Only Money Talks

You know in life only money does all the talking. Only money talks in this world.

Why are you making such a cryptic statement?

It’s so evident when you have money, getting into the limelight is so simple.


Please explain your statement. 

The heir to a hotel chain has opened restaurants all over the world and people are praising the places.


But that is natural the heir knows the business so the people are right.

Yes but the same heir is opening a high fashion store and doesn’t have a clue about fashion, just deep pockets and the media is praising the venture.


We will have to see its success.

Another garment exporter’s wife has suddenly launched her fashion brand with export surplus garments and a fancy name and the media is going ga-ga about the clothes without knowing that they are export rejects.


You must blame the media for that, as they are uneducated.

Another rich lady has launched a fashion website and is now a regular Page 3 celeb since her family is on the rich list. She has no knowledge of fashion or e-commerce but the media is raving about her achievements.


Very sad maybe the media is hankering for advertisements from the lady and are therefore praising her. 

There seems to be no honesty in the business where real talents are languishing.

 

If it is a toss up between talent and money it is normally the latter that scores.

The wife of a great doctor who could string a few sentences together launched a lifestyle magazine and was its editor. There was a grand launch party for the first issue and the media lavished praise on her talents.


Oh dear were there any takers for the magazine?

I don’t know. There are heirs to one of the biggest empires in the country who are featured on the covers of glossies since they have cut discs, are heading corporations and are performing at shows.


Now you can’t blame them their money is doing all the talking and the media is lapping it up.

There is supposed to be a well-known, best selling, award-winning author who the media adores but it is believed she has a battery of writers doing her work.


As long as what is coming out is being read there should be no problem.

There is the daughter of a superstar who has turned suddenly into a prolific writer and has acquired celebrity status after being in oblivion for years and the media is featuring her everywhere.


Maybe she had hidden talents that have suddenly emerged.

The wife of one of the hottest stars has turned into an expert lifestyle designer and is praised for her talents by the media.


She must be creative that is why.

Not at all she has been a housewife for years and now suddenly she is a world-class expert on everything.


Well it seems you are right there are so many authors, fashion experts, retailers, designers who are best in their genre but they are not featured in the media because they don’t have money doing the talking.
