Just another comment on the AMWAY corporation.
The president and chairman of the board both
happen to be Dutch Calvinists. They're
either members of the Christian Reformed Church (CRC)
or the Reformed Church of America (RCA) or
something equally similar.
(With last names like Van Andel and DeVos, how could
they not be Dutch Calvinists?)
 
As is evident, they're both great business men.
Their success and philosophy may have a lot to do with the
Calvinist work ethic.
Most of us who were raised in the CRC have this
work ethic unconciously drilled into us.
(OOPS, did I let it slip out that I'm a Calvinist?)
(You'd never guess it with a last name like Smith)

I don't want to spend net time on the Calvinist work
ethic. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to tell 
my view.
