"الصداقة المبنية على الأعمال أفضل من الأعمال المبنية على الصداقة"
— John D. Rockefeller
Simplified Meaning:
When you build a friendship because of a business connection, it can be stronger and more reliable. This is because both people have clear goals and mutual benefits, so they work hard to keep the relationship healthy. For example, imagine two coworkers who start a friendship because they collaborate well on projects. They know how to communicate and solve problems together, making their bond solid. On the other hand, starting a business based on an existing friendship might lead to problems. Friends may not set clear boundaries or take the business as seriously, leading to conflicts. For instance, if two friends decide to open a restaurant without discussing professional expectations, they might argue about responsibilities or money later on. By keeping business and friendship separate, the relationships in both can be more successful.
