Writting Task - Speech
Good morning alumni's, its an honor to speak to you today here in Harvard. May i introduce myself, im Alonso Jander and today i want to talk about of how money and ambition may affect in friendship.
Since that the human being is dependent to exchanges of products to survive the human being has adopted ways to acquire this products giving "money" for it. Since this invention of money the world changed on how it functions. Nowadays the world is ruled by money, if you dont have money you cant do the things you like or even live a decent life the actual society has the pattern of : study, get a good job, and try to have the biggest amount of profit as you can so you can live a decent life in this world. The problems of this money-ruled society is that the money most of the times brings more problems than solutions this problems are commonly the corruption and ambition.
Ambition can be good to achieve your personal goals in your life but most of the time ambition consumes the human and corrupt his values which leads to the social crisis of this individual, loose of friendships and even the family for the sake of money.
A great example of this, is in the recently story of the millionare Mark Zuckerberg. This story begins in this exact university Mark was one of you in the past and now he is the CEO of one of the most popular websites in the world. But like all the big industries he first started with nothing, in this case with 3 friends and a computer. In the begining Mark and his best friend Eduardo started with the website here in harvard, and then expanding it to other universities around the country. In less than a year Facebook was already very famous and started getting bigger wich means that more people joined the website. Now is here where the money with the recently empleoyee Sean Parker the cofounder of Napster, this individual convinced Mark to cut a giagantic part of the earns of his CFO Eduardo his best friend. Cutting his 35% to a 0.35% of the company. But Mark didnt expected that Eduardo sued him, and after the trial all that Mark won was a destroyed friendship and millions lost in payments.
Theres a clear messege in this story, in how extreme ambition can destroy your relation with the people you love, family and friends. So i ask you the following question is it worth to loose a lifelasting relationship for some money?
The reason i tell you this story is because you are the future of the world, you ladies and gentleman will be the future generation of proffesionals in the world, and i personally ask you to always be carefull and balance the ambitious life goals that you have with your relation with your close ones, always analaise what is the correct thing because it is something you will encounter day a day in the present,the XXI century.
Please remember the words i just told you if the moment comes.
Thanks for listening
