“We make ourselves rich by making our wants few.”
Having started my life in the retail industry, few have I seen people getting by without the necessary wanting to covet more and more.
As a retail practitioner, knowing this about the behavior of the consumers gives utmost advantage on how we can entice people to keep buying and shopping for more. In the end, our company will make substantial sales and profit to make us grow and expand our market reach.
On a personal note, I am really a person with few wants and needs, I am quite content with accomplishing my work, having made both my boss, superiors, peers and customers happy.
Learning this virtue for contentment is sometimes a hard-to do for most people and they are even asking me how come, I being in an industry seeing the insatiable covetousness of people, be it for the company wanting to sell more, or for the people who buys and consume, I am never taken into the dark side of what most would call "covetousness" or "greed".
For me its a personal choice and perspective, we can only eat, drink, wear, drive so much. Being able to share is the greatest fulfillment one can ever have. So I guess I always view my work as mere gesture of giving to what the buying public wants, making my boss happy and making it easier for my sales staff to sell.
