Is it true that only people who earn a lot of money are successful? Recently the
controversy has been brought into focus. We cannot deny the fact that money is
one of the yardsticks against which how much one has achieved is measured.
However, in stark contrast, many people would rather stick to an opposite view.

The rhetoric that only when people have earned a colossal sum of money can
they be regarded successful is not only unreasonable, unconvincing, or
misleading but also absurd and ridiculous in that it has obviously neglected the
celebrated scientists, sociologist, psychologists, philosophers and
anthropologists who may have never had enough money to live a comfortable
and convenient life yet they are virtually successful. For instance, Albert
Einstein, The greatest physicist of the
20th century who created the theory of relativity and was awarded the Nobel
Prize, was immune to becoming wealthy.
Besides, not all wealthy people are successful. A good case in point is that in
West China, some farmers cut down millions of trees each year and sell the
timber at a high price. As a result, environment has been devastated. Innocent

people have to suffer floods and air pollutions. Although the farmers are rich,
they are never successful but guilty.

Last but not the least, besides money, there exists a diverse array of other
calibrations to measure one's achievement. The society awards its members in
different ways. As long as one makes contributions to the society, he or she
would earn respects.
Taking account of all these factors, we may easily reach the conclusion.
Undeniably, people who disagree with the statement have a much stronger
argument. Besides the wealthy, other people could also be regarded successful.

Nowadays, many people who are living in the material world tend to believe that
money is synonymous with success, and thus only people who earn a lot of
money are successful. But is it the case? I beg to differ.
On one hand, the riches are not necessarily successful. To some extent, we can
not consider an officer who was charged for his abusing his authority for
personal gains successful, nor can we call a rich man who was left dying without
care, while his sons were quarrelling for bigger share of his legacy a successful
person.
A person’s success is measured by, as far as I am concerned, a good reputation
in the community, a desirable role in the family, and satisfaction which comes
from within.
On the other hand, not only those who earn a lot of money are successful.
Numerous people who are universally deemed to be successful not because
they make big bucks. An eastern Orthodoxy sister of great altruism, Mother
Theresa threw this eager vitality of hers into a vehement striving after the social
welfare of the needy and won the Nobel Prize; Michelangelo achieved immortal
with his painting and sculpture, Beethoven with his music. Outside the spotlight,
even common civilians live their respective life of success, seldom of which have
