In Correlation With Generating Wealth"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Today I saw this neat video from a Ted Talks which was conducted by a person named Paul Piff.\u00a0 Essentially it explores the issue on whether or not as our wealth increases does that mean traits such as our morals or values decrease?\u00a0 Example, are we more prone to lie or be more rude to people?\u00a0 In this example a simple game of Monopoly was used where the game was rigged as one player was getting more money and dices than other players.\u00a0\u00a0 As you may expect, it makes the match lopsided.\u00a0 Interestingly enough, it seemed like despite them knowing this they became more arrogant and in a sense delusional as if it was their skill that resulted in success.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><object width=\"500\"

that you have to prepare yourself mentally to be wealthy and it is not as easy as it may sound.\u00a0 I think for many they simply feel invincible when they are placed in that position and with that comes with the habits of irresponsible spending for example.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, it should make you think at how many success stories out there are really just padded in an effort to sell the story of it where they have to make it sound more marketable.\u00a0 Example, one example that crossed my mind is how a person has been gloating that he makes over $30,000 a month in such a fashion where he was simply an average joe.\u00a0 In reality, he had a business that he leverages off of in terms of giving himself the necessary push and publicity where a true beginner wouldn\u2019t have that luxury.\u00a0 Understandable as the story wouldn\u2019t be as marketable.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose in many ways like with that example you do have to lie to achieve success to a certain extent in business.\u00a0 Almost feels like one of those things that a school would forbid you from doing whereas in reality that\u2019s what most successful people and businesses do.\u00a0 Of course there always are exceptions and it\u2019s nice to read stories of those who have found success without the need of going with that route.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I saw
