About This Quote
Today people just go on working, working and working. Not because they are creating something fantastic, but simply because they have to work, otherwise they don't know what to do with themselves. Today people are motivated by money, luxury and social status. They are driven by the fear of becoming poor or deprived of wealth and luxury.
