Success and Money
How much importance would you put on success and money? Scientists have now discovered that there is a set of genes related to a person's work ethic and intelligence, making things such as these "determined by birth." Should success be one's ultimate goal in life, or should it just be a way to secure enough money to achieve escapism? Meaning that one should earn money in order to do what they really want in leisure time, unless they really like their job, of course.

Also, since there is a gene for happiness, what would life mean for someone who was born with a crummy happiness gene??

Yeah... Link please, because apparently there's a gene for every problem in life, nothing just happens.

Personally:
Success = Money
Money = Success

Works both ways

I concur.

I am lucky enough to have both in abundance.

Re: Success and Money
I meant that in a sarcastic way...
Every little characteristic in people's lives there's always some apparent excuse made up to explain it.
For example the other day I heard some moron saying a white couple could have a black baby if one of the parents were a carrier of the "black gene".

Link us to the findings, because I usually think discoveries of character genes are a load of crap.

Re: Success and Money
MedlinePlus: Happiness Is in the Genes

The gene that determines 50% of your happiness level for your whole life.
Or just google something else if you need to find any more sources.
Character and personality is also determined by two factors: nature and nurture.
Nature: things you inherit, were born with; nurture: things you grow up around that changes your identity, your own decisions

Re: Success and Money
there is also a "god gene" that half determines how spiritual you are going to be in your life.
