Can money buy happiness? Different people have different opinions. Somethink yes, while others hold the opposite.
It is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, andlive a life of comfort and security. However, it is equally true that lack ofmoney causes great distress. It is a common view that "money is the root of allevil." The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. In someplaces there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corruptsocieties where everybody is miserable.
So, money does not necessarily mean happiness. It all depends on how it isused. If we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be a stepping-stone tohappiness l Although money cannot buy happiness, it can make happiness possibleif it is employed sensibly.
If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.
The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.
I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.
Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.
A TV picture starts with a TV camera. Some TV cameras are big and some aresmall. The cameras in TV studios are big. Camera operators roll the big camerasaround on wheels. There are usually several big cameras in a TV studio. Camerasused outside a TV studio are smaller. TV camera crews take the smaller camerasto news and sports events.
Some cameras send out live pictures to your TV set. Some cameras makevideotapes that get played later on a television program.
All TV cameras need electricity to work. A camera operator points thecamera at a scene. The camera picks up light from the scene. It changes thislight into an electric signal called the video signal. A microphone changes thesound of people talking or music playing into an electric signal called theaudio signal.

Our little portion of oneness is given a name, is told all kinds of thingsabout itself, and these details, opinions and ideas become facts, which gotowards building ourselves, our identity. And that self becomes the vehicle fornavigating our social world.
But the self is a projection based on other peoples projections. Is it whowe really are? Or who we really want to be, or should be?So this wholeinteraction with self and identity was a very difficult one for me growing up.The self that I attempted to take out into the world was rejected over and overagain.
And my panic at not having a self that fit, and the confusion that camefrom my self being rejected, created anxiety, shame and hopelessness, which kindof defined me for a long time.
