The most important thing to remember if you desire to generate more money (social capital) is to position yourself within a political climate that embodies your values, and if the group you currently find yourself in does not adequately represent your interests, create your own.
Whether you like it or not, money makes the world go round'. You must compete, but where and how you do it is your choice entirely ....
Don't let money enslave your life and instead use the money to grow social values towards others by helping those in need. Making money by seizing social values is not good because you will not take money with you when you die and money is quite important in living a social life but it does not mean that money is everything. In the context of life there are various ways to help each other and it is not all based on money because you can help people in different ways. Never narrow down social values because we are not always talking about money and it happens in an environment that is created because of individual awareness in helping others.
