Some people said that money is everything. Money is like a king in this world. As we know money has a big role in our life. It help us to get something, as a medium of exchange. The history of money start from a thousands of years ago. The idea for money starting from barter (exchange things), goods as a money and until now it form as a paper or coins. With a variety of currencies around the world. Who's got a lot of money in the world, of course the rich people or a millionaire.
Are they happy with their money? I don't think so. Although they have a lot of money, but we don't know inside their heart. Some of them can't sleep well because always think about their business. They lost happiness. when families need them they could not attend. For daily activities filled with meeting and run the business. They don't have time to hang out with their family. They always came late. They don't have time to eat together with family. Breakfast, and dinner is not there in the schedule. what are they searching for? the answer is MONEY.
There are many things can't bought by the money. Although we have a lot of money, but there is no happiness inside our heart. We have to consider about that. I have a list to show that money can't buy everything, like:
Loosing Time
Money will not restore the time that has passed. After the day had changed, the last 24 hours will be lost and will never return. Therefore, try to use every opportunity to express your love to your couple and family. before the time passed or you will be regret.
Happiness
It sound easy, money can't buy happiness. But this is reality. Money can make you feel happy when you paid a luxurious vacation, buying the latest electronics, beautiful penthouse or the fastest car. But all the money will never be able to bring real happiness which comes from within our hearts. This kind of happiness only comes from a happy relationship and the support and love from family.
The Children Happiness
The responsibility of parents is to provide appropriate food and clothing to the children. And it need money also. But money can't give a sense of security, responsibility, good attitude, and intelligence for children. I think this is the result of the blessing and attention we devote to them and good things that we teach to them. The money is helping us meet some aspects of parenting, but time has proven that the basic needs of each child is how much time given by the parents, not the money.
Love
There is another fact that money can't buy love. With the money we can make the people interested with us, but the real love comes from mutual respect, caring, sharing experiences, and opportunities to grow together. That's why many couples who married for money, didn't last long.
Acceptance
To be accepted by the social environment, you don't need the money. If you want to receive by the society try to focus your energy to make yourself valuable to the neighborhood with a friend in joy and sorrow. Concerned about social issues can help us more acceptable. give more time and your energy to help others. There is the real meaning of life.
Health
We need money to maintenance costs and to buy medicines. But money can't replace the lost health. That's way the others saying better prevent than cure. We should apply this suggestion. Let's start exercising, stop smoking, and many other things that we know to maintain our health. The money is useless when we get sick. We can't eat anything or everything controlled by medicine and doctor. We can't free doing activities because all day we spent in the room or Hospital. So be happy for you where still healthy today.
Success
Success only comes from hard work, determination, and a little luck. But some people who achieve success from corruption, this is the exception. There is not success for me but it stealing. Thereis a small aspect of the business can bring success using the money, such as training or buying equipment, but the success comes from doing your own business with your effort.
Talent
We are born with certain talents. With the money we can do just to maximum our talent such as learning music, buy music instrument. However, experts say, to become experts in their fields, we need talent. That's why talent can't buy with the money. That's a gift from God. As a human we have to develop our talent well.
Peace
If money could buy peace, maybe we no longer we hear about the war. But the real fact said that money become the source of conflict and hostility. To get money isn't the few people who tried in a fraudulent manner even fight with each other. Competition in getting the money often comes around us. That's not good for us. Don't let the money influence us doing bad attitude. I hope we all in the right way.
The conclusion from this hub is we can learn much that money isn't everything for us. The important thing is family, friend, love and god. If we walk in the right way we can find the meaning of life and certainly know that there are many things around us which support our life. Don't ever think that money is a god. I hope you understand. My pray for you all....amen
