Which is more important, health or wealth?

Which is more important, health or wealth? When given this question,

different

people have

varied

answers. Some insist that health plays a more

important

role

in

our

life,

while

others

see

more

advantages

arising

from

wealth.

The first group of people quote the old saying

“Health is above wealth”

to prove their idea. They argue that, on the one hand, a strong person can

do almost anything as long as he/she tries hard. On the other hand, however,

rich people will not be able to enjoy the wealth if their days are numbered.

In contrast

, the

advocates

of wealth have such arguments as follows.

For one thing, wealthy people will be able to buy more healthful foods. For

another,

they

can

enjoy

better

facilities

to

improve

their

health.

Take

my

neighbor, Lao Wang, as an example. He had a heart attack and is in hospital.

However, he cannot afford the expensive operation, which costs as much as

100,000 yuan. Therefore, he has to lie in bed

hopelessly

. If he were a rich

man, his life would be saved.

As far as I am concerned

, both health and wealth are important to our

life. We should try

to strike a balance between

them and gain wealth with a

healthy body.

Strike the iron while it is hot.

Hit the nail on its head
