I do not agree that only people who earn a lot of money are successful. Some people may insist that having a lot of money is the best in capitalism society. However, self-fulfillment is more important than earning a lot of money. Also pursuing economic interest is a kind of means living modern world.
First of all, self-fulfillment is more important than earning a lot of money. Every pleasure and success in life is not connected earning money. There are a lot of things to feel happiness in our own life. Self-fulfillment is among happiness what we could accomplish. To be specific, it makes us more challenging to do something what we really want. Also, it has us think that process of works is more important than consequences of works.
Second, pursuing economic interest is a kind of means living modern world. Some people mention that if you are pool, you could not insist that money is just means in your life. However, we have already known that a lot of prominent people have created excellent works even though they are poor. In fact, a lot of money did not guarantee our happy life. Rather, it causes side effects. For instance, a person who had a lot of money has to spend a lot of time on securing his money. Also he would try to earn more money. Naturally, he does not have enough time on works what he really wants. For those reasons, only wanting economic interest is not a proper method to live successfully in the world.
In conclusion, it is not relevant that only people who earn a lot of money are successful. It is because there are important values such as self-fulfillment more than earning money. Second, money is not aims but means of for living world. |
