What Are Your Opinions About Money?

　　Believe it or not, almost everybody loves money. But money doesn‘t mean everything. You can not fulfill your dream with money only. Money is only the means of exchange. We can hardly say money brings happiness. But without money we are certainly unhappy and can do nothing.

　　In this world people sell something for money. If you are a teacher, you can earn your life by selling knowledge. A worker sells his labor and a monk sells spiritual comfort for people‘s lives. Even a beggar can sell something for money — he sells his dignity.

　　Usually we get the things we need by selling something. And the money we get differs according to the service we give. If the customers receive good service from us, they will pay us well. With this money we can buy the things we need. To be rich means you can buy almost everything you want. We are well-off when we are able to afford the things we need.

　　Quite a few think that they make more money to get more happiness. Some even say, ―If I make one million dollars, I will be very happy and I can do whatever I like.‖ When they reach the goal, they find themselves unhappy. A great ancient Chinese thinker said, ―Never be fettered by too much money nor be chopped by poverty. ‖ So I personally think a well-off life is an ideal one. A comfortable life is the most important.
