Do you want to achieve something or do you just want to make money?” asked a nearby man in a white shirt to another man in a striped shirt. I waited for the answer as I slowly walked past them. “Why is it an either or question?” the man in the striped shirt finally murmured philosophically under a sip of beer. They both stood there looking at each other in thought. Daniel Amory
About This Quote

We all want to make money, right? There is a difference between wanting to make money and actually making money. We all want to achieve something, but some of us over-value achievements over goals. The idea of achieving something is a positive thing, but the concept of achievement can be over inflated. I believe that we should be more concerned about achieving goals than we are about achieving achievements.

In other words, the more you achieve the more you will achieve. If you achieve enough, you will reach your goals and have even more to achieve!
