Last night there was not much going on in San Jose and my
friends and I decided to get together and play some Texas Hold’em Poker. There
were about eight guys all on the table. Our buy in was twenty dollars which
made me hesitant to play, but they convinced me to just play and have a good
time and maybe I can win some money. As I being a Business Management Major I
used some skills I learned in class while playing poker.
1.Business is like poker that both are like games.
-There are winners and losers in
both.
-You need a certain skills set to
come out ahead in both the poker game
and business life.
-Money is how you “keep score” in
both.
2. Lying is morally acceptable
in poker games.
3. Lying is morally acceptable in business.
At the end of the night I came out winning sixty dollars,
which I was very pleased!
You wrote a very interesting blog post. I never thought of business that way. I just point blank thought business was all about people wearing suits and ties to work every day with their briefcases. Their main goal was to make the most profit and nothing else. Since you broke down the poker game and connected it to the game of business, I found it very funny and interesting. Now I can see there is more to business than I initially thought, such as lies and deceit. My friend is a business major and it is difficult to imagine him using these “skills.”
