The following is a contribution by Choon Heng titled THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

The difference between business and politics:

In business, if you fail, you can always succeed elsewhere.
In politics, if you fail, you will be succeeded.
In business, if you loose money, you can always gain later.
In politics, if you loose money, your opponent will gain support.
In business, when scandalous headlines happen, your company prosper.
In politics, when scandalous headlines happen, your party will topple.
In business, if you made mistakes, you have to compensate to the max.
In politics, if you made mistakes, you proposed compassionate tax.
In business, the public accepts your justifications if it makes them money.
In politics, the public accepts your resignation to make them happy.
In business, people forgive and forget your past.
In politics, people give all to track down your past.
In business, nobody is above you when you made a decision.
In politics, everybody is over you when you made a statement.
In business, retirement plans means coming back as an advisor.
In politics, retirement plans means surrendering to your adversary.
