Times are changing.
500 years ago when one person started a farm, a business, and it was
successful the next generation was expected to follow in father’s
footsteps. Starting anything in this
country was hard. There were no
transportation, no cars, no railways, no bridges, roads, airplanes were an
unfathomable phenomenon. No banks or investors stateside... Success took pure ingenuity, education, slave labor or political connections. Inventions here all new.
So the generation that made it through prohibition,
entertainment, gambling, saloons, brothels, lying , cheating, robbery, acted
out of desperation to be millionaires and live an opulent life only heard of in
other continents. Desire, want,
need. Some figured it out, others did
not. So we are the descendants of a
collage of reverends and horse thieves.
Some relatives were both.
Today, the goal to be millionaire is no more. Billionaire is the new millionaire. Why? Because many have figured out how to
make a million and the opulent life is now the one of trillionaires. The reality is that this generation has
available to them choices like never before in history. Opportunities for all to go to school
regardless of a wealthy family. Anyone
can put a business together and try to turn a profit regardless of race or
religion. Anyone can run for public office. This country has great opportunity for men
and women.
So out with the old, in with the new ideas of this generation.
This generation is not desperate to be millionaires. This generation wants to make money to give to
start foundations that help mankind.
This generation wants to extend a helping hand to all and not focus on
materialism. And because the world is
changing for the better, heirs can leave the farm, leave family businesses, go
out into the world to pursue individual goals and be successful at it. They can choose their life based on their
desires not the last generation’s business, possessions, expectations. Freedom is choice and choice is here, now.
What a wonderful world…
