Quote by Daniel Amory

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.

Do you want to achieve something or do you just want to make

Summary

The quote highlights a conversation between two individuals, with one questioning the motivations behind achieving something. The nearby man in the white shirt queries whether the other simply wants monetary gain or desires something more significant. The response suggests a deeper meaning, questioning the either-or nature of the question. The man in the striped shirt muses that the desire for achievement and making money need not be mutually exclusive. Both individuals pause, absorbed in contemplation as they ponder the complexities of ambition and motivation.
