MONEY IS THE MOTIVATING FACTOR, what do you think?

[Wakate]

Money is a good follower, but is a poor leader.

Money will always lead you astray, but it will follow you well.

Any man that seeks to follow money becomes misled.
Money is meant to follow you, while you are meant to follow value.  Create value, solve problems, and do it well, you'll attract people to follow you; remember, money follows people with value.

What's your take on this?

Money is the root of evil just like an adage says that it's also answers all things. We need money to run all our probs so we don't finally go begging. Everyone need money so there is no way we can ignore it or say we are not working for it. Even as the market is dipping there are some persons that are still making money in respective of the market condition.

It is better to not be too desperate about money because this might make us do the wrong thing to make money. Our love for money should be moderate and we shouldn't hesitate much to make money by all means.

Before we cann start the plan for anything we will have to first consider the role and availability of money to use for such planning since when matters discussed always end at the need to use money for the solution to all related areas that needed urgent attention and effective response to, money sometimes encourages to start about something new or to invest or invent since they key factor to every progress is the common use of money in providing for adequate resource needed, lack of money creates depression and slows down discovering potentials.

It is not really good to use money as the basis of our happiness and power, but that is what we saw today, and it is a sad reality. Many people have stated on social media that money cannot buy happiness, but they are flexing some expensive items and materials, which still means that money can buy happiness through expensive things. But I've also noticed that when those rich people reach the top, they lose their happiness, even though they have enough money to buy everything. 

Let us be realistic, money gives us happiness.  In what reason?  If we want to buy our loved one's gift, we need money.  If we want to feed our family, we need money to buy this food.  Whether we like it or not, money had been the basis of happiness of every individual because money is the medium to buy what we need, what we wanted to give, and what we wanted to establish.  Though I agree that there are things beyond money but to achieve those things, we need money.

I greatly agree.  Money is almost the foundation of everything we wanted to do in our life.  It is the fuel to keep our dreams and plans in action.  And without money, we can see desperation, disappointment, and even a broken family because everyone is quarreling blaming each other due to lack of money to sustain their needs.

I disagree.  It is " For the love of money is the root of all evil."  This is the most misconception of people who never see or heard the real verse of the line.

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

1 Timothy 6:10

I agree, instead of being desperate, find ways how to get a better and decent job and strive hard and be wise in spending.  This way we can avoid the shortage of funding.

Our love for money should be moderate ...

Most people will realize this when thinking about it, but when we see a lot of money in front of us, we forget it immediately. We have a saying "money makes you blind". I can say that we won't stop loving money because nowadays even love will be measured in money, if you don't have money, no girl will love you no matter how sincere you are. Money can be the root of all evil, but it can also be the cradle of happiness.

Your opinion is so classy that I want to tell you that when I was in college, at that time I needed money to live and I also needed money to pay for college, I was in the hospital. I was confused about where to go. that's where I think money is not everything but for our life everything needs money. sometimes sincere friends lose to friends who have money

To ensure the physical and mental health of yourself and your family, you must have a steady source of income, which usually comes from a job. At this point, in the upper levels of the survival stage, you are no longer fighting to survive, but to maintain the status quo. You need to control the direction and speed of money flow because you depend on it to meet your basic needs.

[Sir Legend]

Money is the most important factor that makes people want to do anything, there is no best motivation other than money, even because of money wars and murders can happen, but as humans we must always use the ratio that there is an important value other than money, namely humanity, so money is indeed the best motivation but there are things more valuable than money.

I kind of agree that we should follow value but I've been thinking about this a lot recently and I've come to a conclusion that if you're chasing value then you're following the money. I believe this "follow value and not money" is a sales speech and also what people tell themselves to make them fell better. Look at it this way, you have a business where  you offer service but if your service don't have value you wont make money therefore you offer a service that has value to your client. I believe if there is a way you can offer a service that adds no value to people and still make money a lot of people will go for it.

Sincere friends also need money in order to live and be sincere all the time. Because with money you can have more friends in life and it will be easier to manage everything when you are sick or in the hospital. You need to know that health is far more important than money, but a person will never be healthy if he lacks money. Because being healthy is much more expensive than when you are sick.

To ensure the physical and mental health of yourself and your family, you must have a steady source of income, which usually comes from a job. At this point, in the upper levels of the survival stage, you are no longer fighting to survive, but to maintain the status quo. You need to control the direction and speed of money flow because you depend on it to meet your basic needs.

Someone who already has a lot of money in his life, I think he will be smart enough to control anything because with money a person can more easily manage everything he wants so that there are never any obstacles. So it is clear that the source of work that generates money is something that needs to be properly maintained and controlled so that the flow of income is not interrupted.

