It is said that to succeed in life or business, you need to judge people well. So, how can we accurately assess others? Instead of focusing solely on the individual, consider their environment. Isn’t it often said that you can gauge a person by their friends? Another useful indicator is their financial disposition—the tendency to spend rather than earn.

Organizations can falter if honesty is prioritized over a culture of respect. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
