Sometimes the wisdom served up in business is as deep as a fortune cookie. The big boss has swapped consulting reports for a bowl of fortune cookies marked “Strategic Guidance.” Around the mahogany table, VPs gingerly crack open cookies instead of taking notes.
One puzzled manager unfurls a slip: “Work 25/8 for success.”
Another reads theirs: “Always be closing… your eyes to doubt.”
They exchange raised eyebrows and forced smiles, as if trying to decipher a koan. The absurdity is lost on the guru-like consultant who brought these “ancient business wisdom” cookies to the meeting, now nodding sagely as if truth itself just dropped from the heavens (or the bakery).
This is hustle culture distilled into bite-sized quotes – digestible, motivational, and mostly nonsense!
