Since I was young I have always dreamed of being wealthy. My great performance in school was due to my goal of being a wealthy man with no problems, but quotes like this have reminded me that money isn't everything. Making money is important, but it's not everything. Technology has driven us to the point where commercials are longer, ads are bigger, and products are life savers. Money can't buy true happiness, another saying that has erupted due to all the suicidal effects of being alone with plenty of money. Some who do attain plenty of wealth spend their money on planes, cars, watches, clothes, all that cost more than a year supply of food. Food that can feed starving mouths in many countries around the world. It's sad to see money spent on things that won't even give you any warmth in your heart from doing a good deed. Paparazzi following you around, people only knowing your famous title besides your family, and never getting peace of mind, all apart of living a famous life. Fame provides wealth, and "He does not possess wealth, it possess him."
Born in the barrio of Carlsbad, California in 1940, Victor Villaseñor was raised on a ranch four miles north in Oceanside After years of facing language and cultural barriers, heavy discrimination and a reading problem, later diagnosed as dyslexia, Victor dropped out of high school his junior year and moved to Mexico. There he discovered a wealth of Mexican art, literature, music, that helped him recapture and understand the dignity and richness of his heritage.
