Money Is Not Everything: The Importance Of Knowledge

Money is one of the most sensitive issues when we mention it under any circumstances. It is also an indispensable thing for each people. In many people's opinion, money is very important and valuable. They think that with money, we will have everything. Besides these opinions, there are other conflicting opinions that money is not the most important thing and money is not everything. In my opinion, I agree with the second opinion and believe that money is not everything. We still have other things more important than money. The first thing that I believe the other thing is more important than money, is time. We cannot measure time by money. Paul Michael wrote on wisebread.com his idea about measurement time. Michael agrees time is more valuable when he writes, “you can’t make more time.” In other words, Michael believed that time is a thing when you miss, you cannot turn back time. Otherwise, you also cannot buy time because it will not turn back. 

Therefore, time is a thing that you cannot measure. You can make money in any way, and I believe that time is one of the things help you make money. In this case, we also see that our salary was paid based on the time and effort we have work. The time we do less, we get less pay and vice versa. Therefore, time is more valuable than money because we cannot make time. We cannot turn back time, and we also cannot buy time with money. Because of this, we must respect the time that we are. The second thing that I believe on, is health. Health is more valuable than money. Health is the base thing which we need to do something, include the wealth-creating. Otherwise, health can help us enjoy every other valuable experiment. In some countries, people value their health equally and sometimes with their valuable assets. Health is not just about your physical condition. It is integration between your body, mind, and spirit. Money can buy a lot of things but except health. It can buy treatments, but it cannot buy quality for our health as we want. When we are healthy, we can work. We will experience life. Therefore, we can build up the quality life for us. We can pay attention around our lives, or when we are sick, despite a mild cold, we all feel exhausted and uncomfortable. We feel difficult, inconvenient to do anything, even moving. 

Contrast with that, when we are healthy, we are ready to do all the work in joy, full of energy. We can also say, with health, we will have everything, we can do what we want. The one of thing that I believe more important than money, is our family. As we know, the family is a cradle to nurture a person. Since we were born and raised, families have always been a place to nurture, support and bring us the best and safest things. The article “Why Is Family More Important Than Money?” of Erica Loop discussed some reasons that family is more important than money. Loop though “Although money is a must when it comes to providing adequate housing, food, clothing and education, the family relationship is just as essential -- if not more -- than the almighty dollar”. According to Loop, money is an important tool to help us have a stable life. It helps us have a good place, full of essential items such as clothes, “food”, and “education”, but the family is more important that. Money cannot buy the family for us. Loop also wrote “...strong familial social ties can actually improve your physical health”. After a tired, stressful day of work, family is a peaceful place that we find to rest, relieve all the fatigue and stress that we accumulate after the day. Some sharing sessions, connecting with relatives in your family gives us a sense of peace, repelling the feeling of stress. Therefore, our physical can improve better. In addition to physical development, the family is also a place to help us develop intellectually. Loop agreed “one of the primary functions of family, other than providing support, is to help each other learn and grow”. It can be said that the family is the first school of each of us. families teach us about moral perfection, controlling all our actions, which are things that hard money can help us buy. There are reasons that makes me believe family is more important than money. Family is the luckiest thing we have. 

A person who is nurtured carefully and best will become successful. Family is an important factor that helps us improve the best we can. It is a place that brings a sense of fun. A place where we shake off all tiredness, attempting. It is also a place to teach us about personality, teach us about responsibility, humanity. In the present life, we can say that money is an indispensable thing for each person, and it is valuable. It might be right with somebody, but in my opinion, I do not think money is the most valuable in our life. According to Wallet Groove, “Money may be valuable, but it is not the most valuable. Money can basically help you get things that you want and need but money doesn’t buy things that actually matter.” It is right, and I agree with his idea. Money is not everything. I believe that money is a tool that helps us have a quality life, but in our life, a lot of things are more valuable than money. For instance, time, love, family, health, and so on are things that more valuable than money. They are more valuable because they are things that we cannot measure with money. They are things that we also cannot buy with money. When we miss them, we cannot take it back. Otherwise, time, love, family, health, and so on are the foundation things in our life that help us make money. Therefore, we have to respect the things that we are having now.
