Why Money Important To Us?
Money is the means by which we may fulfill our purpose in a
larger and better way
With money, we can obtain an advanced education that may aid us
in the development of genius and extraordinary achievements. It
gives us the leisure to devote a part of our time to culture and
art. Money can provide a powerful diversion for all or our
troubles by permitting distraction from the anxieties that
assail us.
With money, we can prevent ourselves from sufferings that come
with poverty like cold and hunger. While sickness can not be
totally obliterated by money, it can be considerably relieved by
it. Giving away money to charity can also provide us with the
satisfaction of relieving others from suffering.
To conserve wealth we must try to get a thorough understanding
of all that we may possibly do, in an honorable and legitimate
way. Even to those who have inherited wealth, idleness can be a
certain cause of ruin. A great fortune needs genuine labor for
efficient administration. Those who leave this duty to strangers
may pay a penalty for their negligence. This is why a rich man,
who wants to preserve and increase his fortune, should be his
own business manager.
Even artists must know the price that their work is worth. It is
necessary for the artist to be a businessman in order to have
the right to be a genius. History is full of example of this.
The great Shakespeare labored as a theatre manager to obtain the
necessary leisure to produce his dramatic masterpieces. Edison
worked as a telegraph operator to pay the bills while he
"moonlighted" as an inventor. .
Everyone should, in his own way, make an effort to amass some
money. Some will apply money to their daily wants. Others seek
to swell the fortune that they desire to leave to their
children. Some only desire money so they can devote it to some
noble enterprise or charity. Finally, a large number see money
chiefly as a means of immediate gratification.
However, the main point is that no matter how much you earn, you
must know how to manage your money effectively. If you cannot do
so and your expenditure keeps going every month, you will not
have enough of it to apple to the causes that you choose.
