These days everyone wants to "get rich" fast. We all marrying someone from a wealthy family, making a big or winning the lottery (彩票). But do these things really make us happy? Many of the richest celebrities (名人）happen to be some of the most people. They buy expensive houses and clothes that they use. They may become and even become addicted to . They have become so money and material things that they forget about the people and activities they love.
Now, more young people have the opportunity for a better education, and better chances of making a high . These are great achievements, but will they make you happy? In the US many young people believe that being rich and being happy are two things. When university, they often choose to study subjects that they are interested in subjects that will get them high-paying jobs. Instead of in "business" or "management", many American students today have majors like "theater", or "modem dance". The is that making a lot of money doesn't mean that you will be with your life. Nowadays, young people are careers that they love doing instead of careers that pay well.
I think that as being becomes more possible, we need to what the term "fortune" really means. Do we need to have money or material things to be ？Or does fortune just mean having what we need to be happy? , what things make you happy? Be honest with yourself. It may take a rich spouse (配偶) or much money to make you happy!
