TO KNOW WHEN TO SAY “IT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS” - Mark mc Cormack

INTRODUCTION:
Mark mc Cormack (1930-2003) was the founder and CEO of the sports management conglomerate international management group which represents such celebrities as tiger woods, Andre Agassi and Venus and Serena Williams.

According to the author, when people want to know about our personal life or others money matters we should say, “it’s none of your business” we
can thus avoid many awaked situations. There was an executive in the authors company.

He always wanted to know everything about others but he was harmless. But it is not easy to judge weather our curiosity is harmful or not.
“I’ve Always ………Because People can’t say
It’s none of your business”
CURIOUSITY OF THE WRITER:
The author tells an incident to prove his point about money matters. The author’s company arranged for a text writer at a reasonable fee. The text writer wanted to know about the illustrator’s fee. He was trying to know about other’s money matters. The publisher did not like this question put by the author’s agent. The agent should have told the writer “ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS”

We should try to keep professional and personal affairs separate .In the work place, out of friendship; people want to know about others personal life. There are many dangers giving out such information.

Once the author met the CEO of a company .Two of his staffers were with him. In the presence of others, the CEO criticised one of the staffers .He said he was spending his time talking to his girl friend over the phone..

The CEO misused the trust of the staffers. If they had kept their personal matters and professional matters separate, they could have avoided the embarrassing situation.
