Why are some people go getters and others go nowhere? The problems with a materialistic society have already become clear but why so many under achieving and non working people? What has work become other than a game to make money for many people? A game that you will never win because there are no "winners". There are lots of losers however in the way they make money but I won't go there. Yes free market capitalism should work but it takes a good work ethic. Do most of the people you know have good, fair and honest ways of making money in America?
You can have a great work ethic while working at McDonalds. You can also have a great work ethic while working at a plastic surgeon or CEO. Guess which one is going to "win" at the end of the year?
Nuff said.
The value of a work ethic is mostly determined based upon how it is being utilized, and where.
Success is achieving the goal by NOT working HARD.
That sounds like it would be the slogan for my generation ... Except, the people who say this type of thing are far too often the types who are just not interested in working hard. At least in my experience anyways.
By the original poll, i have to assume u believe being unethical achieves that goal.
Ethical, schmethical. It's either legal or it isn't. (One of my favorite google searches is "Perfectly Legal".)
However, just because a person makes money and doesn't work hard doesn't mean he is dishonest.
Some of us work smarter, not harder, and make money.
Working hard isn't a virtue. Anybody can "work hard". Why is that noble?
I love listening to the chumps at work who "brag" about all the unpaid overtime they performed over the weekend or in the evenings. I hope they get a lot out of the extra 0.069% raise or the "Award of Merit" presented to them at the monthly Team Meeting.

And it's the A students who end up working for the C students.

Who cares about people who go nowhere. Let them be losers. I'll step over them on my way to success.
