Being rich
People can be “rich� in more ways than just by having a great amount of money. Think of another way that you or someone you know may be “rich� in something other than money. Explain how that person is “rich.�

Many people want to be rich. When they imagine the word ‘rich’, they might just think about money. But I think it’s not mean just money to be rich. For example, people can be rich by their mind. Person who is rich in his/her mind can be a richest person in the world. They feel happy from help the other people, and do that with precious attitude. It makes them to look the most beautiful and richest people in the world. Also there’s the other way to be a rich. It’s be a leader. They can have ‘people’ to be rich. Not only have them, but also they must try to have their mind, of course. It is not easy that have someone’s own mind, but when he/she has done it, they’re able to be rich with their people. And last way which I want to tell is to be satisfied with things which we have already. If we love the things we have, we can have the richest mind in the whole world. Not only money makes a person to be a rich. I think person who has the richest mind is the happiest person in the world, and that’s the best way to be a rich person.

be rich is something that probably can make people crazy and htey don’t thing in anything also exept money. money can be something good but when you know how to use it. sometimes peolpe thing that they can do everything with money, but that’s not true. is good to have money, but we need more things that that. we need our family, friends and love. we need all that to have a nice life and live in peace. money something make good people into bad people, and we don’t need bad people we need peace. with money we can help good people, peole that need money,food, house and other necesary things to survive, it’s better if we help people giving them money and in that way we are going to feel better with ourselfs. money don’t give us everything, we need more things than money.

Generally, many peole think they can be rich just by having money. But that’s not true. When I was young I agreed that, though. Many people can be rich by having knowledge or their happiness as well as having money.
I have heard that if you want to be really rich, you should make happy in your life. There are poor people in the world. There are rich people in the world, too. Are you sure about that all rich people are rich? I think the answer is ‘No’. There is book ‘Our happy time’ that is Korean book. This story is about a death row convict and a woman who are her house is very rich by having lots of money. But a woman as well as a death row convict are not happy and want to die before they meet each other. After they meet they realize what is the happiness and also they don’t want to die. In my opinion, this story tell rich by having money is not everything. And the real rich is by having happiness in your mind.

There is a lot of chance to be rich. It’s all up to you. You need to make the right decision at the right time. Then you’ll become rich. But being rich is not that easy. So people are too smart. They think too much. At last they still can’t be rich. I know a rich people called Xiaoge. He made a good decision to buy a lot of house. Then he become very rich.

To the best of my knowledge, richness belongs to people who are content with what they have and always try their best.

Rich is doesn’t always mean about money, rich can be rich about everything, it can be in the positive way and it also can be in the negative way. The rich that person that I known is in the negative way; the story goes like this, one day in the school , I met the girl so I don’t really know her and she seems kind of nice, so I am kind of like oh yeah just make a new friend with her so I started to ask her some question, but all of her answer that she answered back all come with the bad attitude, and after that I never talk to her again, and after I been there for a while I find out that some of my friends don’t really like that girl too, because of her attitude and the way that she treats her friends, this girl is rich of bad attitude.

a person can be rich in a lot a ways rich doesn’t mean just having a lot of money, a person can be rich having to many friends having a great personality or just the most important having to much love to give n to receive
i have a friend n i think he is rich n having a great personality because he always is trying to hang out with all the people no matter if the other people have money or no he just want more friends n more friends n he always has to much love to give to everybody he is a good friend
being rich doesnt mean just have money
the real meaning of being rich is being happy with the things that u have

In my opinion, we are rich too difficult. when everyone had money, not sure they were rich. Having money does not have to all. there are rich people in the world but they have all. Because money does not buy everything. Sometime, not true.

Hello everyone,
I like talking about my opinions in ‘being rich’. I think there are many ways to be ‘rich’, it isn’t only having a great amount of money. you can be a richman/woman when you have much experience or knowledge in any subject. It means that you are a richman/woman during in your life.They can’t take it away from your mind. It’s better than people who have a lots of money with no knowledge. money can go away one day later. People can be rich when they are generous, if you give money way to the charaty or an organisation of poor people around the world, so you’ll have lots of good friends, you won’t be alone in your life. I remember one Man said: ‘if you give away $1million, you will be a millionaire’
These are my feeling obout rich. What about you?

when I think about being rich, happiness and healthy come to my mind first. Surely, having lots of money would make people happy sometimes, but it is not always true. While the way make you happy is not only one. any of baby’s smile, people’s greeting on the street, solving a hard problem and a bunch of flower from your lover could be worth of happy. The other thing is healthy as I mention above. the reason I say that because of my friend who is suffering some kind of liver disease for a few years which really affect her life so much.

If all of our needs in many aspects of our lifes can be completed, we can say, We are the “rich”. Money is one of many aspects of life. People who has a lot money can feel a situation of emptiness in their life. They have no happiness, sometimes they lives alone in the crowded city. So are there a reason to say: they’re “rich”. It’s a absurd to say that.

