Greed

posted by ryan

Greed is an excessive desire for more of anything especially for money. It goes two ways in positive and negative.

Negative is when people start betting and engage in gambling removing the control and give up the rights to increasing their percentage of success to grow money and betting it on gambling which will snowball into numerous behaviors and repercussions which leads to unhappiness, arguments, broken family and even lost of lives.

Positive is when people who have tasted a bit of success now starts to find ways to succeed on a bigger scale to increase their profits, it is the greed that drives successful people to succeed even more than their mentors and people who coached them.

Like the Chinese saying 长江后浪推前浪。Whereby teachers/mentors will teach students whatever they know to help their students succeed, which is similar to a wave will not be as strong without the push of the previous wave to reach further in shore on the beach.

Greed is a double edge sword; learn to control your greed to maximize the potential and possibility which it will bring to you. Be the sword owner with the sword in your hand assisting you to break open new areas for growth and not allowing the sword to slip from your hand and end up being hurt by your own sword.
