Published Jan 01, 1900
A man known for his shady business tactics was giving advice to his son, who had just graduated from college. "There are two rules," the man said, "to keep in mind throughout your business career. The first is: When you give your word, always keep it." "Yes, Dad," the young man said. "And what's the second rule?" "Don't give your word."
