The Mormon way of business
The Mormons have produced a striking number of successful businesspeople

Mormons ( /ˈmɔrmənz/) are a religious and cultural group related to Mormonism, the principal branch of the Latter Day Saint movement, which began with the visions of Joseph Smith in upstate New York during the 1820s. After Smith's death in 1844 the Mormons followed Brigham Young to what would become the Utah Territory. Today a vast majority of Mormons are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) while a minority are members of other churches. (Wikipedia)

Why I picked up:
I met two young Mormons in Inokashira park when I was a student. They are clean-cut and neatly dressed and friendly. At first I thought they are travelers or students but a friend told me they are Mormons and explain their missionary work. I am interested in their way of living at that time.
