Greed is Good

Last night i was watching Wallstreet and was thinking about the famous quote made by Mr. Michael Douglas in the movie.

"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures, the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge, has marked the upward surge of mankind and greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the U.S.A"

We all have a greed inside us to learn more, to earn more.

Greed many a times is considered a source of evil which is the cause of sins. However, have we ever given a thought that greed can be good too.

Think about an Employee for whom greed can work as an incentive to work hard.

Greed to earn more can help an individual to start a business, or invest in a company. Greed can also help to work much harder towards your goals.

People feel that greed helps selfish reaons however it also helps people around us.

Take an example of all the entrepreneur. Arent they greedy. doesn any person wanna see their investments fetching them awesome returns. If enterpreneurs wouldn have been greedy to expand where would the new jobs generate from.

I feel Greed is good not just for your own life but for others as well. Even Mother Teresa was greedy — she had an greed to serve the poor.

When we see disasters happening around us we blame it on greed. However thats not true. The problem is not that we’re too greedy, it’s that we’re not greedy enough.

We should stop putting ourself last and sacrificing our own goals and dreams so that someone else achieves theirs.
