Making Money For The Sake Of Money
Oct 15th
via laitman.com
A question I received: What does it mean to make money for the sake of money?
My Answer: It means that people live for money, and they don’t need anything else.
Suppose I want to buy a yacht so I can enjoy it. I want to sail out into the ocean and swim far out into the open waters. It is for this sake that I am working hard now. I’m not doing it for the money, but for the yacht. Actually, I’m not even doing it for the yacht itself, but for the pleasure I’ll receive through it. I imagine how I’ll dive off the yacht into the sea and there will be dolphins skipping along in the water next to me. And I have this picture in my mind all the time.
On the other hand, there are other people who work for the sake of the money itself, just in order to add zeros to their bank accounts. I want to see the balance grow on my statement every day. This is what gives me pleasure. I look at the numbers and this activity fulfills me. I don’t need anything else. I don’t imagine anything else standing behind these numbers. I don’t see a yacht, restaurants or vacations, but only the numbers in my bank account. They give me pleasure. This is the meaning of “money for the sake of money.”

Young Social Mediaphiles: 36% Tweet and Check Facebook After Sex (via mashable)
Oct 13th
mashable.com: “Are people under the age of 35 addicted to social media? Retrevo.com set out to answer that question with their latest Gadgetology Report.
771 online panelists were surveyed on their social media and texting behaviors, and separated into two distinct categories: people under 35, and people over 35. Behavioral disparities were apparent by age, with survey data from online interviews showing that under 35 year-olds check Facebook more frequently, with 27% checking in more than 10 times per day.
The younger crowd is also quite keen on tweeting, texting, and checking Facebook after sex (36%), while driving (40%), while at work (64%), and when on vacation (65%).
While the Retrevo blog post is short on survey methodology, the results are quite interesting, and even align somewhat with a previous study showing that we like to tweet from strange and inappropriate places, like in a car and from a toilet.” – Read the whole article on mashable.com
