Success

1) A young man of humble origins came to New York from the Midwest to seek his fortune. He
dreamed, in the American way, of becoming a millionaire. He tried his luck on Wall Street. He
was diligent and shrewd and, when he had to be, devious. He put together the deal and he did
some
things
with
an
electronics
acquisition
that
wouldn’t
bear
explaining.
He
succeeded
even
beyond his dream: he made twelve million dollars.
2) At first the yo
ung man assumed that everything was working out splendidly. “Isn’t it grand?”
he said to his wife, once it was apparent that he had made twelve million dollars. His wife told
him that it wasn’t grand, and he was a nobody.

3)
“But that’s impossible,” the young man said. “I’m a rich person. We live in an era that celebrates
rich people. Rich people are shown in the newspapers in the company of movie stars and famous

novelists and distinguished dress designers. The names of the richest corporate raiders are known
to every schoolboy. There are rich real estate sharks whose faces appear on the covers of glossy
magazines.” But his wife said that his face would not, because he was a nobody. When he stressed
the fact that he had twelve million dollars, his wife retorted that a lot of people did, but they were
still nobodies.
4)
“I
could
buy
our
way
onto
the
committees
of
important
charity
balls,”
the
young
man
said,

()

“then
we’d
be
mentioned
in
the
columns.”
“Don’t
kid
yourself,”
his
wife
said.
“The
important
committees
are
already
filled
up
with
people
who
are
really
rich.
People
like
us
would
end up
working
on
something
like
a
dinner-dance
to
benefit
the
American
Psoriasis
(
牛
皮
癣
)
Foundation.” The young man mentioned that he owned a co
-op apartment on Fifth Avenue that
was worth two million dollars. His wife argued that, to a certain extent, two million-dollar co- ops
were a dime a dozen. Then the young man boasted of owning a stretch limousine and said it was
twenty-one and a half feet long. His wife brushed the idea aside, saying that nobody famous had
ever ridden in something like that ,and neither Henry Kissinger nor Calvin Klein had ever heard
of him, so he was still a nobody.
5) The young man was silent for a while. “Are you disappointed in me?” he finally said to his wife.
“Of course I’m disappointed in you,” she said. “When you asked me to marry you , you said you
would surely amount to something. How was I to know that yo
u’d turn out to be a nobody?”

6) For a moment the young man looked defeated. Then he squared his shoulders and cleared his
throat. “I’ll make them pay attention, ” he said. “I’ll buy a professional football team and argue a
lot with the coach in public. Ce
lebrities will join me to watch big games from the owner’s box.”
The
wife
ridiculed
him,
saying
that
nobody
could
buy
a
professional
football
team
for
twelve
million dollars, because professional football teams cost big bucks.
7) “Then I’ll buy a magazine and appoint myself chief columnist,” the young man said. “A tiny
but exceedingly flattering picture of me will run next to my column every week. The owners of
professional football teams will invite me to watch big games from the owner’s box.” The wife
believed
that
he
might
be
able
to
buy
one
of
those
weekly-shoppers
throwaways
for
twelve
million dollars, but not a real magazine. One couldn’t buy a real magazine for chicken feed.

8) The young man was very much hurt and asked his wife whether twelve million dollars were
chicken feed. But his wife insisted, “it’s not big bucks.”

9)
“But
that’s
not
fair,”
the
young
man
said.
“I’m
a
young
man
of
humble
origins
who
made
twelve
million
dollars.
I
succeeded
even
beyond
my
dream.
”

“Some
of
those
things
you
did
wi
th
the
electronics
acquisition
probably
weren’t
fair
either,”
his
wife
said.
“Fair
isn’t
being
measured these days. What they measure is money.” Then the young man said, if that was the case,
he would get more money by going back to Wall Street and making fifty million dollars.
10)
But
before
the
young
man
could
make
fifty
million
dollars
a
man
from
the
Securities
and
Exchange Commission came and arrested him for having committed insider-trading violations in
the electronics acquisition.
11) The young man was taken away from his office in handcuffs. A picture on the front page of
the afternoon paper showed him leaving his arraignment trying to hide his face behind an $$850
Italian overcoat. A long article in the morning paper used him as an example of a new breed of
Wall Street traders who were the victims of their own greed, probably because of their humble
origins. His friends and associates avoided him.
12) Only his wife stuck by him. She tried to see the bright side. “For someone with only twelve
