How many of us are (rightly / wrongly) doing what we are doing in order to chase the ghost of Jay Gatsby?
It's a fantastic article.

I feel that the people chasing after the trappings of wealth will be less focused on the hard work involved in actually attaining it. The people that care about making an impact will be more likely to "stumble into" money by focusing on what really matters - what they create.
