What does a salesman mean to you? Well to me, it is someone
who will tell you about a product to try to get you buy it. They can tell you
anything you want to hear just as long you buy what they have. So really we are
all salesmen. Well sell our friends our personalities, stories, and advice. To
our loved ones we always sell our love and compassion when times are hard.
“Death of a Salesman” is about a salesman who is living his whole
life regretting and trying to relive his past. When Charley, Willy’s neighbor,
tells him, “the only thing you got in this world is what you can sell,” he
means that all life is about everything about you and what you have in your
life and not about what you have in your life that you can sell. Willy does not
understand this concept because he has the mindset that he has to sell
everything. In other words he has to have money to apparently be happy.
Today’s world has changed this concept majorly. Instead of
having to have money to be happy and that is all, the world wants material
things such as cars, houses, and high class vacations. Everyday extraordinary things
happen in our lives and it just passes by without us even noticing because we
always have our mind set on a goal instead of enjoying the pleasures of life.
The reason people are always doing this is because they have made mistakes and
live their entire lives trying to make up for them, just like Willy.
Every day you are selling something you just cannot see it
through your eyes.
