Is it possible that people who have billions of dollars are "mentally disturbed"? Really!

Think about it - these people thrive on "success and wealth". They stop at nothing to make money or become successful. They take chances, they run over people to move up the ladder of success and they have little or no regard for anyone who isn't like them.

It is apparent that their whole life is consumed by doing this - they work 80 or more hours a week. have no home life to speak of and though they own expensive toys, they very seldom get to use them.

However when they do, they do it in grand style -

And they never retire - but when they do at the age of 80 or so, they immediately die.

Think maybe they have something mentally wrong with themselves? You can classify all sucessful people in this catagory for sure.

Call it drive, obsession. People like that I imagine move this country. Steve Jobs didn't have to come up with th I-phone. He had plenty of money to retire after making the mac.

Don't you think it's the same thing - You know as well as I he was "married to his company and job". There must be a "genetic defect" in people who do this - maybe we need to start looking in that direction.

I cannot make up my mind if you are joking or not.
What would be the mental make up for an individual who works full-time and goes to school in the evening to advance their career? Or how about the parent who has to work 2 jobs and come home to take care of their children? Perhaps it isn't a defect at all. Maybe it is just the individual. there are those who are happy with a few things and work part time. And there are those who are driven individuals

Well, think about it - these people are focused on only one thing - wealth and power.

Like it was stated Steve Jobs when alive had millions but yet that didn't stop him. These people do have a problem - not being satisfied with just a couple million is not enough, not even hundredths of millions - they want billions or trillions - When is enough, enough with these people.

With regard to people working to advance their careers or parents working 2 jobs - there is a big difference in their goals and desires.

Now, that is not to say down the road that these individuals do become successful but people who thrive on owning millions/billions have a different personality altogether.
