Can Money Buy Happiness?
Can money buy happiness? Various people have various answers. Some people think that money is the source of happiness. With money, one can buy whatever he enjoys. So, in their minds, money can bring comfort, security, and so on. Money, as they think, is the source of happiness.
But there are still a lot of others who think that money is the root of all evil. Money drives people to steal, rob, and break the law. A lot of people became criminals just because they were in search of money. Many people lose their own lives when hunting it.
I think that money is essential to life. But even though money is necessary to life, it can’t buy happiness. Happiness is not something that can be measured by money. It is a state of mind. One can have plenty of money, with which he can buy whatever he wants, and at the same time he is not happy because he is never satisfied. Therefore, although money is necessary for a happy life, it can’t buy happiness.

Dear Sirs,
I have just seen your advertisement in Beijing Evening News of the 6th, August for a salesman in the Electronic Device Section of your company. I’m very interested in the job and I feel I’m qualified to meet the requirements. I’m therefore enclosing a resume together with reference from my supervisor.
As you can see, I once worked in the Electronic Department. So I am familiar with different kinds of electronic devices. I have worked more than once as a salesman in some stores during my previous vacations. Besides, I’m very patient and friendly in nature. I’m confident that I shall be suitable for the kind of work. If you need any further information, I shall be very pleased to supply it. Or I wonder if you will grant me with an interview.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully, Wu Qi
