Can Money Buy Success?

Most people will assume that money can buy instant success. However there are so many rich people who become bankrupts overnight not because they are not rich enough but rather due to poor judgement, bad decision and greed. Of course bad luck too. If a person can be at the right place at the right time with the right amount of money and luck, he or she will become richer and more successful. Somehow this takes years of hard work and of couse luck. People like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet do not become rich overnight. After years of hard work, right decision and good luck, they are where they are today.

Football clubs like Manchester United has taken years of hard work to be so successful today. Even Chelsea has always been consistent though it only broke into the top 4 much more recently especially after the Roman era. But they had spent money wisely to be successful. The same cannot be said of Newcastle and even Tottenham Hotspur. They had spent money on the wrong players and managers. Other sports have proven that money can buy success. Even in our daily lives, money breeds success. The rich gets richer and poor gets poorer. This is the meaning of life. Some make money to stay alive. While others make more money to get a life.

I hope today I will win $1.5m and I will then know if indeed money breeds success and the rich gets richer. For sure I know I won't be poorer with $1.5m (if I spend the money wisely and do not have bad luck).
