Many people continuously mistake success with money and begin to think that they have to be rich to be successful which is defiantly not the case. Most people, when they hear success they think about how much money is in ones bank account or what objects someone has. I am here to tell you that money plays a factor in success, but not anything near as important as success in family, friends, and you life accomplishments. According to Jim Connolly who is a writer for his own marketing blog tells a story of a time when he "reflected on how it’s almost always the things that money CAN’T buy, which bring the most joy – Like great conversation with good friends. In fact, none of the key moments in [his] life happened as a result of [him] spending a ton of money".
Not to say that money makes people miserable, but Jim gives us insight to the facts that money is not the key to happiness, nor success. Jim quotes "I know people with millions in the bank, who own all the things that money can buy, who are not particularly happy with their lives. Equally, I know people who earn very little, yet have wonderful families, children they love and great friends."
- People have chosen to be rich instead of successful at times
- Money can't buy love or happiness
- if someone is rich it does not mean they will be miserable
