The Objective

A lot of people go into business for the sole purpose of earning profit. However, is this supposed to be the main purpose of businesses? Numerous businessmen think of it this way but I believe that there is something more to business instead of profit.

Actually, we discussed this topic in one of our class sessions. We compared business to one's life. In analogy with the person, profit is like food, water, and air which supplies our body with nutrients but, a person's goal in life isn't to eat, drink, or breathe. There's something more to a person's life and that's the same when it comes to business.

The income obtained isn't the main objective of companies. It shouldn't be. There are different goals for every company but I believe that the main objective should be to help give back to the community and to the environment which would in turn, help make the world a better place to live in.