Being rich is having something of value . It can be money, health,knowledge, or anything that requires a permanent struggle .
First, knowledge has always been what I considered as precious in my life.But it does not come by itself. It is not free.A good education needs a lot of money, and only a healthy mind can achieve that goal.
Then, life in community leads to balance with all those values.For example, money comes first for a head of family.
Today, it helps to get everything essential for life such as food, health, education.
Also the pursuit of happiness has different meaning for each of everybody.Some people are looking for Love their whole life , though they have all the money to take care of a woman.
Hence, being rich is not just having only one of those valuable assets.It has to be an ” all in one” thing essential to an ordinary life. Overall, it is it is being able to help others to value their life .

Generally speaking, when we hear, read or come across with the word “rich”, all that we imagine are the glamorous material possesion that the world has to offer. We usually associate richness with a astronomical amount of grandeur. Such as owning the most expensive house in an exclusive area. Or driving the fastest and latest model of exotic car in the market. Probably owning some business tycoon that people look up to you as god. Some people thinks erratically different and differ the meaning of richness with material access, status in the society and the idea of having abundance.
In contrary to this thought, I personally believe that richness is a state of mind and not a status symbol. Any person, I mean anyone can be rich at his/her own right. Being rich does not always signify wealth. There are other considerable factors that we look into as valueable. For example, a family. It has always been said that the family is one of the greatest treasure we have in life. Without them, life is meaningless. Even if you own the entire village if you don’t have a family its nothing. For others they consider health as richness too. Having a sound body is also considered wealth as a saying goes “health is wealth”. Those are just some of the things that i consider the meaning of richness.

hi, my name is Thomas and i’m writing for the first time in this blog. I found it very interesting, but i think that it could be more interesting if the comments are replies to others opinions and not only opinions. So my advice to Mr. Kumar is to keep working hard, this is the easiest way to get rich, and working gives not only a material richness, but a spiritual satisfaction too. Thanks.
Comment by Thomas — July 7, 2007 @ 15:33
While some people may think that being rich equals having wads of cash in a society preoccupied with materialism, I would rather believe that the true meaning of richness consists in the ability to feel content with what you have, to love and to be loved, to help those in need, and to treasure your family and friends that you love so much.
Living in affluence may prove convenient to get you things you crave, but it does not spell richness. Rather, it is spiritual satisfaction, not material abundance, that fulfills richness. Money cannot buy you a warm-hearted smile from a stranger, nor can it get you people who truly care about you and are willing to share your happiness and sadness because you are their friend. Money cannot buy you happiness when you come home and see your dog bouncing up and down excitedly, wagging his tail and licking your face all over, neither can it give you satisfaction when you help people with your expertise to solve their problems that have troubled them for a long time.
As the saying goes, ‘Happy is he who is content’. And I believe rich is he who knows how to be.

I think that painters, even if they don’t make much money on selling their pictures are rich. first of all, their inner world is abundant, these people are usually more creative and emotional than others… In addition to this, the works – paintings – mean much more than money to their authors. If I were a painter, I’d feel very sorry if I had to sell my paintings, because I’ve c-r-e-a-t-e-d it, I’ve put my heart in it.

Nowadays, more and more young people want to win lottery, and then become the weathiest person in the whole society in order to have everything in his/her mind. However, I regard that something you cannot easily get from a large amount of money simly because the value you cannot be conculated by money.

HI!RICH I don’t like this word is quite down but not 4everybody!So being rich is maybe COOL but there r many people in the world who get to that level filthy,NEVER THE LESS not always u can be rich cos the world goes around and everything may happen.In my opinion rich people r not friendly cos they look so high even sometimes they fly and 1thing thats relly bed is that they humiliate the poors.But dont forget that there is a GOD who sees the invisible.Beside this I should mention too that the world has also good rich people maybe few but they do exist I have seen that kind of people and do u know whats the result its the HEART can make everything.Dont dream of being rich………….no benefit 4the other world keep it in mind……………… DONT COUNT THE MONEY,COUNT UR WRONG DIDS.”RICH IS HE WHO HAS GOT A GOOD FAMILY AND GOLD HEART”
Comment by GINA_G — August 13, 2007 @ 11:43
Richness is not merely wealth but a lot more but without wealth we r not rich it doesn’t mean we should be billionaire but we should have prosperous life ,also richness means the abundance of moral values, like friendship, love care, good behavior, we can said that we r rich because we have good friends and we have relationships of love and care we should dreaming of being rich but our directions should be clear about the life and we should respect those who don’t have enough money but have good behaviors today’s material world abundance of wealth is considered richness but in my opinion richness means a balance of everything in life .

i think being rich does not mean that you have a lot of money and i think rich could mean that you have a lot of knowlidge and sometime it mean that you have a lot of love come from other people nd you have happiness.
Comment by fullmoon — September 1, 2007 @ 14:14
Why do we want to be rich? Is that for happiness?
Everybody want happiness. Rich of money, mind, thinking, becoming something can make us happy?
I think happiness is not something to get by trying .
Comment by Jacob — September 1, 2007 @ 23:37
I would like to mention something from a Christian point of view. A quotation from the Bible in connection with richness:
” A generous man will prosper;
he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.”
Proverbs 11:25 (New International Version)
It talks about how you should handle everything that is yours according to God. Do we use what we have for the benefit of others? If not, don’t be surprised. We won’t be more prosperous. Probably we are envy with people who are more prosperous than us. This quotation tells us the secret that helps to get rid of envy and complaints: Share what you have with others and you will be given more.
I think this is a universal rule in the Universe.
