Money, Money, Money or No Money?

This world is infuriated and consumed by the incessantly endless need for more money. 
Everything we do - be it from what we study to the people we befriend, its all about money. 
Or is it not? 

There can only be 1 master in your life. God or Money? 


Think of a person who's master is Money. 
Now, think of a person who's master is God. 
See the difference? 

The thing is, we all need money to survive and that's a fact. The more crucial question to ask is, what does 'survive' mean to you?
To some people, survive means to have a swimming pool in their own house, eat a 5 course meal for lunch and a 7 course for dinner.
To others, it simply means being able to afford to buy enough rice and potatoes to feed their family.

Bud Fox: How much is enough?
Gordon Gekko: It's not a question of enough, pal. It's a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another. 
- taken from the movie Wall Street.  

Have you watched Wall Street?
If you haven't, you should - even if you don't understand all the stock market terms they use.
It's a beautiful story that depicts 2 different lives - one ruled by Money and the other not by Money (not exactly God la but oh well).

Head to the cinemas and watch the movie!
