Sample

I don’t agree with his opinion. I have had many different jobs in my life and
the most important factor has always been money. For money, people get up
earlier, work out harder, and are able to do the impossible. You need money
if you want to take care of your family. When I am looking for a job, I always
think about the salary first. I have had many different jobs where the pay has
been good and the work has been repetitive and monotonous. This is not a
problem for me. I am good at learning anything. I just need the right
incentive. In my case, this incentive is money.
 My script

I agree with his opinion, organizations that are born with a purpose other
than money, generate a virtuous circle that allows them to grow
economically, innovate and improve the quality of life of people.
When Bill Gates created Microsoft his purpose was not to be the richest man
in the world, but to streamline the work of millions of people with a
technological development. Jack Dorsy, co-founder of Twitter, intended that
people could communicate their ideas and share information without having
to pay for it. Today he says he is more concerned with how he contributes to
the solution of the great diseases of the contemporary world than to continue
to increase his immense fortune.

In Colombia it is also possible to see companies with noble purposes

working under the model of conscious capitalism. The Women's Bank is a
clear example, it arose with the purpose that the women of the lower strata
could have access to the credit through an accompaniment of the bank to be
able to know and to improve the scheme under which they obtain their
resources. The bank's advisors go to marginalized neighborhoods and teach
these women that they mostly live on the profits made in small stores, how to
make an accounting balance, how to build their inventory, how to create their
P & L ), In addition to knowing his family and his environment with absolute
commitment and commitment.

The Colombian company Crepes & Waffles, created by Mrs. Beatriz

Fernández and her husband, began its operation in 1980 with the purpose of
serving with love and delighting people with different dishes at a reasonable
cost, which were attended by women, in their Majority of heads of family, for
being she carriers of love, commitment and integrity. Its growth has been
exponential with development policies and practices of Corporate Social
Responsibility that are evident.

Everything begins in 1977, when Alfredo Hoyos Mazuera and Liliana

Restrepo inaugurate the first FRISBY in Pereira, causing a sensation not
only because of the different taste of the chicken that until now had not been
marketed but because of its model of company that since its birth spoke of
the Social responsibility with all the stakeholders of the organization.
Currently the company has a high commitment with the community of
Risaralda and founded and maintains the Institute Technological Institute
Dosquebradas that operates in the department.

A noble spirit enlarges the smaller man
