In "Million Pounds", is Henry's success due to personal factors or social environment?

If a person's needs are met, then he will start to look for new pursuits. For Henry, staying in high-end luxury hotels, attending high-end parties, and being drunk every day are all what he wants to pursue. However, this sought-after life is not indefinite. A month later, Henry will return the virtual check and return to a quiet life, possibly even to his former poverty.

Therefore, Henry believed that he could not blindly wait for the position promised by the two old gentlemen, and he must find a way out for himself. Therefore, he decided to rescue his former colleague Lloyd, who was dragged down by the stock, and collect commissions from it. It was suggested that Henry Lloyd would sell shares in his name and that he would vouch for Lloyd's character to those buyers. In Henry's opinion, with the public reception and his popularity in London, this was not difficult to achieve. As he expected, after Henry's guarantee, people bought a large number of stocks crazily, and Henry earned a commission of 20 pounds. Even if the two old gentlemen don't keep their word, Henry will no longer roam the streets of London.

In fact, Henry's huge change has two factors: one is his own consciousness, and the other is the pursuit of the public. If a million pounds fell from the sky and accidentally fell into Henry's hands, he would surely make a fortune from this virtual check. Henry used to be a poor young man, dressed in rags on the streets and no one asked him. However, when everyone knew that Henry was a millionaire, everyone wanted to curry favor with him and couldn't wait to give him their hearts. Living in a "money first" society, Henry knew that as long as you have money, you can talk about self-esteem, and as long as you have money, you can be respected. If one does not have a long-term plan, then worry is just around the corner. This sentence is very suitable to describe Henry. If Henry is immersed in a luxurious life every day, he still knows his situation. He knows that he must make a long-term plan for his future. Therefore, Henry's rescue of Lloyd is not only out of kindness, but also to help himself. As Henry's popularity increased, more and more people knew of Henry's existence, and more and more people were eager to get to know him.

In fact, it was no accident that Henry was chosen by the two old gentlemen. Before confirming Henry's identity, they observed many people in the hotel. Therefore, Henry was a carefully selected object by the two old gentlemen. Judging from the selection of the old gentleman, Henry has the advantages of honesty and intelligence, and these advantages are also necessary factors for Henry's success. A person's success is by no means a unilateral result, but a combination of many factors such as oneself, the surrounding environment, and the social environment. However, the biggest impact lies in your own thinking and decision-making on the matter itself. In Henry's case, he can enjoy a luxurious and desirable life without any worries, and when the time comes, he will return to his old life. However, Henry was not a short-sighted man. Behind this experience, he felt the charm of money and took this opportunity to change his situation.
