According to medical researchers, more and more young athletes are taking potentially harmful performance-enhancing drugs in order to excel in sports.
When college students in a recent survey were asked:If you knew you'd win or make the team by taking steroids, but in five years you would get sick, would you still do it?, nearly all said yes. When the question was changed to `if you knew you would die within five years,'65% still said yes.
The above realistic poll goes to show a warped view of success among this present generation.
It is true that we all need a measure of financial security, but is genuine success majorly contingent on the amassing of wealth?
Can abundant wealth and fame that comes with it guarantee true peace of mind and happiness?
