Interestingly enough they all of a sudden started to be a little more generous to people and the funny thing was everyone took that as a negative as they suspected there was an anterior motive for it.<\/p>\n<p>It turned out that the industry they were in was slowing down globally and so they were trying to expand into different things which meant they were not necessarily the biggest anymore in regards to these new areas.  So naturally it&#8217;s one of those situations where they want to get on the good side of those who do have the power.  It would seem too that if they even attempt to do anything nice at this rate, regardless if it was genuine, people will automatically assume the worst in terms of intent based on their history.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I can see how difficult it can be for people who have say the wealth and power where they easily forget that eventually you will need help from others again and so it isn&#8217;t a good idea to only be nice to people when you want something from them.  At the same time this is like one of those thing that can be true when it comes to everything and that you have learned as a child I say.  Of course there is a difference in terms of being generous and a sucker I guess you can say where it can easily be the other way around where when you have money people will just act nice to you to get what they want.  Like always that is where due diligence and all comes in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was kind of interesting as I saw a debate how there was this organization that for years have pretty much dominated a particular industry to the point that they had no competition and would appear that they could care less if say that mom and pop store went bankrupt.
