I Just Wanna Be Successful

For many people success is attaining physical possessions. In Drake's song, "Successful," he speaks of "money... cars... [and] clothes," inferring that those are ideals of success. Expensive material belongings, such as those previously stated, are commonly thought of as symbols of achieving high positions of power. This idea consistently portrayed by famous celebrities, singers, etc. makes the hoi polloi feel as though they need these things in order to be considered successful. Therefore, the common people put their job and obtaining these goods before their family and friends, causing them to fall into corruption. In my opinion, people should not be judged by their physical belongings, but by their character and morals.
