It is said that money makes world go round. That is partly true because everything we need is traded by money. Money is the major cause of our daily work and saving. Thus, it is true how much we earn significantly influence qualities of our life. However, I don’t think the size of one’s pay cheque totally determines one’s success.
First of all, there are myriad of reasons why we pursue our life, not just money. Even though you have enormous fortune, it does not guaranty your success if what you have now does not match with the dream you have pursued. Because, for human beings, dream is a reflection of one’s internal and latent desire he or she have wanted to be. Only those who accomplish their dreams thorough their efforts can be satisfied with themselves and success. We can see easily people whose money destroyed their lives and put them into miserable abyss of despair.
Secondly, when we abandon the habit of ruthless pursuing money, peace and happiness which is the ultimate goal of life can be achieved. If you are subjected under the pressure of success, it means that you are not success. However, there is no limit of man’s desire and avarice, ruthless seeking of money just will bring about the limitless vicious cycle. For example, venerable Beop-Joung who was one of the great influential minds of Korea and passed away few months ago, always claimed the non-possession to get rid of one’s self-seeking and meaningless pursuing of money. Even though, he left only a few of cloths and writing tools, it is no doubt that he had lived successful life.
