I always had the idea, that in order to be a good person/businessman, you need to lead by example, show inegrity and strong ethics and principles.
When I was still attending University, I had the chance to buy an apartment valued around €65k for like €40k, but did not pull the trigger because the seller clearly had no clue. It was a single mother in her late 30ies, working in a facility for mentally handicapped kids, who had just lost her husband and had to sell to pay the bills.
Of course someone else made the deal and a small fortune. Today (maybe 10 years later) this apartment would be worth around €250k.
This was - from a financial standpoint - probably the biggest mistake I ever made and I am still not sure if I did anything wrong. At what point do you think, ethics, morals or integrity need to/can be left aside?
