As far as I recall there were just two choices when asked about a dream life. It was either money or power. As the world got bigger people began to deviate into their own answers. Such that now, there is actually four over-arching options. These reductionist choices are money, power, intellect or lifestyle. These are what you will be known as by your family and your community like ‘the rich one’, the powerful one, the intelligent one and the ‘neat/cool’ one. All are influential depending on the height that is known and their own personal record.
