      Be harmless as doves but protective like vipers. Or be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. If you want to do something good then make sure that you are well protected both personally but also non-personally. For there are those who hates good people doing good and making a fortune out of it BUT ALSO MAKING PEOPLE EVEN BETTER and it is this very act of making people even better that scares evil people for an army of EVEN BETTER PEOPLE WHO ARE AS HARMLESS AS DOVES BUT PROTECTIVE AS VIPERS will overwhelm them all in the long run.

      MANY members of my family worked for various Westinghouse companies going back to the 90's...The 1890s!. Of ALL of the Pittsburgh industrialists, Only Westinghouse and Heinz were EVER talked about in our home with reverence and NOT derision. To my MOTHER buying a GE appliance was as much of a "sin" as buying "Hunt's" ketchup. One simply did NOT do such things. (Yeah, I'm from Pittsburgh!).

      And not just that. While Westinghouse let the employee keep the patents of his inventions his name, Edison on the other stole the patent, putting in his own name on it, instead of the inventor.
      One such incident involves a man named Nikola Tesla. When Tesla arrived in America he found work with Edison's company. And Edison said that he would give Tesla 50 000 dollars if he could fix his generators. Guess what, Tesla fixed the generator, but when he arrive to collect his pay, Edison simply said: "You don't understand our humor."

    Very inspiring story. I went to Thomas Edison elementary school in Sacramento, CA. Other than him inventing the light bulb and other electricity related inventions, I didn’t know much about Edison particularly his bad side inventing the electric chair and electrifying animals as displayed in this video. I especially did NOT know about his huge rivalry against a much more noble titan in George Westinghouse - his name doesn’t even ring a bell. But taking for granted everything Business Casual has stated in this video, I have much greater admiration for Westinghouse, particularly the way he treated his workers is illustrated in the fact that they never had a strike in a very volatile workplace time period. He proved that you can be extremely successful and a decent human being at the same time. This is a very inspiring story and much credit to Business Casual for introducing this forgotten hero to a larger audience. I still won’t get the Honey app but I do love Business Casual videos.

      @ Raghav kumar - I agree. In 1887 Tesla filed for seven U.S. patents in the field of polyphase AC motors and power transmission. His motor produced alternating current and his transformers increased and decreased voltage as was needed.
      Westinghouse believing in and supporting Tesla’s inventions, installed them in Adams Station and brought electricity to Buffalo in 1896.
