money would be more worth it at the end but to be immortalized in history sounds like a more rewarding thing. what am i gonna do with all that money once im dead? but if i become the first to do something my name will be still known even after im dead.
Yes yes, but think about it this way, not only do you have a secured future, but you also have the option to break a world record anyhow or even have a chance to make a name for yourself using that money in any possible way. Many people out there have talent but no money, who knows if that penniless begger down at the street could be the guy who can discover a cure for AIDs if given the funds.
What I'm trying to say is that having the money gives you more options.
