Although I may not have business dealings with them but we do meet from time to time over dinner, to discuss things, about life, about furthering studies, and sharing of resources. We often chat using QQ to familiarise ourselves with English words -- after all, we are not native English speakers. Wan

Wan,

It's better not to make friends with partners. Business partners are partners. Even brothers "break up" due to interest distribution. Guoqiao Rice Noodles is a famous local snack in Yunnan. Qiao Xiang Yuan is a famous chain restaurant that sell Guoqiao Rice Noodles. It is opened and developed by two brothers. The older brother sued his little brother and required him to give him more than 30 million dividends. They are siblings but finally met in the court.

Dear Cherry
When greed takes over, whatever human has will wither and devoid of humanity thus they lose their focus of life as well as losing an identity which we should cherish. I never compete with others although I live in a competitive world. How I wish I could compete in knowledge excellence rather than amassing wealth which I would benefit less. It is good to inculcate more to giving than receiving and transforming partners and friends into brotherhood. A person is willing to bequeath his wealth to a cat than to human charity. People differ and each looks at different angle of understanding about life and wants, a choice to tread a path.

Unfortunately, too many examples have proved that people can go through hardships together but they can't share wealth and happiness together when they are successful.
