American way of life is extremely self centered and selfish but they speak great philosophical words in their speech. This is speak something and do exactly the opposite. Somehow make huge amount of money is the only actual goal but the american society expects you to spend that money in show off and publicized charity and if you do not indulge in these two things they will consider you abnormal. You cannot trust any of these ivy school fellows for a penny, they are like our models who speak about changing the whole world when they win the crown but actually end up dancing in movies for money. You speak to any of these ivy league fellows and they will tell you how they plan to change the world for better using their stylish words but they are the ones who will rob you off everything at the first opportunity. If you interact with them on daily basis you will know how self centered and cunning they are.

I pretty much agree with what "ar" said if not 100% at least 95%. I have personal experience. IIMs or Ivy League guys go with money as first priority whether it is business or Social business (so called Social enterprise?). Yes it is a must and must for sustainability and also for the decent living and good encouragement of such persons/entrepreneurs. But, in the process enterprises of such persons end up in the hands of unscrupulous and cr-mi-n-al characters (again products of institutions like IIMs) and the Original social entrepreneur will just ignore (not only ignore but encourages such characters - otherwise his so called social enterprise will get closed/shut its shop for want of business) and becomes emotionally bl-ac-kma-il-ed and trapped by such chief operating officers of such social enterprises. So no one should get entrapped by philosophical thoughts of so called top persons who got IIMs or Harvard or Stanford or Princeton admission or earned degrees from there. Here I will give a small example. One such Social enterprise has lo-o-t-e-d Backward Regions Grant fund as a designated TSI (allocated for District Plans preparation through Gram Sabhas - By appointing TSI) with full knowledge of its CEO who is an IIM and the Chief who is much - much more than that.. In the process the life of BRGF which is Gram Sabha, participatory planning and empowerment has been just made jokers.
