affordable

All her talks are very sweet but is it affordable to the common man? From the clients list, she is affordable only by corporates. You should make things affordable by every common man atleast for his children. Thats to be motive and goal. Profit is secondary.

balas, bang

She is doing a business, not social service. There are poor children not getting 3 meals a day, so if someone want to do social service, do something for them - not make cheap chocolates for middle class.

For middle class people, there are enough cheap chocolates in the market anyway. Handmade chocolates cant complete with mass produced chocolates in price, so just leave them as entreprenuers and see if you can get inspired from their success.

And stop being a hypocrite, there is nothing wrong with doing a business and making profits. What society needs is businesses that run based on ethics, not for charity.

Very well said Zeng, some people are so jealous of success of people, that they try to deman them at every instance.

I personally, try to take inspiration from such stories.

Agree with Zeng. We have lots of hypocrites always sheding crocodile tears for the poor. We have a negative aproach to people entering into business and entrepreneureship. Business people do business to make profit and through that thry generate employment for people and tax money for government. The tax money is used for social services too. So leave those entrepreneures alone please. Those crying for the poor..how much do they part with their money for the poor? When they buy clothes or eat at a fancy restaurent, do they think about the poor?
