Some times it does. But I have seen some people gain great wealth and still be themselves and still shopping at wal mart.

How would you "let" a person do that - isn't that something they do for themselves...
But anyway, people take success differently and money - money changes people and can be the root of all evil. They forget who they were before all of it and abandon everything they ever knew and were just for the next $. Sure it can lead to greed - the more they make, they more they spend, the more they spend, the more they want and think they need. I think that it depends on the person and their vision of success - Most people who yearn for more do it partly, for success and wealth. People always want more money, etc - so I think that it totally depends on the individual and how grounded they are- greedy people always show themselves one way or the other; whether it be with their own lives or with the success of others - what they "want" from those others who succeeded.
There are those that yearn for more - just to make more money and there are those that yearn for more to broaden themselves as a human being, education, life experience. Some of the hardest workers don't make that much money - and deserve to make more than some others do - but they don't but they never stop trying and reaching higher to attain their goals. Basically it comes down to what that person is all about - are they doing it for the money - which would cause greed or because it is their passion - something they love - which causes them to always yearn for more. Some start out one way and lose track of that passion - get caught up just about the money - depends.

I don't quite get your question. If you let a person exceed in success and wealth, can this lead the person to greed or yearning for more? Are you implying that, if a person is limited in success and wealth, the person will not be greedy ot yearn for more?

If the person has been taught that success and wealth is the only thing that can bring happiness the yes it will lead to greed. However if a person believes other things can bring happiness then this will only be a benefit and where ever they end up on the chain of success will be just fine.

Easy come easy go. LET is the key word.
In other words... if a person EARNS success and wealth, this will lead to a greater appreciation for what they have and will make them fell REALLY good when they are able to SHARE their success and wealth with other..
If you LET a person do something, they will come to expect it for little or no work and will not be as willing to share it because it was givin to them, it was meant ONLY for them.
What the heck to I know? What is success and how do you define wealth. As my father said to my mother, "With you I am the richest man in the world."

The yearning for more is greed. The answer is yes, people are rarely satisfied with what they have. In fact, it is frowned upon to be satisfied. You are labeled as stagnant and conformist.

It doesn't have to lead to either one. Sometimes it leads to happiness in life, and giving millions back to the community - Michael Dell is an example of this.

it is that person's choice to want to achieve achieve achieve in success and wealth, no one can stop them. yes if they should achieve to this degree, it can be interpreted as greed or it can be interpreted as the person being a high achiever with great standards. your question..'if you let a person...' well, it's not that you let them or not, you don't have control of this person to let them or not let them.

It depends on the person. There are a lot of people that don't forget where they came from, and they give back a lot of what they earn.
