An old film (1987) called “Wall Street” with Michael Douglas in the role of Gordon Gekko is a most inspirational film that I have watched over and over again…
While the producers of the movie Wall Street clearly intended to portray Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) as a villain, ironically enough, thanks to this movie, he became a source of inspiration for countless…
He (Gordon Gekko) is the quintessential alpha who simply has to win in any endeavor he undertakes… granted, he is not a paramount of virtue or morals… but, he is the epitome of drive and determination…
The high point of the film is when he gives the following speech in front of the stock holders of the Teldar Paper Corp.

“The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much.”
