The Secret to Working in a Corrupt Country.

After a long day of struggling with some government office, a colleague taught me this saying:

.گردن نرم را شمشیر نمی برد

"A sword can't cut a soft neck."

According to Transparency International, Afghanistan is the most corrupt country in the world. Doing business means finding ethical ways to deal with this. How? Have a soft neck.

Be patient.
Plan ahead.
Find the right way, before you're forced into the only way.
