Does wealth make us rich anymore? | Stephen Hawking

30 July 2016 Leave a Comment

“People are starting to question the value of pure wealth. Is knowledge or experience more important than money? Can possessions stand in the way of fulfilment? Can we truly own anything, or are we just transient custodians?

“These questions are leading to a shift in behaviour which, in turn, is inspiring some groundbreaking new enterprises and ideas.

“Our planet and the human race face multiple challenges. We will need to adapt, rethink, refocus and change some of our fundamental assumptions about what we mean by wealth, by possessions, by mine and yours. Just like children, we will have to learn to share. We can do it.

“Humans are endlessly resourceful, optimistic and adaptable. If we broaden our definition of wealth to include knowledge, natural resources, and human capacity, and if, at the same time, we learn to share each of those resources more fairly, then we stand a far better chance of being around in 100 years to continue to ask these questions that inspire us today.”

Watch the 4-minute video clip as Stephen Hawking helps launch the new thought leadership platform, UNLIMITED,so named because there must be no limits to the questions, or the answers….
