It is only if the primary or only reason you do what you do is to make money that you will envy every random person who made or makes a lot of money (or money that exceeds what you made or make).

About This Quote

When it comes to making money, you will never envy the rich, because they are rich because they believed that money is more important than life itself. They know that life is too short to be taken for granted. Of course, there will always be rich people who want to make more money. That’s what makes them rich. But, if you are one of those people who believe that making money is the primary or only reason why you do what you do, you will always envy the random person who made more than you.
