The business world is a dog eat dog world, but it is possible to not compromise honor and success. Guan Yu, depicted at the center of the picture was a righteous and honorable general from the three kingdoms era in China. To this day, he is worshiped for his honor and devotion to his lord, his fierce stature and unyielding spirit, and his strong sense of morality. To find his lord, he was known to have single-handedly passed 5 checkpoints slaying 6 different generals while protecting his lord’s family the whole way using his Green Dragon crescent blade. He treats his enemies, at least those that are righteous, with as much respect as his friends and refuses to take advantage of them. Yet he can afford to do this because in battle he is terribly impressive, feared amongst the most capable of men. Even in death he is revered by corporations and mafia alike as evidence that no matter what you do, there is always room for moral decisions, honor and determination. Sometimes business is bigger than just profits. In Guan Yu case, he chose his honor before the unification of ancient China on that fateful day when he let Cao Cao pass Huarong pass.
