Saving money or spending tomorrow's today
money .
Money is to our life what blood
is to our body. In the world today, nobody could
live without
money. According to a
recent survey conducted by one authoritative
information corporation,
an
estimated 67% of college students in Beijing,
Shanghai, Chengdu, Wuhan, and est. think
saving money is a good habit. On the
contrary, the rest are convinced that spending
tomorrow's
money is better. As far as I
am concerned, saving money best suits me and
renders me the greatest
enjoyment.
Admittedly,
spending tomorrow's money, as advocated by many,
has its active role to play in
our
economic
life.
It
can
spur
people
to
make
more
money
to
enjoy
life.
And
consumerism
brought about by
this trend can of course do a great deal to drive
forward our economy.
However, there are numerous merits for
saving money. First things first, saving money is
a
preparation
for
a
secured
life.
The
best
way
to
secure
a
safe
and
sound
life
and
be
free
from
poverty, want and anxiety about future
is, of course, in current situation, to have a
certain amount
of money in hand. In our
daily life, various things unexpected and emergent
may fall upon us. In
these cases, if we
have savings, we can manage to overcome these
crises more easily. In addition,
money
dissipating and luxurious life can weaken us. By
contrast, just as Albert Einstein put it,
simple and unassuming life is good for
everybody, physically and mentally.
By
and
large,
why
so
many
people
advocate
spending
tomorrow's
money
and
so
many
exclaim the dogma is beyond my
understanding. It seems that it can bring us
nothing but anxiety
and
more
uncertainty
about
our
life,
while
saving
for
the
rainy
day,
a
fine
tradition
of
Chinese
nationality, can
provide us with the greatest security and the best
satisfaction of life.
Buying or Borrowing Books?
Books are close
friends of humanity. They can arm us with
knowledge and information we
need to
make success of life. Through books we can obtain
skills and techniques for survival and
development. Through books we can
enlighten our spirits and live a fuller life.
There are generally
two
ways
in
which
we
can
have
access
to
books:
borrowing
or
buying.
While
millions
are
borrowing books, I still think buying
them best suits me and gives me the greatest
enjoyment.
Admittedly, there are a few merits for
borrowing books. For one thing, borrowing books
can
save
us
huge
amounts
of
money.
And
of
course,
with
the
money
saved
we
can
do
other
more
worthy
things .And
also,
as
we
borrow
books
from
the
library
and
friends,
we
normally
have
deadline to finish them, and
consequently we can read more books in a limited
time. And we can,
above all, better our
efficiency of our reading, just as a famous
Chinese saying goes, “books can
not be
read unless borrowed.”
However, some advantages
for buying books are more obvious and compelling.
One of them,
definitely not shared by
the choice of borrowing books, is the abundance of
freedom that buying
books can offer us.
Since we can keep the books as long as we wish, we
can read as much as we
want. Another
strength of owing books is that we can take
whatever notes on the margin of the
pages of the books. And finally, the
process of selecting and keeping books can be a
great fun that
borrowing books can by
no means offer.
While borrowing books can, to some
extent, quench our thirst for knowledge, buying
books
gives us greater pleasure of
selecting and keeping the best of the world
treasure. Can we think of
any thing
else more delightful and rewarding?
