“Ah, come on, dude!” I said, taking a long swig from my bottle. “There must be something! Something that you do differently from all those other schmucks—like myself—out there.” “Alright, alright, hold your horses! You wanna hear the actual secret? The simple truth that everybody wants to know? The thing that’s right in front of your nose but hardly anyone sees?” John looked around as if to make sure nobody was eavesdropping, but there was no one around. He leaned in to whisper something in my ear. “Alright. Now, listen very closely…” It got awfully quiet as I eagerly waited for the answer. John squinted his eyes. Then, he ripped a huge fart.

“Lo que se hizo más evidente con esa experiencia fue la lección de que los negocios que promueven y ayudan a las comunidades, pueden también ser extremadamente exitosos, estos no deben ser objetivos separados. Una compañía o un individuo no tiene que esperar a construir algo grande para luego donar dinero, estas cosas se pueden hacer paralelamente, y el éxito es todavía alcanzable.”
