Are Soft-hearted People Handicapped In Business? You Have Heard A Businessman Say Of Someone Else, He's All Right, But He's Too Soft-hearted.... To Be Soft-hearted May Be Handicapping, In A Sense. But On The Whole, A Soft Heart Is To Be Preferred To A Hard Heart. Hard-hearted, Severe, Dominating Giants Sometimes Manage To Get Further And To Amass More Money.
