So, I just finished watching the movie "The Social Network." Yeah, I know that I am way behind (blame NetFlix - it takes them forever to release new movies). Anyways, I was amazed by the intelligence of the co-founder, Mark Zuckerberg. It's funny that people with such a high level of intelligence are such jerks (and that's putting it nicely)! Yes, he ended up with great wealth and created probably the greatest social network of our time, but at what cost? He lost his friends and the love of his life. Is money and fame worth it? Everyone has heard the old adage, "money cannot buy happiness," but I'm here to tell you that it sure as hell can make life a little less stressful. This is of course coming from someone that is far from being a millionaire, and very close to living check to check.
Would I have sold out my friend the way he sold out Eduardo Saverin? Heck no! Would I have taken the idea from the twins and ran with it? Maybe! It begs the question, what unethical actions will one take to be rich?
