You're Fired












The master bathroom boasts a bidet for ladies, deluxe vanity lighting, a circular shower and a gold-plated sink. The aircraft's seatbelt buckles are also gold plated.

Aren't you impressed by now at Trump's supposedly old 1968 Boeing 727 plane? It can easily pass of as being one of the luxurious planes we have today !

But, I am not going to sell the Trump's plane today. What I want to discuss is a more salient issue. I have read many management books and they have all unanimously agreed that the great CEOs are all thrifty and low-profiled in their own ways. Even though they earn a gargantuan amount of money, their spendings are well-focused and business-based. They rarely take planes and they stay in normal bungalows with no regal living rooms or an ethereal garden.

Am I trying to say that Donald Trump is not a great CEO? That is not my point because he has built up empires after empires of housing and hotels and we can all see the stupendous results he has delivered time after time.

However, what's the point of having gold-plated seat belts? Is it necessary to have gold sinks? Why do you even need those fanciful glasswares which are so fragile and vulnerable on the plane per se? Is it just to flaunt your properties and your social status? Well, if you are really good, you shouldn't be so insecure about yourself.

Alot of us think that we are impeccable and flawless but our ostentacious behavior and actions come across as childish acts in an attempt to steal attention. After all the rantings and castigation at the employees on cost-saving, these CEOs are actually living lavishly behind the scene while the employees suffer and scrutinize every single costings just to save the company. Is it really worth it?

All in all, I just want to say that it is really not necessary to go the high-style of living if you are not going to utilise every single bit of it effectively. It will simply be a waste of money that will otherwise be well spent.



Trump is upgrading to a larger plane, and "Mr. Trump simply doesn't need two [planes]," said George Sorial, managing director of international development and assistant general counsel at Trump Organization.

Well at least he's not having 2 planes, that's something good to hear after seeing all the pointless spendings he has made on this old plane.
