Do you believe in this saying, If you want to be successful in the business world or life , you got to learn how to milk the system or pimp the system?

I have a lot of experience across the spectrum in this. I'm old and wrinkled now, so I know what I'm talking about.
Whatever you do requires time and energy. When you find some level of reward by pimping the system, you will look back and say that it took as much effort as doing something else. Something more worthwhile from which you may have gotten more satisfaction.
Here's why: The immediate gain from pimping the system is great, but the extra energy expended is for covering your backside. This is very taxing on your system, and you'll always wonder if you've left yourself vulnerable in some way.
When you do what you love, all your energy is expended in a positive way. You'll possibly get about the same reward as pimping, but you'll get more satisfaction in life.
This, my friend, is priceless...

This is not a business question. This is a question that should be in the category of Etiquette, or Philosophy.
No I don't think you should milk or pimp the system. It is dishonest, a has no moral standing. If you want to be successful in business your good name is your best asset to succeed.
Word of mouth is your best advertisement.

No, no, no. It is God who gives the increase, not man. If you can't make an honest living, you've only cheated yourself. In most cases milking the system or pimping the system is nothing less than cheating people to get ahead. Every businessman must lay down at night to get his rest. An honest man can sleep like a baby. A thief will toss and turn all night long. Please God, not man.
