About This Quote
It is a sad fact that many of us believe that honesty and kindness are mutually exclusive qualities. In reality, truthfulness and kindness can go hand in hand, as any honest person will tell you. In the world of business, it is often necessary to be ruthless. However, even when we must be ruthless, we should not be cruel or unfair. We need to use honesty and kindness to find solutions so that the people we work with and the customers we serve can keep their jobs and their money.
