What is more important? Growth or sustenance?

I believe sustenance is more important than growth. This is something which was never taking care of almost all of the leading financial institutions of our country. The most important thing is not attending growth and being more competent in the marketplace. The most important thing to always take care of is SUSTENANCE.

If you cannot sustain how can you think about growing and being more competent? I would like to ask why should anybody or any organization should even try to compete with any other organization of there if they can even not sustain on their own!

There are times when people keep the growth machine aside and concentrate on sustenance, and this is the time when this is happening not only in any specific sector but a cross all sectors across the whole country of United States of America. People are learning the fact that sustenance is more important than growth.
