OK I am in my mid 30's now with a family. We do OK, own a house, good jobs, good cars etc.

I have tried to live my life with consideration for others. It makes me feel good to do good or something random for someone.

I don't like taking favours from people and I try to be self sufficient in all that I do.


My point is and that grates on me is that overtime I see so many people that are rude arrogant turkeys continually come up and do extremely well.

They are always nice to those that they need to or that can help them to get ahead be but plain out rude wan%^$# to people they don't see can help them.

Another example is the guy in the new Merc that pulls out into traffic without acknowledging people or using blinkers. Even tooting your horn does not elicit a response. The guy simply does not care about you or what you think. Is this a reflection of his entire approach to life? Do what you need to do and screw others??

The question is: To become wealthy and progress in life do I need to forget ethics, manners and consideration for others and become self consumed and only ever focussed on my self??
