| My Understanding Of Wealth
In today’s China, people usually have a complex feeling about wealth. Some people think wealth, or simply speaking, money is the root of all evils. For example, during China’s reform and opening in the last two decades, more and more corruption scandals are reported by the news media. Those officials, who were faithful to Marxism in the past, can’t fend the temptation to get money. And many merchants in today’s market use all kinds of methods; even cheat the consumers, to get as much money as possible. Money seems to be the most powerful thing in our society. Other people think wealth is good, which can make our people rich and our country strong. Every year we calculate our country’s GDP. GDP is the symbol of the economic power of a country, so we are glad to see our country’s GDP excess ten million dollars in the year of 2000. In fact, GDP, or Gross Democratic Product simply tells us how much wealth our country possesses. In my opinion, I have two stages of attitude towards wealth, which can be concluded as No more than what I need to eat and to prove myself. It depends on my values, study and life experience. First, for my family members and myself as common people in the society, I should have enough money to meet the needs of daily life. I should have enough money to buy food to eat, clothes to wear, house to live in, and other necessities. I also need enough money to take care of my parents and children. If five million Yuan were enough for my whole life, I would work hard to earn it without doubt and complaint. Yet I am not interested in earning another five million Yuan, even if it would make me the richest man of the city, or let me clime into the upper class of the society. The wise man in the ancient times has told us that thrift can make life cheerful and meaningful. I think it is necessary for us to keep it up, especially in a world of materialization today. Second, because I am a student who majors marketing in the business College of Wuhan University, I will either work in a company or manage a company myself. All the companies have a unique goal---to create wealth. Therefore I will doubtlessly try my best to earn as much money as possible for my company. Wealth, at this stage, is no longer personal wealth, and the result of my management, and my application of what I studied in the university. Earning money or not is a good method to measure whether I am a good student, a successful manager, and I will try my best to prove myself. Philosopher says Wealth is a good servant but a bad master. Dealing with wealth is an important part of our daily life, and I think we all should have a clear understanding of wealth. ----  欢迎来我的主页
