(The word "salary" is even related to the Latin for "salt.")
Measure yourself as a manager Go for gold
Going for gold; what does it mean and what is your ‘gold’? You can never achieve anything lasting that is not in your nature. You cannot achieve anything that you have not a natural inclination for, with of course the appropriate mental and physical attributes. A gold medal is nothing without self worth – think of the Olympic athletes, or Tour de France cyclists who cheated, who took performance enhancing drugs, to achieve gold. Gold at any cost is not worth it. Such an attitude demeans the perpetrators and will not allow them to grow as human beings to reach their full natural potential – high, low or indifferent.

Freebie Marketing Case Study - Standard Oil In China
The case of Standard Oil in China is an interesting one, particularly from the perspective of freebie marketing. Standard Oil had a monopoly in the American market, and was looking to expand its business by branching out into the Chinese market. Standard Oil's owner, John D.

By doing so, they in essence created a market for their oil in China. The company most certainly lost money at the outset by giving lamps away for free or for less than they were worth, but they more than made up for the lost revenue once Chinese customers began purchasing oil for these lamps from Standard Oil. China went on to become Standard Oil's largest market in Asia.
