So are you Materialistic or Selfless??



Tony Montana

So are you Materialistic or Selfless?? Well, honesty speaking, it all depends on whom you ask?

For Tony Montana [Al Pacino] , from Oliver Stone's 1983 American epic crime drama film Scarface or Lil' Wayne[according to his lyrics anyway], Young Money CEO & Cash Money Guru, the craven for "Money, Power & Beautiful Women" are characteristics of Materialism. 

Tony Dungy

However, on the opposite end of the spectrum Coach Tony Dungy, former Colts Super Bowl winning coach & current NBC football analysis, or Mark Merrill, founder of All- Pro Dad [the fatherhood program of Family First, non-profit organization based in Tampa, Florida], the emphasis of "God, Family & Friends" are characteristics of a Selfless person .

Whichever side you choose, I hope you're able to live with your devotion by understanding both pros & cons of your preferred side.

For the Materialistic person, one might live like a King/Queen with their lavish life style ; A lifestyle free of debt, surround by powerful acquaintances & adored by beautiful women... yet often paranoid by the many stressers of fame which are phony friends, constant attention from people with shadowy agendas & harassment from the media...

..However..

For the Selflish person....one might earn the "key to the city" from excelling in humanitarian events with spotless class, advancement at a accelerated pace in his/her career & land nearly any "legal" job America from having plausible references.....yet not live as lavishly & possibly up to their neck in debt, frowned upon/overlooked by today's materialistic society; hardly ever recognized for their accomplishments...

So are you Materialistic: a person fueled by & defines success by money/power/fame or Selfless: a person fueled by God/ Family/Friends. Are you happy with your lifestyle & if so why or why not???

Like many other things in life, there isn't necessarily a right or wrong, good or bad, answer because they both have there fair share of advantages & disadvantages. Some people were raised with a silver spoon in their mouths, while others were raised with a rusty fork.

Whichever side you choose....choose wisely because, true we aren't able to control the situation we were born in, but we are able to dictate the type of lifestyle we live in now. We might not have the same resources, but we are able to surround ourselves with either positive or troublesome friends. So always remember that THE DECISIONS YOU MAKE NOW..will last a LIFETIME.... so be smart & have no regrets!!!!
