I loved this Buddhist verse the first time I read it, not only because it is true, but also because it is virtually opposite to what business people teach and expect these days, at least the ones in the U.S.A.
    More than once, during annual reviews, I was told by managers that I needed to speak up more during meetings, that I needed to express my opinions and ideas.  My usual answer that if I actually had something new and constructive to add to the discussion, I would speak up, was not acceptable.  Managers felt I, and everyone else, needed to speak up to get noticed even if we had nothing to really say.  Kind of like teens making stupid videos for You Tube just to get their fifteen minutes of fame.
