An Estimate Of Success And Its True Meaning
The article argues that wealth alone does not define success and warns against idolizing millionaires. It contrasts moneyed status with moral achievement, noting that some rich individuals ruin their lives or fail in all other respects. It distinguishes flashy lifestyle from genuine character.
Wealth and character define true success in society
The passage argues that respectability and wealth are not enough if gained unlawfully. It praises wealth earned by legitimate means as admirable and a guide for youth, but stresses that character, not riches, determines real success. A man of sterling character, regardless of wealth, is richer than a wealthy fraud.
