Set out to make meaning you will make $, if you set out to make $ you wont make either - reminds me of CS Lewis' quote about originality

[@edwardwatson8937]

Very true, but creating meaning directly applies to our life. For instance, the easiest way to live a life of meaning is to have a family. Marry someone whom you love and who loves you back. Have children, protect and love them and raise them to become happy, successful adults. Those who ignore the importance of having a life of meaning will end up alone, bitter, and full of regret at their life.

Guy- You are the reason I wake up in the morning, you're the reason the sun comes up, you're the reason good prevails over evil. -I hope someday I could become as good of a man as you.

It makes sense. If you have a product with intrinsic measing to its existence, people will want to buy it. Of course, you can stumble upon meaning with a motivation for money, but still.

@BeeRich33 You know nothing. Microsoft is the reason you have a PC in your house. They may not have use the right path to get there... BUT windows is Personal Computer since it's begining.

[@Napalmdog]

Microsoft did put a GUI interface on the PC, but a PC on 95% of desktops? No.
