‘Money is the most important thing in life.’ Do you agree?
Money, fame, a successful career; these are among the things many people would consider to be the most important things in life, but is it true that these factors contribute to a better life? Most people agree that the most important thing in life is happiness, regardless of how much wealth one possesses.
The problem with most people is that in their pursuit of this state of mind, they often sacrifice too much, at times sacrificing even happiness itself along the way! As a result, just when they think they have finally achieved their goal of finding joy and satisfaction, such as by getting to the peak of one's career, they soon discover that their attempts were all in vain.
The extent to which money contributes to happiness is probably the most misunderstood phenomenon on earth. Money is very important to have in our society, but as a result, it is highly overrated by most people. It can bring a lot of happiness with it, but it has to be used responsibly. Moreover various researches have repeatedly proven that money can't buy you happiness but, a survey reveals today, that being in control of your finances most certainly does. A study conducted at ‘Aviva’ (largest insurance company in the UK) shows that people earning more than £50,000 are not blessed with more self-esteem or confidence, while good health is seen as twice as important as the capacity to earn more money.
Likewise those who see fame as the ultimate step in life; soon get disillusioned. Drug overdose and suicides are particularly high among very famous people and this is because fame and success does not mean internal happiness and peace. This is not to say that money and financial success are of no use, but they shouldn’t be the major focus in life.
On the other hand, failure in getting these factors in proper order leads so many persons to frustrations. This is because every person has a set of beliefs, or mindset which guides them as
