Money & Happiness

Growing up, my family had money. There wasn't anything

that I couldn't buy and there wasn't any place that I couldn't go!

I was led to believe that having a big house, a fancy car, and lotsa

money was what u were supposed to strive for as an adult.

The bigger the house u had, the more successful u were and the

more respected u would be within your community.

That’s what I believed at least, until my family started

experiencing the tough times. I learned that having a big house,

a nice car, and lotsa money are not the things that make me happy.

Something important is that my family is in good health, all of

us could go thru the hard times together.

It is an oft-repeated axiom that money doesn’t equal to everything.

That’s why I used to think that money cannot buy happiness.

While this is certainly true, poverty will not buy Happiness either.

Some people become very wealthy, yet struggle to enjoy their lives.

On the other hand, some manage to go through their life with

very few money problems simply because they are able to make the

most of what they have. I will not say who they are.

A very good friend of mine told me that the more money u have,

the more responsibility u have. It just depends on what kind of

responsibility u really want. I will not say that all rich people are

miserable or all non-rich people are happy. In reality, there are

probably proportionally equal percentages of happy and unhappy people

in both groups. Ideally one should try to combine both

prosperity and happiness.

However, this isn’t something easy as different people might

have different views on money. As for me, money is something but

not everything as money can be the source of happiness but it also

can be the root of evil. Money itself is neither good nor bad.

It is the person who uses money that can be regarded as good or bad.

It’s april fool today and I’m being fooled badly by those who I used

to regard them as ‘family members’. Money doesn’t equal everything?

Is it so? Once again, I realised that I’m just too naïve to have such

perception while people around me are trying to show me the reality

of life. They had shown me how realistic human being can be and

how people will act when it comes to money issues. They proved to me

that it’s easier to say than to do!

Money doesn't GUARANTEE happiness, but it sure makes it easier.

And I guarantee, NOT having money is guaranteed to make you UNHAPPY!!

If giving up my dreams, my hope and my wishes to UK

would probably make all of U happy, I might do as U wish!

If this were the SURPRISE 21st birthday present,

I think I should thanks all of U who had fooled me badly!

Money is the root of evil for U to achieve ur HAPPINESS!

I learned something and I’m so regret on everything!

Pissed off!
