Maybe when we are about to leave this busy and noisy world, you will face the ceiling and ask yourself this question: What is the greatest happiness in your life?
Is it the tenderness of first love?
Is it the pride of watching the wind when your career is developed?
Is this the wedding night? When it became number one?
But you won't be like Martin, will you? Morse's answer, the lifelong president of Britain's largest futures company, replied before his death: "That was the moment when I 18 made my first pound. ? "
You probably won't answer like this, because you're afraid of leaving a grand-style one on your deathbed? "notoriety?" Because you think you don't love money. However, you can't help loving money in your life. Money is everything, which is at least half right.
Because of everything in this world, it seems that money can exchange everything? "Universal tool?" Including the most irreversible time.

Money? "omnipotent?" Because people give it a universal meaning.
Money is a balance, on which you can weigh a person's success, the value of a company and brand, and the national strength of a country. In other words, at least half of the value of life, society and even the country can be measured by money. What about them? "The value of money?" , and is relative and dialectical.
A few years ago, a movie called No Child Left Behind touched countless people in China. That day, I searched on iQiyi and watched it again. Sitting in the dark home, I suddenly found that in this film about education, director Zhang Yimou was actually telling a story about money.
Wei Minzhi first chased the village chief and asked 50 yuan for a substitute fee; Later, she stopped a student from going to the county sports school for training. What worries her is that without students, she can't get 50 yuan money. So, she went to the county to find a piece, and she was afraid that the 50 yuan would be yellow.
Miss Gao is reluctant to throw away the chalk that she can't even hold her fingers, but she keeps writing on the blackboard with her nails. More than 20 students who have never seen Coca-Cola take turns drinking a can? "Very expensive?" coke ...
If there is 50 yuan, then there will be 50 yuan, 50 yuan and many 50 yuan. If there is one, two, many, many pieces of chalk, if there is one, two, many cans of Coca-Cola, perhaps there will be no embarrassment for Wei Minzhi and her students. Of course, there may be no Zhang Yimou-style warmth and faint sadness at that time.
However, in real life, do you want that kind of deep sorrow or mediocre abundance? Put nine pence on the wine cabinet, and let Kong Yiji enjoy the moment. This kind of * * * can be understood by everyone, but we just don't want to say it.

On Li Ka-shing's 70th birthday, a guest asked him: What is your greatest wish in life? Li Ka-shing whispered to the guests: Open a small restaurant and be busy all day. After closing at night, I hid in bed with my wife and counted money.
The guests laughed, and so did Li Ka-shing. Laughter is two worlds, in the middle "Misreading?" It seems difficult to completely recover. A few days ago, Ma Yun's company went public in the United States. He seems to have said something similar. In fact, few people understand.
People who have never enjoyed money can't really understand the beauty and evil of money. If Cao Xueqin is not the son of a ruined aristocrat, where can he find the magnificent grand view garden? If Zhang Dai had not experienced a period of absurd and unruly youth, would there still be an unforgettable sigh in his Dream of the West Lake?
? "The fuller the purse, the emptier the soul?" Obviously, it exudes a sour affectation.
What money loses is nothing more than what he doesn't really have; What money makes people have is that people are not naturally calm and heavy. Money will make profound people more profound, and shallow people more shallow. Money can change a person's life. Similarly, people can change the color of money.
People who regard money as their opponents and enemies will worry about money all their lives; And those who regard money as their friends will get the happiness and peace that money gives them. People who become slaves of money, or regard money as slaves, can't sit with money.

There is an old song that goes like this: "I want to go to Guilin. I want to go to Guilin, but I have no money when I have time. I want to go to Guilin. I want to go to Guilin, but I have no time when I have money. ? "
However, such lyrics are actually incomplete. Money can be exchanged for comfort, medical care and services, thus indirectly exchanging time. A reporter asked Chanel, a French female designer, about money. Chanel said: "It made me independent, which is very valuable. ? "
I'm not absolutely sure whether money can buy love. However, money can at least make lovers in the world live a quiet life with food and bed to sleep. From ancient times to the present, at least half of the love tragedies we have witnessed are due to the embarrassment of money.
As for ideas, it seems that it has nothing to do with money, but what would it be like without money? When I was very young, there was a yellow line of The Analects at home. It was the first ancient book I read, and a passage in it influenced China literati for two thousand years. "A gourd ladle food, a gourd ladle drink, in the mean lane, people can't bear to worry, don't change is interesting. Hyun-jae, come back! ? "
Contented with poverty and happiness, literati feelings. But it is said that Yan Hui, who loves to ask questions and is aloof, finally starved to death.
Is there a necessary connection between happiness and poverty in Yan Hui? If you have money, don't you need Yan Hui? "Its worry?" Just ... "Happy?" Okay？
A hungry thinker can only think about his stomach in the end.

Hegel once said in his own works that there is a spirit in human nature, which is satisfied with sacrificing narrow physiological interests to pursue a goal and principle beyond one's own physiological interests. So Hegel understood man as a kind of. "The carrier of spirit?" His unique dignity is closely related to the extent to which his inner struggle is restricted by physiology or nature.
His theory can explain the ethical relationship between people and money in commercial society.
Money is used to earn, and at the same time, money is also used to pay.
As a person has more and more money, the happiness he gets from getting money, whether psychologically or physically, will gradually decrease and eventually return to zero, while the happiness and sense of accomplishment he gets from giving will grow bigger and bigger. This is the reason why more and more entrepreneurs have devoted themselves to charity, NGO and other public welfare undertakings in recent years. Money ethics is essentially a process of promoting self-value identification. Modern people's life is a process of competing with money, compromising or even being equal, and finally pleasing each other.
In this sense, a person's attitude towards money is actually a projection of his attitude towards life and life. In all human stories, it is not money that leads people to destruction, but his own behavior. The role of money in human tragedy has never been active, but passive. Do you like this article?
