Non-profit organizations are not in business to make a profit. This simple but significant issue points to the absence of profits or losses in the non-profit world--a major difference as compared with the for-profit firms.
Dr. Seuss had no children and, despite authoring children's books, he was neither fond of nor comfortable around those of others. He would brag about a daughter, Chrysanthemum-Pearl, but she was a work of fiction.
Â«Attallah, our oldest daughter, was born in November 1958. She's named for Attilah the Hun (he sacked Rome). Shortly after Attallah came, we moved to our present seven-room house in an all-black section of Queens, Long Island. Another girl, Qubilah (named after Qubilah Khan) was born on Christmas Day of 1960. Then, Ilyasah (Ilyas is Arabic for Elijah) was born in July 1962. And in 1964 our fourth daughter, Amilah, arrived. I guess by now I will say I love Betty.
