next generations as, bedding down for the night in the Chinese owned factory that is my home and support at age 80, they question my sanity as I regale them in hushed tones with tales, over the bowl of rice we’re sharing, of how the west was lost.
