人活着需要钱,但不能只为钱而活着,钱是生活的条件,但不是生活的惟一,在人类社会上有很多比钱更重要的东西。?
People need money to live, but they can't live only for money. Money is the condition of life, but it's not the only one. There are many things more important than money in human society. ?
我曾经看过一篇名为《追逐金钱,使人入狱》的文章(一个爱财如命的追钱鬼——阿明的悔言):阿明很想用钱买社会地位,他认为有钱能使鬼推磨,于是辞去公安的工作,去卖服装。他的生意很好,渐渐阔绰起来,他认为他的“价值”与钱一样与日俱增,他更崇拜金钱,除了钱,便目空一切。无休止的金钱欲望,成了他加速堕落的催化剂。为了弄更多的钱,他逐渐走上诈骗的犯罪道路。他骗走了家乡父老的147万元,骗了南方某单位的130万元,从此过着挥金如土的生活。他想出人头地,腰缠万贯,却被一副冰凉的手铐紧紧地铐住了他的双手。最后,他判坐牢15年,妻子离开了他,他人生里最黄金的时刻将要在牢里度过,他失去了家庭、亲人和自由。
I once read an article called "chasing money, making people go to jail" (a money seeker - Amin's regret): Amin wanted to buy social status with money, he thought that money can make ghosts push the mill, so he quit his job as a public security officer and went to sell clothes. His business is very good, and he gradually becomes rich. He thinks that his "value" is growing as much as money. He worships money more, and has nothing but money. The endless desire for money has become the catalyst for his accelerated degeneration. In order to get more money, he gradually embarked on the crime of fraud. He cheated 1.47 million yuan from his father in his hometown, 1.3 million yuan from a unit in the south, and lived a life of profligacy ever since. He wanted to be famous and rich, but he was tightly bound by a pair of cold handcuffs. In the end, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison. His wife left him. The golden moment of his life was going to be spent in prison. He lost his family, family and freedom.
阿明是一个怀有错误金钱观的典型例子,他虽有过很多钱,有过短暂的欢乐和享受,但这只是昙花一现,如过眼云烟,他盲目和违法地追求金钱,不仅毁掉了他的前程,同时给不少人带来了痛苦,葬送了不少无辜者的幸福呢!这样值得吗?金钱当真那样重要?
Amin is a typical example of having a wrong view of money. Although he has had a lot of money and a short period of joy and enjoyment, it is only a flash in the pan. For example, he pursued money blindly and illegally, which not only ruined his future, but also brought pain to many people and ruined the happiness of many innocent people! Is it worth it? Is money really that important?
不!金钱能买到床铺,却买不到睡眠;金钱能买到补药,却买不到健康;金钱能买到食物,却买不到胃口;金钱能买到书籍,却买不到知识;金钱能买到钟表,却买不到时间。人生的追求是丰富多彩的,物质生活的满足固然重要,而崇高的理想、事业的成功、家庭的幸福、知识和健康等,这是人生的追求,尽管其中不少内容和金钱有关,但却是金钱买不到的,并非与金钱同值的。
No Money can buy beds, but not sleep; money can buy tonics, but not health; money can buy food, but not appetite; money can buy books, but not knowledge; money can buy Clocks, but not time. The pursuit of life is rich and colorful, the satisfaction of material life is of course important, while lofty ideals, career success, family happiness, knowledge and health are the pursuit of life, although many of them are related to money, but they are not the same value as money.
金钱,生不带来,死不带去,生命是短暂的,眼前的名利和金钱终有一天会烟消云散。惟有好好把握机会,善用时间,为社会,为国家,为世界无私地奉献,有所发明和创造,为人类创造财富(精神和物质财富),为他人带来幸福,才能化短暂为永恒。
Money, life does not bring, death does not bring, life is short, the fame and money in front of us will disappear one day. Only by seizing the opportunity, making good use of time, contributing selflessly to the society, the country and the world, inventing and creating something, creating wealth (spiritual and material wealth) for human beings, and bringing happiness to others, can we turn transience into eternity.
保尔?柯察金曾经这样说过:“人最宝贵的东西是生命,生命属于人只有一次,人的一生应当是这样度过的:当他回首往事的时候,不因虚度年华而悔恨,也不因碌碌无为而羞愧。”金钱不是生活和人生的全部,创造有意义的人生,给生命画出彩虹,在有限的生命里,创造有意义的人生,不断完善自己,创造光辉的业绩,造福子孙后代,让“生命”得以延续。?
Paul? Kochkin once said: "the most precious thing of man is life, which belongs to man only once. Man's life should be spent in this way: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasted time, nor be ashamed of mediocrity." Money is not the whole of life and life. Create a meaningful life, draw a rainbow for life. In a limited life, create a meaningful life, constantly improve yourself, create brilliant achievements, benefit future generations, and let "life" continue. ?
在人类社会中,有很多东西比金钱更重要,如高尚的人格、真挚的友谊、父母的亲情等,都是金钱“遥不可及”的。即使你家财万贯,没有亲人和朋友和你分享,那么,再多的钱又如何?众叛亲离的你尽管表面有很多东西(用钱买来的),但当你病了,或失意时,金钱能医治你,使你重新振作吗?独自享用山珍海味,又有何味?人的生活,要有物质生活和精神生活,物质生活是我们的生活条件,而精神生活是支配人生的路标,比物质生活更重要。换句话说:有一颗真诚善良、光明磊落的心和高尚的情操,比金钱更重要。
In human society, there are many things more important than money, such as noble personality, sincere friendship, parents' affection, etc., all of which are beyond the reach of money. Even if you are rich and have no relatives or friends to share with you, how about more money? Although you have many things on the surface (bought with money), when you are sick or frustrated, can money heal you and make you refreshed? What's the taste of eating delicacies alone? People's life should have material life and spiritual life. Material life is our living conditions, and spiritual life is the road sign that dominates life, which is more important than material life. In other words, having a sincere and kind heart and noble sentiment is more important than money.
欣颖的《昙花的启示》里有这样一段话:“昙花将它的全部生命浓缩成短短的两个小时,璀璨绮丽地盛开在人间,我想它绽放的时刻,已与永恒连为一体,成为永生的一部分了。于是我忽然醒悟到人的生命也不在乎岁月的长短,而在乎人的生命是否在短暂的时间中,吐露出人生的芳香,散发出人性的光辉,照耀千古,与宇宙并存,同日月争辉。我的金钱观是:幸福不是建筑在金钱悬崖上那样高不可攀的小花。金钱是渺小的,有意义的人生才是伟大,是值得我们去推崇的、攀登的高峰,惟有以高尚的品格为路标,才能攀上有意义的人生巅峰。
In Xinying's Epiphyllum's revelation, there is a saying: "Epiphyllum condenses its whole life into a short two hours, and it blooms brightly in the world. I think the moment when it blooms has become a part of eternal life. So I suddenly realized that human life does not care about the length of time, but whether human life in a short period of time, reveals the fragrance of life, exudes the brilliance of human nature, shines for thousands of years, coexists with the universe, and competes with the sun and the moon. My view of money is that happiness is not a flower that is so high and unattainable on the cliff of money. Money is small, meaningful life is great, and it is the peak that we should respect and climb. Only with noble character as the road sign, can we reach the peak of meaningful life.
