Man is always chasing money, treasures, wealths... This obssession to become richer, to be more powerful, to dominate others has often brought along wars and conflicts, sometimes worlwide spread!!!
However, you can't always do things for money or any kind of reward. You must carry out certain tasks because you feel like doing them such as me trying to help my students or them working during the summer time. Another example is Indiana Jones, who accomplished his researches on behalf of science and for humankind. 😁😁😁😁
