For a lot of people, a dream job includes having a high salary, having a high status along with being famous so you can afford a big nice house, perhaps a car from a well-known brand and retiring at an early age. I Think that being a CEO includes those things but the most important thing for me is having a high salary. Why I think that is because I want to retire at an early age and I don’t want to work until I am 65 or 70 years old, I do also believe that with having a high salary along with a lot of money it also means you can be happy more often. First I think that being a CEO gives you a lot of freedom so that you have a huge impact to determine what projects you want to work with and build your day around. Being able to choose what projects …show more content…

I Think it depends on the person and what they think is fun which in my case it is not true, therefore money makes me happier. Why I believe that money makes me have more fun is because I like going on vacations or buy clothes which is obviously not free because it costs money. If I do have a lot of money and a nice house in a nice place for example Hollywood I will have lots of more fun because that’s simply the lifestyle I enjoy while you might not agree that is my opinion. Whereas I think that money makes some people happier and some people stay the same. A lot of people also say that being a CEO you will suffer depression including loneliness because of all the hours in the office you put in, I don’t agree with that at all because that just show how unmotivated those people are. If you want something much you will put in the hours and at the end you will succeed so you can tell yourself that you have proven everybody wrong in behalf of that I am also willing to take the risks as well as the sacrifices it is
A well-known expression is that money can’t buy happiness, yet people fantasize of winning the lottery, living in their dream house, and possessing enough tangible objects to feel satisfied with their lives. Most are under the preconceived notion that the absence of wealth and power translates to hardship and despair. This, however, is not the case, because a self-effacing lifestyle is not an indication of a lower quality of life, and often is better than one of great fortune. People yearn to have the financial independence and capabilities of those in higher ranking positions, and are willing to abandon their morals and own personal well-being if it means being successful. It seems that by reaching a level of wealth in which money is no longer
Where I thought Money, fame, glory and power where my goals. I dreamed of becoming the CEO of Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Moreover, the reason was that currently their CEO makes 14.5 million a year. Growing up I always assumed making more money would make me happy. As I grew up and started, working the goal was always to make more money. For instance, my first job I made $15 a day. I would tell myself if I only made $30 a day, I would be able to do this or that. As the years progress I went on to tell myself if I only made XX amount of dollars my life would get better. Now that I am making a decent amount of money now I can say okay life is better but it is not the money it is my lifestyle and my son that has enhance my

...f money could bring happiness, then more money could bring him more happiness. Again, when money is the highest value used in determining happiness at work, other values become over shadowed or ignored. Unsatisfied values eventually reveal themselves when the money value is met. Without being content in all values, happiness at work cannot be attained. Richard Cory probably did not know how to satisfy those once hidden values and found his life very unhappy. Thinking that hard work will lead to financial success and happiness is not wrong as a value, but as Richard Cory finds out, happiness based on only money is not possible unless that value is your only value.
“The Five Temptations of a CEO” by Patrick Lencioni is a must read for every aspiring business major.

The Five temptations are status over results, popularity over accountability, certainty over clarity, harmony over conflict, and invulnerability over trust.
Happiness is a feeling adults experience when they receive a gift, win something, and various other reasons, but does money buy this happiness everyone experiences? Don Peck and Ross Douthat claim money does buy happiness, but only to a point in their article which originally appeared in the Atlantic Monthly (252). Throughout their article, reasons on why money can sometimes buy happiness are explained. While some of the reasons given are effective, not all are satisfying answers for adults working diligently to make a living. Money is a part of everyone’s life, yet it is not always the cause of happiness.
The Beatles gave us some valuable advice that money can't buy love, and it wouldn’t hurt to remember that money can't buy happiness either. We can see that there is no direct association between wealth and happiness. After our fundamental needs are met our over-all well being and happiness is no longer affected by money.

In terms of money-making motivations, they are all equally related to subjective well-being. Fulfilling financial goals leads to the achievement of desires, so it increases well-being, while incomplete goals will lower subjective well-being. It is possible to argue that subjective well-being which arises from making money is only a temporary sensation that will eventually fade, so income levels are unstable and unreliable determinants of well-being.
For some, happiness is all that matters. Happiness is achieved in many ways, and it doesn’t always involve money. There are many things that contribute to making a person feel happy and successful. One can feel successful without a lot of money at all. For example, feeling loved is something that makes everyone happy. Many believe that without love life is not thoroughly complete, thus never truly achieving success. Ones line of work can also affect how happy he is. Some feel that it is more important to enjoy work and get less money than it is to hate work and get paid more. Another factor in achieving psychological success is ones ability to enjoy what life gives him. There are many qualities of life that are overlooked. Everyone is dealt family and it is important to value that.
Money and Happiness are two things that we have all given a lot thought. We put lots of effort into these two things either trying to earn them or trying to increase them. The connection we make between money and happiness is strange because they are two very different concepts. Money is tangible, you can quantify it, and know exactly how much of it you have at any given time. Happiness, on the other hand, is subjective, elusive, has different meanings for different people and despite the efforts of behavioral scientist and psychologist alike, there is no definitive way to measure happiness. In other word, counting happiness is much more difficult than counting dollar bills. How can we possibly make this connection? Well, money, specifically in large quantity, allows for the freedom to do and have anything you want. And in simplest term, happiness can be thought of as life satisfaction and enjoyment. So wouldn’t it make sense that the ability to do everything you desire, result in greater satisfaction with your life.
We all have the same question in our mind when we are in a certain position for a long time: when can I be promoted? We go to work every day and do the things we are supposed to do during work. As time passes, some people who have the same position as you have somehow get promoted to a higher position. Whenever this happens, you might ask yourself: “why is he/she the person who gets promoted. Why is it not me?” In this article, we are going to help you and tell you what characteristics employers are looking for when promoting. And you will never have to ask yourself the question again because you are most likely to be the person who gets promoted.
Money is probably one of the most important things in this world. Without it, life would be very hard. With it, you become economically stable making life would be easier in some ways. But the real question is, can money actually make someone physically and emotionally happy? There are many sides to this debate; some who say yes and others who say no. Though most people agree with the statement, “Money doesn’t buy happiness,” there is still a large amount of people who disagree with it. They believe that money does indeed buy happiness and that it’s the most important thing in the world. There is no right or wrong answer to this question, it’s just a matter of what you believe in and your values.
When none of us has ever come across such words and formulas, none of the great personalities has ever mentioned it, then who the hell has instilled it in our minds that money brings happiness. But among this debate one question still raises its head - What is happiness? Happiness is not actually leading a luxurious life but the luxury of living a life. Happiness is not actually about expanding your business, but it lies in expanding the horizons of life. Happiness is not having a meal in the most famous restaurant but to have it with your most beloved family. It does not lie in attending honorable parties but to attend a party with honor.
It seems only natural that happiness should flow from having more money. Even if they don’t admit it, people still behave as though it were true. More money means you can have what you want and do what you want. The house you dream of? It’s yours. The new car you desire? Here are the keys. The freedom to enjoy your favourite pastimes? Here’s your racket, the court is down there, just past the pool.
