I wish your comment was at the top.

Money as metric for success leads to destruction.

Someone who helps a stranger is successful.

I wish more people would understand that everything that devides us as humans leads to destruction. Everything that unites us leads to good things, which I call success.

Warren Buffett's definition of success is not purely money -- if you look into his life had cares much more about teaching and giving back (both with the giving pledge and one of the largest philanthropists of all time). He just happens to be good at and enjoy making money -- I don't think his advice is less relevant if you see the context behind it, but many just take it out of context.