Money is a necessity and we need it to survive and that's a fact. To be honest, people like moving to make money but also have to pay for everything every single move. The role of money in our lives as well as in our society and economy is too huge and nothing can replace it.
Some people commit crimes and make wrong decisions because of money but we should do it the right way. We must have money as the right motivation for us to work hard and reach success and not be content with having a complete meal a day.
We should aim for more and have higher goals so we could give our family a comfortable life.

Realistically I disagree on some parts. Having a stable mental health due to financial stability is one heck of a happiness that everyone desires. Money can give you the peace of mind that you needed. You can pay bills and have access to your basic needs without any problems. People saying that money can't buy happiness either does not know how broken the current economy is with the inflation happening or just saying it for the sake of coping with their insecurities to their social media connections.

Those rich people you're mentioning either just does not know now where to spend their money now because they are so rich that they can just get everything or they did not like what their wealth led them into. Life just becomes so boring when you were given everything and that could be the reason why some of these rich people are unhappy with what they have.

Ultimate the capitalist system has been proven as the most effective in the history of trading systems, even though it is far from perfect and it needs a lot of regulation to protect the masses. There is a very fine line between capitalism and corporatism (or corporate capture) which politicians should always be keeping a strong eye and forceful hand on. Businesses should always be there to serve the needs of the mass population in every country, not just offering employment, but using responsible practices and contributing it's fair share to upkeep of vital infrastructure like road networks. However in such an environment a ruthless business person might be inclined to undermine such forceful oversight in the form of lobbying, which should be restricted where possible as it can often touch on areas like bribery.

What's your take on this?

My own take on this is that I don't agree with it. No money don't really follow people with value because if you look at the professors, the well read, well behaved and descent people, they are not wealthy, they are just average and could only feed themselves, immediate family and nothing more but they have created value, taught virtues etc but they remain as below average or lower in the society. Money rather follow people who have been into illicit business and embezzlement, stealing public money, making contacts for contract awarding. These set of people are those that money follow but they are not smarter, they only choose such style of life. Winning through fraud, illicit craft, drug peddling is not value creation but pulling down the society and corrupting it more. So I don't agree with your assertion that money follow people with value.

Money is a means to an end. The need to have money do not require motivation to find it. Value improved upon can be a source of having the money one wants, any extras is what is called value added.

many people think and there is a saying that money is not everything but everything needs money, just be realistic or this factor in our life is that we always need money whatever we are going to do in life's necessities, but don't forget in my opinion the number 1 factor is in terms of humanity

Money is definitely the motivating force
I feel so bad and cranky when my bank account is empty - I feel depressed and anxious when I dont have money

When we dont have money then this is mainly on what in our minds.

How would i live?
How i could buy food?
How i could pay rent or have a house?
How i could buy clothing?
How i could buy my wants?
How i could buy my needs?

Money isnt everything but we know that this is mainly needed for you to survive on daily living.
We do have recession and inflation which it is really just right that you would be doing your best to earn money
and buy up things that you do like.No one really ones to have a miserable life.

[Lambe Ndumble]

I think the best motivation is money, with money, people are willing to do anything to bad things like corruption, robbing and so on, and of course we must be realistic in making money, we must do the best and do not get caught up with temptations to be rich instantly with bad ways.

[19Nov16]

Money is the best motivation to make people do or not do something, especially now that almost all things are judged by money so it is very difficult not to be related to money, life that is difficult because money is difficult to find, the fact of money is everything is proven and often I feel , when it is difficult then people will stay away but when a lot of money then people will approach even like relatives.

I can say that we won't stop loving money because nowadays even love will be measured in money, if you don't have money, no girl will love you no matter how sincere you are. Money can be the root of all evil, but it can also be the cradle of happiness.

Of course, this cannot be denied because money is indeed a necessity for living everyday life at this time, it is only natural that nowadays many people measure everything with money, even when FIAT currency has not been used as it is today, in ancient times. still use gold coins, silver and others as a medium of exchange for goods or services, many people want it because money (gold coins) is considered as goods that can be exchanged for whatever we want, including girls.
Of course, Money itself has good and bad influences but it depends on how we use and make use of it. But when it comes to happiness, there are many contexts, and everyone has their way even without money.

Person who is with disability and unable to walk see the person with good legs and wishes for it. Same as that one with legs look the person moving in a bicycle and the person going in bicycle wants to be like someone on a motorcycle. This continues, and everything is connected to money and the human minds are in a state to run for it. So, it is obvious that money is the motivating factor.
