ESSAY : do you prefer money over health? discuss



No money no talk. This saying explains that money matters, since the ancient time, money could upgrade human life. People put greater value on dollars among other things in the world. However, there is a proverb goes “health is wealth”. It is true as all societies around the world agree that health has become synonymous and equivalent to the value of wealth.
Unlike wealth, health is something that you do not need to strive and work very hard like crazy to be in the pink of health. All you have to do is keeping fit and eating healthy food. If you lose your wealth, nothing is lost, but if you lose your health, everything is just like nothing to you anymore. You can no longer spend your life as much as you can. You would not be able to appreciate the beauty of each day and live up acknowledge the joys that come to even the simplest encounters with family and friends. As an example, a millionaire cannot go hiking and walking in the park like a healthy poor man. So, is there any excitement being a rich person? Of course, not!
Without health, people would not be able to work productively. Thus, there would be little chances and opportunities for earning and doing jobs. People need to work to be able to generate income. Even office jobs entail good health of employees because through experiences and history, people have determined that without good physical condition, the mental state would also be affected. But one cannot work if he is ill and is incapable to do physical activities. Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple Inc. is a genius in making and producing highly technology products. However, because of tumour is his pancreas, no matter how rich he is by earning 8.3 million dollars in 2010, he cannot use his money to gain his health. That is why, health is wealth because dollars won’t value if you are sick.
Money can buy anything even a person. Since the value of money is important, one can actually buy ‘health’ with it. How is that possible? If you have money, you can buy supplement, eat healthy food, and get an exercise equipment to keep you fit. Prevention is absolutely better than cure, that is why, if you have money, spend it your health. Remember, once you fall sick, you could not even produce money.
In a conclusion, one should take care of their health. When you are healthy, you free to do anything and to be anywhere. The statistics are clear that healthy people live longer and happily than the rich one. Rich people sometimes get affected by the money pressure and it leads uncomfortable life as they will always think about money and how to make it increasing. Therefore, treasuring health is a true wealth. One should treat it like a precious gold because by doing so, you will be shining and glowing throughout your whole day.
