THE PENCHANT OF RAKING MOOLAH IS INCREASING DAY BY DAY IN YOUTHS

"BEING YOUNG IS NOT HAVING ANY MONEY;
BEING YOUNG NOT MINDING HAVING ANY MONEY"
                                                                                        ___Katharine Whitehorn : Observations(1970)

When she wrote these lines, she never would have thought what being young would mean after 40 years. Now, being an adult is eagerly awaited as the age when one rakes some moolah. What is being taught to today's youth is "if possible honestly, if not, somehow, make money". These things are not just mere talks but have very deep indentations on minds of youths now-a-days. What else is the reason behind all this? How come the mentality of people took a turn? These are the questions of interest.

The world we live in is breathing the air of technology and to survive in this world we have to be an active part of it. It is an inevitable truth that our youth is so much handy with the technology as mobile phones, laptops, tablets and other gadgets are now the basic needs of our youths. Everyday, new technology comes and youth is the only target of all such baits. Moreover, "Money is like a sixth sense without which one can't make complete use of the other five".

Life of people, today, is filled with wishes and dreams which can't be fulfilled without money. In other words, people are turning overambitious now. Everybody wants to be richer than everyone else. Such thoughts are germinated in them from the very tender age as they are told that if they want the world to listen or follow them, they must have money. So, their psychology is to do whatever it takes to rake moolah, or say, they are brain washed. Apart from this, their wishes of childhood are postponed for the time when they start to earn, so, they have no choice left except from earning as early as possible. They think of earning money by themselves from their puerility and when they find themselves capable of doing so, they get drowned in the river of money-making, no matter wrong or right, no matter what it takes.

What is much popular in youths is giving tuition for the purpose of money. Apart from this, people have many other ways like blogging, vlogging(blogging of videos) and taking part in competitions but are not much popular. These are the creative ways of using one's talent which hardly raise any dust. But the tale ends not here, As the holy BIBLE says, "The love of money is the root of all evil", in the race of raking moolah, one may learn to deceive, cheat and fraud. A very good example being the temptations of network marketing. A so-called well known way for living the dreams is nothing but web of betrayal.

Sometimes, people choose the path which is not wrong, actually, but it is not their choice. For instance, Many students choose engineering as their carrier but end up as a failure and the reason turns out to be that they chose it for it gave a lot of money but it wasn't their choice of heart, sometimes family pressure also comes into picture.
At the end of this post, a famous quotation goes as:   
"FIRST DESERVE THEN DESIRE"
