Speaking of making money, why should we care this so serious? Sometimes people chase the way of making money and lose their ways in life. Therefore, before we start thinking of how to make more money, maybe we should think what life is first.

So what is life? I don’t know, and even I know it, it still can’t be the answer of others because everyone has his/her own life. Psychologist Maslow had given a hierarchy of needs in 1943. The hierarchy from the lowest to the highest is Physiological, Safety, Love/Belonging, Esteem and Self-actualization. The hierarchy is in pyramid form, that is, the lower part it is, the more people there is. The idea is simple: after we have satisfied in the lower parts, we can be interested in the higher one. For example, we won’t be interested in self-actualization if we don’t have food (physiological) and safety.

Or we can view the life in the other way. The basic of life is finding a goal. We will live with more passion as long as we have a goal to achieve. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a kind of goal which is ordered by necessity. Take me as an example, I always would like to find something meaningful to do because I don’t have the problems about no food, no safety or no love. Since I have earned some awards and been the class leader for several times, I do have some esteem from others. However, I never feel comfortable with self-actualization. In deed, I don’t know what kinds of goals I should achieve. Therefore, I lose the way to work hard sometimes.

Recently I feel that working hard in a company to dead is not an interesting thing. After all, working occurs the most of time in our life, and we can’t get rid of it until we are very old. If I could find an interesting and meaningful job, life will be better. Or I could find a way to earn money rapidly without working for a whole life, then I could do what I want without caring about money in the remaining time. Of course, either way is hard. In order to find a interesting and meaningful job, I should know what interesting and meaningful things are for me first. Also, doing these things can make enough money to live. On the other hand, it is a common sense that finding ways to earn more money more quickly is not easy, otherwise everybody is rich, and people don’t need to worry about living. Besides, if we don’t find the goal to achieve after we are rich, we will lose the way of living.

In a word, making money is important. However, we should never forget what life’s meaning is, otherwise after a half of life pass and we do get a lot of money. We will not know what we should do next and why we live in this world.
