Motives Quote by Ciara
“You can really think a person has your back when their purpose or their intentions are, you know, could really just be, their motives, you know, could really be more so just business-driven, you know, and not to take things too personal. It's very important. Understanding a situation, if it's in business, you understand it, you will treat it that way. But if you start to be emotional about it and take things personally, then you'll react that way and my advice is definitely just to really be aware. Keep your eyes open and to be careful about trusting everyone.”
