- Being “all in” or “all out” are two unproductive ways of finding a work-life balance in a family business.
- Indeed, they can cause problems when it comes to succession or when boundaries cut across customer needs or reduce operational efficiencies.
- Neither alternative allows the family member room to sculpt a satisfying role in the family business system.
- Of course, finding a balance is difficult in a publicly-traded company, too, but in a family business the boundary between professional and personal lives is often fuzzy.

- Smart businessmen aren't interested in putting their efforts into business plans dependant on laws which, not only haven't been passed yet, but haven't even been introduced.
- Smart Congressmen aren't interested in putting their efforts into introducing legislation to create industries that businessmen aren't even talking about yet.
- It would make a huge difference if someone capable of operating at that level, such as a really big investor or a Fortune 500 company, took the time to think carefully about the economics and realized how profitable owning land on the Moon could be and talked of the necessary legal eco-system.
- Of course, the Congress would give the idea much more credibility if they heard someone representing Boeing or Lockheed tell them that passing a land claims recognition law would lead to a serious privately funded space development effort but the problem, unfortunately, has been like the classic "which comes first: the chicken or the egg?"
Identify the most appropriate summary for the paragraph.
Of all the uncertainties in our halting economic recovery, the housing market may be the most confusing of all. At times, real estate seems to be in the early stages of a severe double dip. Home sales plunged in July, and some analysts are now predicting that the market will struggle for years, if not decades. Others argue that the worst is over. As Karl Case, the eminent real estate economist, recently wrote, “Buying a house now can make a lot of sense.” I can’t claim to clear up all the uncertainty. But I do want to suggest a framework for figuring out whether you lean bearish or less bearish: do you believe that housing is a luxury good and that societies spend more on it as they get richer?
Identify the most appropriate summary for the paragraph.
The man of science knows, in one aspect, that the world is not merely what it appears to be to our senses; he knows that earth and water are really the play of forces that manifest themselves to us as earth and water—how, we can but partially apprehend. Likewise the man who has his spiritual eyes open knows that the ultimate truth about earth and water lies in our apprehension of the eternal will which works in time and takes shape in the forces we realise under those aspects. This is not mere knowledge, as science is, but it is a preception of the soul by the soul. This does not lead us to power, as knowledge does, but it gives us joy, which is the product of the union of kindred things. The man whose acquaintance with the world does not lead him deeper than science leads him, will never understand what it is that the man with the spiritual vision finds in these natural phenomena. The water does not merely cleanse his limbs, but it purifies his heart; for it touches his soul. The earth does not merely hold his body, but it gladdens his mind; for its contact is more than a physical contact—it is a living presence.
Identify the most appropriate summary for the paragraph.
The year 2013 was one of the ten hottest on record. So was 2010. So were 2009, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2003, 2002, and 1998. Last year, with its polar vortex and biting winter, seemed to bring relief to North America. Except it also brought temperatures of over 120ºF to Australia, massive flooding to Malaysia, and the third harrowing year of drought to California. As it turns out, 2014 was the hottest single year since meteorologists started measuring in 1850. By now, we’ve raised the average global temperature a little less than one degree Celsius since the beginning of the industrial revolution. The best predictions suggest that we will raise it somewhere between four and six degrees by 2100. With the heat will also come side effects: fiercer and more frequent storms, droughts, acidifying oceans, melting glaciers, and the loss of species. And the bad news is, that’s not even the bad news. Each drought, each megastorm, each scorching summer puts a strain on the complex systems that provide us with water, food, and power and that keep disease and disorder at bay. These systems can often endure a single crisis—one Sandy, one Katrina. The problem is what happens when the Sandys and Katrinas start coming back to back, piling up on each other. That’s when the money runs out, the electricity goes off, and everyone starts wondering where to find water. If true catastrophe arrives, it will not come gradually but, as the historian Nils Gilman writes, “as a series of radical discontinuities—a series of bewildering ‘oh shit’ events.” Welcome to the future. Oh shit.

- ‘What kind of materials?’ The bank officer looked puzzled, as if this were some sort of new game whose rules he was not familiar with. He let me speak out of common respect for a University department head, but he was clearly lost.
- ‘What can I do for you, sir?’
- The Chittagong University branch of the Janata Bank was housed in a single square room. The manager, sitting at the back to the left, under a ceiling fan, greeted me politely and invited me to sit down.
- ‘Well, some make bamboo stools; others weave mats, or drive a rickshaw.... If they borrowed from a bank at commercial rates, they could sell their products on the open market and make a decent profit that would allow them to live.
- ‘The last time I borrowed from you was to finance the Three-Share Programme. Now I have a new proposal. I want you to lend money to the poor people in Jobra. The amount involved is very small. I have already-done it myself. I have lent $27 to forty-two people. There will be many more poor people who will need money. They need this money to carry on their work, to buy raw materials and supplies.’

- They simply followed the trail blazed by mainstream mortgage lenders in the 1980s.
- But that did not worry the subprime lenders.
- As a business model subprime lending worked beautifully – as long as interest rates stayed low, as long as people kept their jobs and as long as real estate prices continued to rise.
- Instead of putting their own money at risk, they pocketed fat commissions on signature of the original loan contracts and then resold their loans in bulk to Wall Street banks.
- Of course, such conditions could not be relied upon to last, least of all in a city like Detroit.
