Saving money or spending tomorrow's today money .

Money is to our life what blood is to our body. In the world today, nobody could live without

money. According to a recent survey conducted by one authoritative information corporation,

an estimated 67% of college students in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Wuhan, and est. think

saving money is a good habit. On the contrary, the rest are convinced that spending tomorrow's

money is better. As far as I am concerned, saving money best suits me and renders me the greatest

enjoyment.

Admittedly, spending tomorrow's money, as advocated by many, has its active role to play in

our

economic

life.

It

can

spur

people

to

make

more

money

to

enjoy

life.

And

consumerism

brought about by this trend can of course do a great deal to drive forward our economy.

However, there are numerous merits for saving money. First things first, saving money is a

preparation

for

a

secured

life.

The

best

way

to

secure

a

safe

and

sound

life

and

be

free

from

poverty, want and anxiety about future is, of course, in current situation, to have a certain amount

of money in hand. In our daily life, various things unexpected and emergent may fall upon us. In

these cases, if we have savings, we can manage to overcome these crises more easily. In addition,

money dissipating and luxurious life can weaken us. By contrast, just as Albert Einstein put it,

simple and unassuming life is good for everybody, physically and mentally.

By

and

large,

why

so

many

people

advocate

spending

tomorrow's

money

and

so

many

exclaim the dogma is beyond my understanding. It seems that it can bring us nothing but anxiety

and

more

uncertainty

about

our

life,

while

saving

for

the

rainy

day,

a

fine

tradition

of

Chinese

nationality, can provide us with the greatest security and the best satisfaction of life.

Buying or Borrowing Books?

Books are close friends of humanity. They can arm us with knowledge and information we

need to make success of life. Through books we can obtain skills and techniques for survival and

development. Through books we can enlighten our spirits and live a fuller life. There are generally

two

ways

in

which

we

can

have

access

to

books:

borrowing

or

buying.

While

millions

are

borrowing books, I still think buying them best suits me and gives me the greatest enjoyment.

Admittedly, there are a few merits for borrowing books. For one thing, borrowing books can

save

us

huge

amounts

of

money.

And

of

course,

with

the

money

saved

we

can

do

other

more

worthy

things .And

also,

as

we

borrow

books

from

the

library

and

friends,

we

normally

have

deadline to finish them, and consequently we can read more books in a limited time. And we can,

above all, better our efficiency of our reading, just as a famous Chinese saying goes, “books can

not be read unless borrowed.”

However, some advantages for buying books are more obvious and compelling. One of them,

definitely not shared by the choice of borrowing books, is the abundance of freedom that buying

books can offer us. Since we can keep the books as long as we wish, we can read as much as we

want. Another strength of owing books is that we can take whatever notes on the margin of the

pages of the books. And finally, the process of selecting and keeping books can be a great fun that

borrowing books can by no means offer.

While borrowing books can, to some extent, quench our thirst for knowledge, buying books

gives us greater pleasure of selecting and keeping the best of the world treasure. Can we think of

any thing else more delightful and rewarding?
