To be a success in advertising you must want to fill other people with a passion for possession.
Advertising prods people into wanting more and better things. Of course advertising makes people dissatisfied with what they have - makes them raise their sights. Mighty good thing it does. Nothing could be worse for the United States than 200,000,000 satisfied Americans.
deferring gratification is a good definition of being civilized.
Creativity often consists of merely turning up what is already there.
It's smart to be thrifty.
Of course advertising creates wants. Of course it makes people discontented, dissatisfied. Satisfaction with things as they are would defeat the American Dream.
