Pursuit of Happiness

"Pursuit Of Happiness" is name of the new movie available this week in DVD. The actor Will Smith shows the audience how money changes his life. He was poor man sleeping in public restroom with his eight years old son. Then he worked hard and he became a billionaire. Money changes his life and bring happiness for him and his son. You will say it is just a movie but Will Smith made this movie from a true story. In fact, Everyone who has watched this movie agreed that money can bring happiness to our lives. Money can bring happiness from three aspects, economical, social life and familial.

First, by money people can buy anything they want. They can buy things make them comfortable in their lives. For example, people can buy a house on beach and enjoy the view every morning. In addition, people will not worry about their bills. For example, employees and workers will not save money every month to pay their invoices and credit cards, because they already have it. So, people's wishes can happen by money, because if they have money they can buy their wishes.

Second, with money, people can help the society to develop. they can volunteer to build buildings that help in community. For example, people can build a hospital for indigents or they can build a public school so even the poor children will be educated. Moreover, people can bring big companies in the country and of course that make the society better. For example, workers can buy trucks from Germany and bring it to their country. Trucks with best quality help the society, because this kind of trucks work for long time and can not be damage easily. as a result, improving the society can happen by money.

Third, people can bring happiness to their families. they will have more time to spend with them. For example, they do not need to work two jobs a day and they do not need to work over time. In addition, they can buy for their families everything they need. For example, when the teenagers grow up, their wishes become a lot, and they will ask a lot, such as they will need a car when they join the college, or money to start their lives when they separate from parents. Sometimes parents can not afford what their children want, but with money they can buy their desires. Accordingly, making your family happy and spending more time with them happen when you have money.

opponents say that people will like riches for their money and they will respect them for what they have. However, this is not true. If people have money, they will choose their friends carefully by introducing their selves for people they think they are like them for their personality. In fact, they can develop their personality by taking courses in NLP (Neuro- Linguistic Programming). NLP make us read people minds and also understand their movements (Ellerton, 2003). Thus, riches can keep others who like them for their personality and not their money to be their friends. In addition, Money can help them to be in position to deal with royal people. In many cultures money is important to meet majestic families. people who can help them to get their goal and their happiness in this life.

It is true that money can bring happiness for us. It can help us to deal with our lifestyle. Without money we can not stay in our society like we want. We also can not bring the happiness to our homes, our families, our lives. People who say "money is trouble" do not understand the meaning of money. They do not understand that money is everything. They need to see what would happen if they are poor and they did not have income: they would try to take a loan from a bank or ask people for money, because money can save you from asking people to give you what is not belong to you. Moreover, with good income we can secure our selves from be broke one day. By starting a new project for example, or by buying stocks and selling it when the prices goes up. When people have money they will find a lot of ideas and a lot of business they can do. They can start their lives in a new fields and get experience. With money they can do whatever they find it necessary, because anything we need come by money.
