Many may ask: If a person is poor (does not have much possessions or wealth), is it okay to be greedy / go after more without much thought of contentment? What is your answer?

“One of the Enemy's most effective strategies is to get you to focus on what you don't have, what you used to have, or what someone else has that you wish you had. He does this to keep you from looking around and asking, 'God, what can You do through what I have?'

Others may use your desire for more against you. Do not let them! Be grateful for what you have.

The desire for more and more is dangerous.....

From the song 'I Want It All' featured in the movie 'High School Musical 3':

Don't you see that bigger is better,
And better is bigger,
A little bit is never enough.
I want it all,
The fame and the fortune and more...

"To want something desperately, to be tested, to feel that life will be impossible if the object of one's desires is not achieved, is always dangerous for the soul. Some people attempt to climb Everest because, as they say, it is there; others want nothing but wealth and care little how or where they collect it; others still, with less avaricious tastes - perhaps desiring nothing more than freedom from fear - are blinded by the same personal sun that shines on all human ambition. At some time or another it burns most of us."

People admire a successful person, but success is usually associated with ambition, greed, self-interest and unfairness. Kind people (like Mother Theresa) are also admired. What do you prefer to be admired for?

"You must never try to make all the money that’s in a deal. Let the other fellow make some money too, because if you have a reputation for always making all the money, you won’t have many deals."
- J. Paul Getty

"It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second."
- John Steinbeck

"The difference between greed and ambition is a greedy person desires things he isn't prepared to work for."
- Habeeb Akande
