A President in a state university makes about half million a year. A Medical Professor can make 200 -300k a year. While a football/basketball coach can make a million a year. A state governor makes 100k per year. So, money does not justify social status.
地位来自你个人对自己的看法, 你对别人尊重, 自然别人也尊重你。当然如果你对某些权贵低头下气, 那是你还没有领悟到人人生而平等的意义。
