Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life. He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have a wonderful friendship with somebody and think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he does not. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it. People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness maybe missing the meaning of life.

Compared to the universe, our lives are really short, just like a meter. But the meaning of life does not depend on its length but contributions. For example, Marie Curie, in order to find the radium, she devoted her whole life to her search. Though this radioactive element had shortened her life, she never gave up her mind to serve the world. According to her story, I conclude that the first meaning of life is contribution. The standard of judging a life is not how much he asks for but how much he gives away. The second meaning of life is struggling for our goals. Each of us has goals, such as longing for position, hoping for wealth and looking forward to be loved. However, the path leading to them is not filled with roses. But no matter how tough to accomplish our dream we should never say die. If you really want to achieve them, please keep diligent and patient just like an English motto goes: "No pains, no gains." The third meaning of life is happiness. Not only should we keep happy, but also bring enjoyment to others. For example, we can have an optimistic attitude which can affect the people in our surroundings. Besides, we are supposed to be ready to help others, because in this way we can make both us and them happy. I consider it an unchangeable truth that "Helping others creates happiness." Just want to say, the lives for us are limited, but we are able to make efforts to make it shine out. Believe it, though our lives are rather short, we can also make a hit. If we try our best, our lives will be meaningful as well.

Meaning of Life Life is important to anyone in the world. But what the life mean is not clear to anyone on the earth. What is the meaning of life? Someone thinks that life is working and working. They think that they do not need to know anything outside the field of their specializations, so they do not care about many things such as sports, entertainment, music... Life is more than working. Of course working is important to our life, because it supports so opportunity to get money, and make our life better. However, working is not enough to life. As a human into days society, he or she should know much more knowledge than his or her own field. The knowledge outside ones specializations can help him or her build up the moral sense. The meaning of life is difficult to explain. No one can give the clear identification of it. But the life is not difficult. The meaning of life is to devote. If anyone in the world is ready to devote, the life of the world will be more beautiful.

There are many forms of life on earth: organisms, animals, plants, and human beings. Life is given to man only once. And there are many natural disasters that will destroy life. Since life is short and precious, everyone wants to enjoy longevity. The mode of life differs from person to person. A person's life maybe one of great achievement. He may also lead a quiet life. A career man has a busy life. As self content man has an easy one. Yet everyone is writing his own life story with his actions. The intelligent and diligent person makes his life full of vigor and vitality. He works and plays with zest. A lazy man's life is dull and spirit less. While in life he is life less. As a youth, I choose to live a busy and meaningful life.
