wealth has always been what some people long for.it is true that most of them try to acquire wealth by means of honest labour. their efforts contribute to the welfare of the society and at the same time to accumulation of their wealth,and hence their happiness.

　　there is no doubt that wealth brings happiness especially in the modern society,where various kinds of modern conveniences,new fashions and entertainments make their appearances with each passing day to make life more comfortable and colourful.only money can turn admiration into reality.

　　but there are exceptions when wealth does not go hand in hand with happiness.wealth may encourage those weak-willed persons to be addicted to some harmful habit,such as drug-taking or gambling, and bring about their own ruin.also,a person may lose his reason and go astray if he is passionately devoted to seeking wealth.therefore, one can never reckon only on wealth to achieve happiness.
