Have you ever wondered which will make you happier in the long run, money or brains? Many individuals throughout the world base their search for the right mate on whether they have money or not. Although this may sound like a satisfying plan, it will most likely backfire in the long run. To me, brains are the more logical choice because knowledge can take you anywhere. In today’s world the majority of high school graduates continue their education into college so that they can become more knowledgeable in a certain field of study. Once they obtain a degree they seek employment which later provides money. Although this sounds like a long, hard process, it comes with a huge sense of accomplishment for the individual. Not only have they earned their position, they can provide for themselves and also others if needed.
Individuals who are wealthy are often times given whatever they want. Even to me this sounds enjoyable, but I’m sure people like this have no work ethic. Recently on the Tyra show a woman guest appeared who admitted to marrying her husband solely for this money. She referred to his appearance as that of a lawn gnome, but commented on his flawless work ethic and ability to provide for her and their numerous children. The presence of money is obviously enough to satisfy this woman, but is it enough to satisfy you?
Where I come from, we’re taught to work hard and earn whatever is it we desire. I would rather work hard to get a knowledgeable understanding of the world than be handed everything. Let’s face it, those who are given everything usually lose interest in everything that isn’t materialistic and spend no time working to better society or help others.

Coming from the same area as you, the fact that we're taught to work hard for what we want. I also believe that working hard is better than just having things handed to you.
