I think that when choosing a career your family and your dreams are more important than
money and what most people consider as success. My Grandfather, who was first on
Guadalcanal during WWII told me that he considered that success is measured by the
number of people that you have convinced to live a peaceful life. Success is not about
making money or having more than another person does. That kind of pursuit is fruitless.
The American soldiers on Guadalcanal were a success because they treated the Islanders
and their Enemy, the Japanese, in a good manner. Therefore the Islanders actually helped
the American Soldiers. The Japanese soldiers that assumed that the American Soldiers
would kill them when captured, found out after they were captured the American Soldiers
treated them with great respect. Since they were emaciated and abandoned by the other
Japanese they were fed and clothed and often assisted the Americans in defeating the
Japanese by providing them with accurate information.
A person can have a happy life and be utterly poor. Look at me for example. I am poor in
the Eyes of man. However, many people think that I am rich because I have a rich
investment in my family.
Also, when others are drinking, smoking, and doing drugs, all of that creates expenses
that sends a person into poverty in many ways, including financial. Saving money often
makes a person financially wealthy. Wealth is always by comparison. In relation to
another person. A person may have a nice car but they have had to go into debt to get it.
