Perception matters in the corporate world

Two women chatting:
Woman 1: I had a wonderful evening. How was yours?

Woman 2: Oh! It was a disaster. My husband came home, ate his dinner in three minutes & fell asleep in two minutes. How was yours by the way?

Woman 1: Oh mine was amazing! My husband came home and took me out for a romantic dinner. After dinner we walked for an hour. When we came home he lit the candles around the house. It was like a fairy tale!

At the same time, their husbands are talking at work:
Husband 1: How was your evening ?

Husband 2 : Great. I came home, dinner was on the table, I ate & fell asleep. What about you?

Husband 1: It was horrible. I came home, there's no dinner, they cut the electricity because I forgot to pay the bill. So I took her out for dinner which was so expensive that didn't have money left for a cab. We walked home which took an hour & when we got home, I remembered there was no electricity so I had to light candles all over the house!

Moral: Perception varies person to person. And PRESENTATION DOES MATTER no matter what the reality is.

Bangladesh Supermarket Owners’ Association demands a uniform VAT rate

Bangladesh Supermarket Owners’ Association, otherwise known as BSOA requested NBR for implementing a uniform VAT rate for all retail super shops of the country. This request is made so that they can continue the business in full pace. The government applies a 4% VAT on sales of various supermarkets including Agora, Shwapno and Meena Bazar while authorities imposed a package VAT system to general shops according to their sizes and locations.
