I mean look around you, schools, banks, resturaunts, grocery stores, conveinince stores, even charity organizations on occasions. if you pay attention, the end goal for all of those is money. this country, the whole world for that matter was built on greed. money makes the world go round. at the end of the day its all for money. you can keep telling yourself you dont care about money, but you do. and its not your fault, for hundreds of years this country has been over run by people who have too much money and too big of an ego. its unfortunate yes, but its the truth and odds are its never going to change.]]> 2021-11-05 15:41:43 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870279750 Justin Pillarick https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870282524 No I do agree with the statement. I agree with the statement because i think the end goal should you being happy and not rich. and being rich is not the gratest achevment that you can get. and also i dont agree because you should almost always be honest. dishonesty is not alway the way to get something.]]> 2021-11-05 15:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870282524 madison berry https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870283007 Mark Twain says dishonesty if we can honestly if we must. To me, I personally do not agree. Mark Tweed being dishonest caused him to be a bad businessman and honestly, I feel he got what was coming for him when he became bankrupt. I feel his quote is wrong in so many ways like you should be honest not just if you must but all the time. the dishonesty that you spread comes back for you in the end and causes many problems. his problems came back for him in the end and that is because he was dishonest. people think about money all the time for their own self-interest and that's why most people become dishonest and disloyal.]]> 2021-11-05 15:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870283007 ivan laguna https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870286743 i think he did his goal right like everyone in life needs money he did it right like you need money and to get it you have to do anything if you need money like in life you cant have regrets becasue is going to hold on to you when you die to you have to think about it and see how can you arn it and you need to let some thing go in life if you ahev apay it just pay ]]> 2021-11-05 15:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870286743 Alyssa Gibson https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870293039 I agree with this quote. As a society, we made it so we only live to earn money. We only say the goal in life is to live happy but that is simply not true. Deep down, we will always be greedy and we as humans won´t stop until we get what we want, even if it´s dishonest and hurtful.]]> 2021-11-05 15:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870293039 Anthony flye https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870298390 I agree with it because who doesn't wanna be rich. I mean happiest is important but with money, u could get happiness because everything from banks all the way to (ANY) stores. And if u live a life with no regrets then u ain't gonna have anything to show for it. With money, u save money for future grandkids so they can a better future. But i'm not saying that u should be greedy just keep in head in reality because "money is what makes the world go around" .]]> 2021-11-05 15:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870298390 harmony holemon https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870302123 I disagree with it. i think being rich isn't the end goal of life, you can be as wealthy as you want but that doesn't really change anything. Materialistic things are left on earth when you pass. So honestly if your only goal is to be rich what does it matter after you pass? Being happy, fulfilling your dreams & desires is what matters. I think just living & enjoying your life is what counts way more than just money. ]]> 2021-11-05 15:51:19 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870302123 A'mirah Cotton https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870596653 I agree because if you are rich you may treat people a different way, or try to make it seem like you are richer than they are; like belittle them. For example, Carnegie v.s Rockefeller; two-man battling to be the richest. The only thing that was making Carnegie Richer was his steel. This just shows what people would do to become the richest by being petty or just mean. People who are wealthy are extremely better than people who are rich.]]> 2021-11-05 18:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1870596653 MARONNA PAYNE https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1875581913 I agree. Everything that everyone does on a daily has an outcome of money. everything you learn is to help with money in the future. School is so you can get a good job in the future to get money. when people own houses is so they make money. Everyone wants to make money because of the things money can get you and the places it can send you. People will do anything to get money when they really need it. I strongly feel like the world revolves around money. Money both fixes and causes problems. ]]> 2021-11-08 16:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1875581913 Lastar Iriving https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1875657267 I disagree because its not right to get rich off of dishonesty. I feel that true richness comes from be authinticy. Dishonesty will soon come back to bite in the back. Honesty comes with pure and true happiness while dishonesty come with guilt and regret. Overall wealth and richest should come through honesty.]]> 2021-11-08 16:35:36 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1875657267 Syniya Taylor https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1876889389 I disagree. I don´t think the goal is to be when you have a lot of money. I think there should always be endless goals and endless money. So once you finish one goal you acco plish another. Because I think there is never enough money or enough goals accomplished.]]> 2021-11-09 01:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1876889389 valery escalante https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1879713852 I disagree because money should not be the end goal. I feel like you should enjoy life while you have it. yeah, money is nice but if your not happy what's the point. so you just be the happiest you can be no matter what. lying to get money is even worse because you don't get that reward of being able to feel proud of yourself because the way you got it was unfair not only to yourself but others. lying doesn't get you anywhere.     ]]> 2021-11-09 23:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1879713852 Cameil Ware https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1881487012 I agree and disagree. Most people's goal in life is to get rich/wealthy. But money is not everything. without happiness, and wisdom wealth means nothing. If you don't know how to spend your money wisely then having it is pointless. And earning money dishonestly is wrong and immoral.]]> 2021-11-10 14:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1881487012 Tai-Shaun Ewing https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1923262504 I agree because a lot of people want to be rich and if you are rich you can help more people in your life and if you rich you can start your own organization or business. He with the money you can make your goal come true because you have enough money to pay for it and you can get happiness from your money because you can get happiness by helping others/family. ]]> 2021-12-01 16:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1923262504 johnathan https://padlet.com/butlerda2/qi3by30ve4liyhbx/wish/1923321127  Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer.

I agree because  people are looking for the easiest way to make money.  Earning money dishonestly is the fastest way to generate more money. A lot of people don't try to do get money honestly. People only make honest money if someone is forcing them to do so.
