Money and Success
Most people dream of being a success in life. However, this does not mean the same thing to everyone. Many equate success with financial success and believe that only those who earn a lot of money can be considered successful. But there are other ways to measure success. In my opinion, it is definitely possible to be successful without earning a lot of money as long as one lives a meaningful life. Some people find meaning in life simply by doing something they enjoy. They may or may not become wealthy, but they are very likely to lead a happy life. Others find meaning by making a contribution to the society. They may set a world record, cure a disease, create a beautiful work of art, or bring more convenience to everyday life. Still others find satisfaction in educating others, helping the poor, or raising a family. When the ones they nurture do well, they feel successful. Riches, on the other hand, do not guarantee happiness or meaning. No matter how wealthy a man is, he is unlikely to feel his life has been a true success if he is unhealthy, alone, or simply bored. To sum up, there are many ways to measure a person's success, and material wealth is just one of them. Some people really do find satisfaction and meaning in amassing a fortune for themselves and their heirs, and for them, this is a good way to measure their success. But for other people, it is important to adhere to a more personal definition of success. However, we measure our won success, we must set our own goals and then strive to reach them. Only in this way can we truly consider ourselves successful.
參考譯文:
金錢與成功
大部分人都會夢想成為成功的人。然而,對每個人而言,成功的意義並不相同。很多人把成功視為金錢上的成功,並認為只有賺很多錢的人才是成功的。但是,還有其他方式可以用來衡量成功。依我之見,就算沒有賺很多錢,只要過著有意義的生活,也是成功的。
有些人只要做自己喜歡做的事情就能找到生命的意義。他們可能會變得有錢,也可能不會,但他們很可能會過著快樂的生活。有些人通過為社會做貢獻而找尋到意義。他們可能創造世界記錄、治癒疾病、創作出優美的藝術品,或者為日常生活帶來便利。還有些人在教育別人、幫助窮人或養育子女的同時得到滿足感。當他們養育的子女表現優異時,他們就覺得很有成就感。另一方面,財富並不保證會帶來快樂或意義。不論一個人多有錢,如果他不健康、孤單一人,甚至覺得無聊,就不可能覺得自己的生活很成功。
總之,衡量一個人的成功的方式有很多,而物質上的財富只是其中之一。有些人真的會在為自己或其繼承人積累財富的過程中找到滿足及意義。對這些人而言,這是衡量成功的好方法。但對其他人而言,堅持個人對成功的定義更重要。不論我們如何衡量自己的成功,我們都必須設定自己的目標,然後努力去達到。惟有如此,我們才能真正取得自己想要的成功。
