The mission with Apple is different than Commodore USA. We know there is a dead end with Apple. Apple only cares about their products and their future unless they have an agreement with other companies.
The mission with Commodore USA is they are carrying on the Commodore name and pseudo-brand. In some ways, the Amiga community is trying to be optimistic and hope to see if they can one day do something for us. The bottom line was that I wanted the better grade so I was willing to be nice to get it.
If you make enemies, what will they do for you? If you try to stay on course but stay respectful, it can't hurt the community. The old adage says you can attract more flies with honey than vinegar. I've found in life that you might need people to help you so it is better to stay positive than negative. I found in my classes that if we were upbeat and positive then the teacher was upbeat and positive towards us but if we were hard to manage, negative or moody, the teacher took it out on us.
In Business, it is important to keep relationships because they want to keep that salesman coming and they want the other company to always sell to us. Companies get away with murder but we let them because it is about business. It is about money and less about morals with businesses.
If you want respect in life, you have to give it. A lot of people see aggression and don't care who is wrong or right but they will hold it against you and they have power. It is always good to have friends but it doesn't help to have enemies and if you want to live in a better and safer world, you have to have gentleness and respect. If you don't have gentleness, you won't get respect.
