Winner’s Wisdom

Here in the 21st century, we live our lives based on contracts written in an obscure language known as legalese. We may have agreed with a friend, relative, or colleague to enter into a transaction that seems totally clear and straightforward, but due to the litigious nature of our culture, we are compelled to get a written contract. What was a simple understanding between two people of goodwill now involves each of them retaining a highpried attorney to put their agreement into legalese which neither can understand. While I recognize that contracts may be a necessary evil in the world in which we live, we need to understand their limitations and shortcomings., A contract is only as good as the word and honor of the parties involved. I am very pleased to have been in a multitude of businesses for four decades and have never sued anyone nor been sued. Furthermore, I am proud that there’s no one I have done business with in the past that I couldn’t do business with again.
