QUOTE : Focus goals on your capabilities, not material wealth. You live in a consumer society geared to create an ever-present need to consume and accumulate more. Gauging yourself by the possessions of others will never leave you satisfied. There is always something new to buy. Our culture comes with designated advertising breaks to make sure to poke at you that you need more stuff. At its core, advertising is telling you to be unsatisfied with everything except the very thing they are selling you. Material wealth can be taken away at any moment. A rich man and a useful man can both be made bankrupt, but who will be drafted first in a moment of crisis when<br />all the money is gone? The useful man.
