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.

金錢與成功
大部分人都會(huì)夢(mèng)想成為成功的人。然而，對(duì)每個(gè)人而言，成功的意義并不相同。很多人把成功視為金錢上的成功，并認(rèn)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(huì)變得有錢，也可能不會(huì)，但他們很可能會(huì)過著快樂的生活。有些人通過為社會(huì)做貢獻(xiàn)而找尋到意義。他們可能創(chuàng)造世界記錄、治愈疾病、創(chuàng)作出優(yōu)美的藝術(shù)品，或者為日常生活帶來更多便利。還有些人在教育別人、幫助窮人或養(yǎng)育子女的同時(shí)得到滿足感。當(dāng)他們養(yǎng)育的子女表現(xiàn)優(yōu)異時(shí)，他們就覺得很有成就感。另一方面，財(cái)富并不保證會(huì)帶來快樂或意義。不論一個(gè)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(gè)人的成功的方式有很多，而物質(zhì)上的財(cái)富只是其中之一。有些人真的會(huì)在為自己或其繼承人積累財(cái)富的過程中找到滿足及意義。對(duì)這些人而言，這是衡量成功的好方法。但對(duì)其他人而言，堅(jiān)持個(gè)人對(duì)成功的定義更重要。不論我們?nèi)绾魏饬孔约旱某晒?，我們都必須設(shè)定自己的目標(biāo)，然后努力去達(dá)到。惟有如此，我們才能真正取得自己想要的成功。
