Gordon Gekko – Greed For The Good

  • by Mark Patchett
  • in Quoted

The point is ladies and gentlemen that greed, for lack of a better word, is good.

— Gordon Gekko

He may be a fictional character, but Michael Douglass’s character Gordon Gekko, in the 1987 film Wall Street, had some powerful lines.

The above was one that struck a chord with me.

Is some element of greed a good thing? Is there a healthy motivation that can come from wanting more?

Or are you just setting yourself up to never being satisfied.

I’ve found that lusting over some material things has given me a kick and some drive to help me get things done.

Perhaps a little greed is ok when acknowledged as a productivity tool rather than the endless battle for seeking fulfilment in owning it all…

Your thoughts?

    A little bit of poison can act as a powerful remedy. I can see this working, if applied carefully.
