Wasting Valuable Wisdom

When Businessman Philanthropist (BP) entered into a venture with Shrewd Host (SH), he was not prepared for the eventual reaction of SH later on. The partnership of BP and SH aimed to create a landmark that would attract investors in an already saturated yet lucrative area. Initially, the public thought that the project was going to be funded solely by SH, and that idea raised a lot of eyebrows at the actual amount SH was earning then. After a few months, the name of BP cropped up, and thus, people were relieved as SH was with someone who knew the business.

Based on their life stories, BP and SH started from the lowest ranks and through dedication and hard work, they managed to amass their fortune. Soon, BP became a well-respected personality in high profile fields, and in the process, he got involved in showbiz. Meanwhile, SH has been in the business for a time, and he was a virtual unknown until the stations started noticing his talent and rapport with the audience. Thus, with a blink, SH was plummeted into the limelight, which resulted in his accumulation of fame and undisclosed finances.

As their project began, BP became uneasy with the idea that SH allegedly has an addiction to a vice that might affect their venture. Thus, BP attempted to talk to SH about the said addiction and make him stop. As a concerned partner and respected personality, BP was in the position to talk some sense into SH, or so he thought.

After giving his advice, BP was unprepared for the reaction of SH. SH replied that he was not using the money of BP, so BP does not have the right to tell him what to do. Remaining the gentleman that he is, BP remained calm at the tactless and disrespectful reaction of SH. BP left, but vowed to never ever speak to SH again. On hindsight, people are wondering what made BP agree to do business with SH when he has the resources to finish their project on his own. However, since BP has been enmeshed in the business and has made an empire out of it, he probably knew that SH could add mileage to the publicity of their project and expand their clientele.
