material wealth is a sign of success in china today
With the development of our national economy,more and more people have become rich.They have luxurious cars and big houses.Some believe this great possession of material wealth is a sign of success,while others strongly hold that wealth cannot be the only measure of success.In my opinion,whether a person is successful or not cannot be solely judged by his material wealth.
It is true that many wealthy people are successful businessman,but many other successful people are obviously not rich.Yangliwei,the space hero,is a good example.He works hard and has brought great glory to our country,but still he draws a modest salary.Another example is the bus conductress Li suli.She distinguishes herself for her eagerness to help the ordinary people and provide better service so that she has been honored as a national model work.No doubt,working as a bus conductress,she could never compare with those business people in material wealth.
Measuring success by wealth alone will make people neglect the spiritual side of life.If one’s only goal is life is to become richm,doing nothing like serving others or making any worthwhile achievements to the society,the he certainty cannot be regarded as successful.In the public eyes,those who spend their lives only striving for bigger houses,expensive clothing and entertainment are the biggest losers of all.
In conclusion,making money is indicative of success,but it doesn’t mean to be the only way to success.The most important things to achieve success is to work hard and make contributions to our society
