Theme: Change

The City Daily Photo theme for October is "Change." This month is traditionally a time of change in weather, and (in northern places, at least), in the color of leaves. I wanted to avoid the obvious so ....

I photographed some change. I had an ulterior motive though. I wanted to make a meme to respond to folks who think the economy is the most important thing, and who believe the common myth that money is success.

"It is said on Wall Street, correctly, 'money has no conscience,' but don't allow that truism to let you ignore your own conscience, nor to alter your own conduct and character."
~ John Bogle, founder of Vanguard Group.

As for success, I thought about it long ago while taking a class in which I had to answer the question, "What is success?" Well, the first rule of success is to survive. So obviously you need the essentials of life: water, food, shelter. Beyond that, my belief is that Success is living in accordance with your values. It is not how much gold you have, or cars, or even your social standing.

Money has no conscience. Do you?
