Here is a
famous proverb: Money talks. Money has always captured people’s attention. People
always eager to own it because being rich means to be respected, to be powerful
and to have freedom. Nowadays there is a widespread opinion that the only thing
young people are interested in is money. Let us take a closer look and further
investigate this problem.
On the hand, it can be true because for a lot
of people wealth and financial stability are the most valuable things in life. They
work very hard and do as much as they can to succeed. Some of them are ready to
spend their youth to achieve goals. Sometimes they are focused on money and
success so much that it seems that there is nothing interesting for them beyond
wealth. And they may even become cruel or emotionless.
On the other hand, everybody is different
and has different values and beliefs. There are a lot of young people who start
working as volunteers because they want and like to help other people. There are
students who choose to become scientists and engineers. They are ready to work
for little money because they are keen on their work. Some of them make a
choice to become doctors in villages and towns with extremely low salary. And I
know a lot of people who have made such choice.
To sum up, I suppose that for some of us
money is the most important thing in life, however other young one size fits
all people pursue absolutely different goals. My conclusion is that it is wrong
to use one size fits all approach to everyone.
