Businesspeople are like sharks, not just because we're gray and slightly oily, or because our teeth trail the innards of those we have eviscerated, but because we must move forward or die.

About This Quote

Business people are like sharks, not just because we’re gray and slightly oily, or because our teeth trail the innards of those we have eviscerated, but because we must move forward or die. We can’t afford to be nice. We can’t afford to let the people around us get in the way of our success. A shark is a predator that swims peacefully for a while among fish then attacks from behind, from inside the school.

The sharks don’t try to be sneaky and they don’t try to avoid big groups of fish. They just go in and take what they want. Businesspeople see their competitors as the fish and they go in for the kill.
