财富是成功的标志（Wealth is a Sign of Success）

Successful people enjoy fame, respect, admiration, pleasure and so on. Thus, without exception, everyone wishes to be successful in his or her life. Some people assume that both wealth and power are measures of success since we live in such a developed and materialistic society. And as far as I concerned, success can be judged in terms of wealth.

However, real wealth is far more than how much money you earn, it also includes other elements that lead you to success, such as knowledge, creativity, friendship, honor, social status, health, happy family etc. Without these elements, money means nothing but some figures. So a rich man is unnecessarily a successful man. Bill Gate, a household name around the world, is a typically successful person. He possesses enormous wealth through his knowledge and creative mind and of course. He wins people’s respect and accumulates his fame. If one owns the above-mentioned real wealth, he or she must have been walking on the path to success.

All in all, what really counts is not money of itself. As long as one boasts of those elements of wealth, he or she is sure to be regarded as successful.
