Well, money is cruel. It's the money, we could lose a friend. Thanks to our friends, we can also lose everything: lives and honor. But, how can we be patient in facing slander this money?
I've set up an NGO with friends. NGOs are successful in obtaining funds from foreign institutions. If no one remembers, one year had received a grand samapai USD 1.5 M. This is for the advocacy project budget or the budget in some areas. Because there are less satisfied, then some staff at the agency, eventually resigned, and establish new institutions.
In the new institution, originally running fine. Desperate to kinship, the period of leadership was rotated every two years. Until the second period, collision has occurred. And, peak during the third period of leadership, there was a misunderstanding which was also not separated from the matter of money. Not the problem of idealism. Nor is the problem of division of labor. Actually there are more who feel their income is reduced and another. Anyway, the Constitution (the edges are money).
I am not wanting to be involved in the conflict, and also because of my busyness, chose to retreat. With hope after I resigned, there was a reconciliation. Let it all finished. Apparently getting worse. Two people came out from the relationship increasingly strained.
Well, here I saw a colleague who has tremendous patience. The woman, we call it Heroine. He was single, powerful stance, assertive, and tend to be rigid. As a result of that attitude, he despised his friends.
He remained rigid. The grip he is the rule. As long as not violating the rules of the organization, she defended furiously. So, in addition despised his friends, his men were still others try to fish in muddy water. "I sir, do you continue to just run the rules," he said.
Rice has become porridge. And, finally repeat history. Again, the split occurred because of money. "Actually, do not want this dear sir. I want to be like before, "said our friend. His attitude had received support from one of my senior friends. "We're not allowed to repeat the first incident," said the friend who had just become a candidate for the legislature.
Could no longer be saved. Finally, separation occurs. From here, do not feel like Heroine wins. He even sad. He felt lost friends, friends who have struggled in the difficult period. However, they actually fight when the money was a lot. And, due to the perceived now, after the fight that eventually all lose vitality, loss of spirit, and finally institutions continues to decrease performance. Two friends who left the agency also dim. So true the old saying goes, every argument, "The loser into ash, which won a charcoal." Both parties did a whole becomes a log.
Similar story happened my other friends. Call it Budiman. He never got a job from a foreign company worth more than $ 1 M. Because he remembered a friend who needs money, and friends that have the ability, then he invited friends that we call him Efik. When work is finished, it suddenly feels Efix have service, it was he who got the job and all could be because of him. He asked for the 40% of the profits.
Budiman including those that match the name. Instead of losing a friend, he finally relented. And give what is asked. Budiman also still maintain friendships. "I just do not want to bring work to him again," he said. The rest, he was not hurt. Nor grudge. He respected the attitude of Efik. According to Budiman, one lesson that can not be overlooked in business must remain firmly. even with his own friends. "I do not think, yes legal friends of friends. Business is business turned out to be powerful. Unfortunately, I did not do from the beginning, "he said.
That Budiman. He did not give up for good invite friends do various jobs. And, there is also a friend who betrayed like Efix. All the gentleman agreement, a mess because a friend who invited it to deny a commitment. Budiman still do not hate friends who disappoint him. To my knowledge, Budiman now prefer to give jobs to people who truly professional. No longer a friend. "The important result is good. Clients not disappointed, "said Budiman. If forced to give jobs to friends, he will give black and white agreement. "System can not friendship anymore," he said.
I agree with Budiman. Rather than fight over money, it's more expensive price of a friend than anything. They say the enemy one is excessive. But, a friend of a thousand remain still lacking. I remember the words Budiman. "Money can be found, but friends can not be bought," he said.
