Does_Labor_Equal_Happiness_

In the year 1974 a man by the name of Donald Trump set his sights in the hotel industry making the first Trump Towers. He made billions of dollars in the hotel chain, but of his children' They had done nothing to gain the luxury they have lived in. Now answer this question, is Labor the only way to gain prosperity' Many people hurt themselves to gain the prosperity a teeming of people want to have. But what is the meaning of Prosperity' Well, it is the happiness of where a person is in life. In reality, while families are suffering to get rich or have a fantasy come to life, others are gaining that fantasy of getting rich in a second. For example, inheritance, a get-rich-deal without even lifting a finger. Paris Hilton is a great example of a person who never had to lift a finger to get the money she has. “I’m like an American princess” (Hilton). This quote tells the reader that she is a rich girl doesn’t have to do much to bath in diamonds and perils, all she has do is sit in her twenty thousand dollar room and be indolent. Another example of getting their parents money is London Tipton. She is a fictional character from the show, “The suite life on deck” on the Disney Channel who is based off of Paris Hilton. She is the symbol of getting rich without going through work. An example of this is shown through these quotes from the website wikiquotes: Maddie: There's no such thing as ghosts. London: Wrong, as usual. I've seen this ghost. It was so scary, I dropped my new purse. And left it there! Maddie: With money in it' London: Oh, just the regular $1,000 bill every kid gets for allowance... [Maddie, Zack and Cody suddenly bolt for the elevator.] Hey! Just 'cause I don't need it, doesn't mean it's not mine (Wikiquotes) In these quotes we can see how London treats large amounts of cash like pennies. Through inheritance labor is not a factor to be concerned with, it is just an inconvenience. Luck. It is one of the most desired things on this world. Many people are very familiar to luck, especially lottery winners. What do George martinek, Susan Hannoun, and Lori Boyle have in common' They all won the lottery becoming millionaires along with a few others (Sundin). This happens every year to thousands of people. People get lucky all the time for many things such as finding your soul mate through eHarmony or getting the last chicken patty at lunch, it is an entity of no other. An example of the luckiest guy to live in this nation is Justin Beber. All he did was post a YouTube video for his family to see, then here comes Usher and his power to make the infamous famous. He stumbles onto Beber’s pungent video and makes Justin a millionaire. This is a very farcical and crazy lucky to have someone like Usher making someone popular through the internet. It is seen in this paragraph that luck is one of the contributing factors of the poor gaining prosperity. Fate is also a big contribution to prosperity. Many people say that it is possible to change fate and bend it into what is most desired. So does that mean you can change fate to become prosperous' The answer to this question is that there is no answer. We have the power to change what happens to us, but it can also be the fate of someone changing their fate so therefore fate has not been changed. Through this quote it is shown that fate can and can’t be changed, ”Fate often puts all the material for happiness and prosperity into a man's hands just to see how miserable he can make himself with them” (Marquis). Saying “Fate often puts all the materials” tells the reader fate is already predetermined, but when it says “into a man’s hands to see just how miserable he can make himself” it means once happiness and prosperity is placed into the hands of a mortal then it is their decision to use it right or wrong. In today’s world the idea of getting rich and getting everything imaginable is one of lives main goals. Through inheritance, luck, and fate it is seen that labor is not only an inconvenience, it is also not the only way to gain prosperity. Work Cited Halasz, Robert. “The Trump Organization”.
