Recently the controversy has been brought into focus. We cannot deny the fact that money is one of the yardsticks against which how much one has achiev

3、ed is measured. However, in stark contrast, many people would rather stick to an opposite view.The rhetoric that only when people have earned a colossal sum of money can they be regarded successful is not only unreasonable, unconvincing, or misleading but also absurd and ridiculous in that it has ob

4、viously neglected the celebrated scientists, sociologist, psychologists, philosophers and anthropologists who may have never had enough money to live a comfortable and convenient life yet they are virtually successful. For instance, Albert Einstein, The greatest physicist of the20th century who crea

5、ted the theory of relativity and was awarded the Nobel Prize, was immune to becoming wealthy.Besides, not all wealthy people are successful. A good case in point is that in West China, some farmers cut down millions of trees each year and sell the timber at a high price. As a result, environment has

6、 been devastated. Innocent people have to suffer floods and air pollutions. Although the farmers are rich, they are never successful but guilty.Last but not the least, besides money, there exists a diverse array of other calibrations to measure ones achievement. The society awards its members in dif

7、ferent ways. As long as one makes contributions to the society, he or she would earn respects.Taking account of all these factors, we may easily reach the conclusion. Undeniably, people who disagree with the statement have a much stronger argument. Besides the wealthy, other people could also be reg

8、arded successful.Topic: 131Nowadays, many people who are living in the material world tend to believe that money is synonymous with success, and thus only people who earn a lot of money are successful. But is it the case? I beg to differ.On one hand, the riches are not necessarily successful. To som

9、e extent, we can not consider an officer who was charged for his abusing his authority for personal gains successful, nor can we call a rich man who was left dying without care, while his sons were quarrelling for bigger share of his legacy a successful person.A persons success is measured by, as fa

10、r as I am concerned, a good reputation in the community, a desirable role in the family, and satisfaction which comes from within.On the other hand, not only those who earn a lot of money are successful. Numerous people who are universally deemed to be successful not because they make big bucks. An

11、eastern Orthodoxy sister of great altruism, Mother Theresa threw this eager vitality of hers into a vehement striving after the social welfare of the needy and won the Nobel Prize; Michelangelo achieved immortal with his painting and sculpture, Beethoven with his music. Outside the spotlight, even c

12、ommon civilians live their respective life of success, seldom of which have something to do with large purse. Doctors are respectable with their patients, teachers with their students.It is manifest from the above argument that the proposition” only people who earn a lot of money are successful” is

13、still subjected to serious reconsideration.Topic: 131Many people believe that a large income equals success. I believe, however, that success is more than how much money you make. Some of those measures of success include fame, respect, and knowledge.Most people assume that famous people are rich pe

14、ople, but that isnt always true. For example, some day I would like to be a famous researcher. Few scientists are rich by todays standards. Still, I will feel myself to be successful if lam well-known. Additionally, there are many famous humanitarians who are not rich. Mother Theresa was one. Certai

15、nly, no one would say she was not successful.I also believe that being respected by coworkers indicates success. Without that respect, money means little. For example, I once did some work for a top attorney in a law firm. He made a very good salary, but he wasnt a nice man. No one ever did work for

16、 him willingly. He ordered everyone around, and we didnt respecthim. In contrast, however, I had a wonderful band director in high school. He had to take extra jobs just to make enough money to support his family. However, his students had great respect for him and always listened to what he said. A

17、s a result, we were a very good band. In my opinion, my band director was more successful than the attorney was.Finally, I think one of the most important indicators of success is knowledge. Wealthy people dont know all the answers. For example, in the movie Good Will Hunting, the only person who co

18、uld solve some complex problems was the janitor. He knew a lot, and decided what he wanted to do with that knowledge rather than just think about money. In my opinion, he was extremely successful.When we think of history, there are few people that we remember simply because they were rich. Overall,

19、we remember people who did something with their lives-they were influential in politics, or contributed to science or art or religion. If history is the ultimate judge of success, then money surely isnt everything.Topic: 131Since peoples criteria for success differ, there is much debate over whether

20、 only those who make a lot of money are successful. As far as I am concerned, in todays society which stresses on individual achievement, money provides the best evaluation of ones accomplishment.To begin with, as a standardized measurement used for comparing values, money is objective rather than s

21、ubjective, so it is considered an authentic reflection of ones achievement. As different people hold different understandings of success, assessing the amount of ones earnings has become universally accepted as a rule to measure ones success. Each year, Fortune Magazine publishes a special issue to

22、rank the top 100 most successful people throughout the world according to their yearly income, because there is no other methods to rely on.In addition, the amount of money one makes is the consequence of ones hard work and talent. To deny the accomplishment wealth brings is equal to deny the source

23、s from which it springs. In the past, I only believed in spiritual values and then leapt rashly to the conclusion that the best thing in life involves no money at all. It is my uncle who showed me the significance of money and changed my opinion. He told me he respected money and made it a goal to s

24、trive for in his way towards success. Because he would have to pay a price for it in terms of time, thought and energy. Gradually, I came to realize it is the mental and physical labor he devotes in the process of making money that paves his way for self-accomplishment, and thus deserves appreciation and respect.Finally, money is the most powe
