Many people believe that it is important to make large amounts of money, while others are satisfied to earn a comfortable living. Analyze each viewpoint and take a stand. Give specific reasons for your position.

 

Are you satisfied with the money you earn currently[Mf1] ? It’s probable to hear the majority[Mf2]  say “definitely no” while a small patch of people whispering[Mf3]  “quite so”. Indeed,different people hold completely different views on monetary matters, [Mf4] especially this one. What are the two attitudes anyway? An analysis of both viewpoints may help us get a deeper perspective on the issue.[Mf5] 

 

Let’s turn to the majority first[Mf6] . It is no denying that [Mf7] many people believe it is crucial to[Mf8]  make large amounts of money, some of whom even set their life goals as such[Mf9] . It is not without reasons.[Mf10]  After all[Mf11] , money provides us with better living conditions. Bigger houses, faster cars, better education, advanced computers, appealing travel destinations or simply a nice meal all require the presence of money.[Mf12]  Since the development in all aspects, from prototypes [Mf13] for a new cell phone to the latest educational cruise to Alaska, never stops along its path for us to catch our breath[Mf14] , humans are constantly running after these exponentially-growing achievements[Mf15] . Therefore[Mf16] , a desire to earn more money seems natural, in the pursuit of a better life.

 

What about those whispers? Some people hold[Mf17]  that they are satisfied to earn a comfortable living. Their life goals lie not in[Mf18]  the money they earn, but in life itself. The quality of life, they hold, although sometimes inevitably [Mf19] connected with money, is based upon our attitudes toward life and how we enjoy life. Many people in this category cherish[Mf20]  the interpersonal relationships and spiritual pleasures in life more than material gaining[Mf21] .

 

In my point of view[Mf22] , I prefer the latter choice[Mf23] . Perhaps the biggest drawback[Mf24]  to a money-pursuing life is that we are so busy with making money that we spare no time in[Mf25]  enjoying our life, which basically loses the meaning of [Mf26] all the money earned. Also[Mf27] , once mired in[Mf28]  earning money, people have a vague idea[Mf29]  about how much is “enough”, thus propelled by[Mf30]  the motivation to work harder and harder. There is essentially no end to earning money, which further deprives[Mf31]  us of the right to stop and smell the roses. Take my family for example.[Mf32]  We don’t really care whether we spend the night in a grand tour[Mf33]  to Europe, or a simple meal at home. What really matters is how [Mf34] we communicate with each other. I believe sharing each other’s feelings is much more important as well as meaningful than the extravagance[Mf35]  bought.

 

To sum up, [Mf36] I strongly agree that it is through the appreciation of life itself that we find the ultimate meaning of earning money.Comfortable living is what we desire, after all.
