To
answer his questions concerning a person’s relationship with money he used
information from a book, which deals with the relationship between money and
life; he also uses obtained from and interview with the book's author Jacob
Needleman. According to Needleman, the brilliant people allow money tear them
away from anything that is not directly related with money such as, love and
personal relationships. I feel that brilliant people tend to lose track of how
they became brilliant. I say this because they were brilliant before their
riches; the money they have now comes from their brilliance not vice versa.
Everyone has certain amounts of money they need to make them happy. Some people
feel like the amount of money they have is based off of what they know. These
people are addicted to the false feeling of success. Also, they are not content
with the hard work that had to put forth but satisfied with the amount of zeros
that fulfill their material needs and not what brought them to their success in
the first place. As stated before everyone has certain amounts of money
they need to make them happy. To me people risk so much because a void they
have cannot be filled with money. Needleman also answered Taylor’s question, “how
is it so that so many extremely wealthy people seem so unhappy?” Needleman felt
that those wealthy unhappy people were not honest with themselves about what
money really means to them. He made a valid statement about how people need to
be happy before they come in contact with their abundant supply of money. Some wealthy
people are unhappy because of how they came into their riches or what they lost
to obtain their riches.
