one word topic (MONEY)

Money cannot buy anything and everything. Money cannot buy you happiness, money cannot take away your loneliness, money cannot take away your fears and sorrow. we live in an era where nothing comes free. Whatever we do requires money. From simple tasks like buying basic necessities to buying a house. Money is very important in our life and we cannot live without it. Its like humans are the tree and money is the leaf. Without any of them, none will survive. It is bleak reality that everyone wants more money for themselves.

The notion that the world is basking in nefariousness is too extreme, but we must resign to the fact that it is inevitable for man to be susceptible to money allurement. Many yearn to satisfy their whims and fancies. Whenever people hear that there is free stuffs, no doubt human first reaction is to ask where is it and to go there immediately. Impressionable people often fall prey to the lure of money. Imagine one day when you received a phone call telling you that you have just won $50000 in a lucky draw. Exhilaration will then bubble up inside you and you will be filled with exuberant and jubilation. when they say that you just need to make a small deposit of $1000, you will be too happy enjoying this glorious moment that you will just accept. This is when you u got scammed. To get what they want, people will conceal their wrongdoings with a concoction of lies and deceit to escape the blame.

Here is an example. My friend like all of us teenagers spent alot and money to us is vital for our daily life. when one person wants money desperately, he or she will resort in any method to get their hands on them. Be it in secrecy or by force. In schools nowadays, theft is quite rare but low crime doesn't mean no crime. My friend was a very wile and vain person who only wanted the best. He was not rich and i was wondering how he had the ability to but those exquisite goods which is not cheap. Then one day, i saw him during his "routine check" he was in a sec1 class searching in people's bags. In his hands were two handphones and 3 wallets.

Reality hit me like a slap on my face as the action in front of me rendered me speechless and severely traumatised me. Many thoughts swarm past my mind. the good side of me told me report but the bad side of me told me not to betray my friend. I was in a dilemma. i decided to give him one more chance hoping that he will turn over a new leaf but he did not. He was later apprehended and caned.

Its human nature to be greedy but we must learn to control ourselves. statistics have shown that crimes involving money is rapidly increasing and felonies like robbery, blackmailing and kidnap is all because the person wants more money. people nowadays are also more vulnerable to phone scams. People believe others too easily and that we usually do not think that far thus It is easy for those people to get your money. Greed will make people go mad and it breeds mistrust among people as people for money may even betray their love ones.

Overall i think that although money is important it can cause many detrimental effects and i believe that "Money is the root of all evil"

Stress

As the world improves, people also need to i prove to keep up the pace of society. People in the olden days led stress free lives and need not bother about money and being able to cope in studies. Being able to eat 3 meals a day to them is enough.

Childrens can be seen playing merrily with each other at the lakeside or running aroung the valleys, playing catching. In the 21st century, things changed drastically and technology has became more advanced and thus peple need to upgrade thmeselves.

Chidrens nowadays often have headaches about school life. Msny commented that school life is touch and they dont enjoy going to school. Reports have show that there have been a rise in sucidal cases for students. This may be due to the fact that the students are getting too stress from studies through peer pressure and family pressure.

Mnay felt that they could not make it thus deeming thenselves useless. This may lead to sucidal. Such young talents wasted.

Are parents over reacting over children nowadays?

Children in Singapore are pampered kids. The got everything prepared for them from what they eat to what they wear. They are like robots already programmed to do what the are supposed to do. They got no freedom.

They can't learn to be independent. When they want to go out with their friends the parents object, because they are afraid that they will get lost. From this how can children learn how to be independent.

Parents care too much about their children. They are scared of this, scared of that. They never can put their hearts down on them. They love them to much that they unknowingly are hurting and harming them. Thsy should let them do hwta they want but with certain restrictions. Let them know what is life, let them know the world not like frogs in wells.

When parents are free, they can bring their children out, go to places of interest to broaden their horizon. Bring them overseas once in a while, i bet the children will enjoy whatever their parents do for them.

As i stood in the waiting room, i began to feel very woried. Would survive the operation. I paced around the room with fears of constitution and destitute. " why did it happen to my Mum?"," why can't it be me instead?". The more i though, the faster i walk.

I though of my past acts, all though bad things i did to my mum. I promised to god to anyone, murmer softly to save my mum at all cost, i will not stir up trouble for her again. I will do anything to save her. "Please let her survive."," let me have i chance to redeem myself."

Tears start to cascade down my face as i fall onto the ground, depressed with my fingers crossed. The lights flashed green and a doctor came out. I rushed towards the doctor and implored him of my mum's conditions.

He bowed his head low and said that he tried his best. I couldn't believe myself. I could not tak it anymore and crumbled down like a helpless tree being chopped down. I was stunned ont the spot, stuck to the ground like devil snare grabbing me, i couldnt move.

I walk beside my mum's bed and cried my heart out. It was the last chance i could hold her. Suddenly i say tears rold down her eyes. Then she woke up and looked at me and laughed. I was shocked and the nslowly realised that it was a prank my mum played on me.

I was so relieved that i could throw all my savings away. From the day onwards, liek i promised i treated my parent like GOD.

Fears

Ever though of what will happen to you when you die? These thoughs kept flashing through my minds these few years, my deepest FEAR. "Where would i go after i die?", "how do i feel, see and touch?" These rehtorical questions have lingered in me for a long long time. No one could ever answer my quetions, these questions will never be answered.

Imagine yourself stuck in the lift in a public holiday, with the light blacked off and with no handphone. How would you feel when you cant see anything. As the time ticked by the air gets thicker and thicker. How would you feel? Scared? anxious? This feeling is like death when you cant see aor do anything just laying there, asleep for a long long time.

There is no cure for fears. It is up to ourselves to believe that it doesn't matter and ots allright but for me, It could never be chnaged. Whose not scared or death, We can only wait for death to come greet us in whatever way he wants.

Thats "LIFE!"

In a land far far away there exist a valley. The valley was idyllic and people there were merry and gay. The childrens can be seen playing merrily at the lakeside and catching each other. The parents can be seen sitting together to chat. There wass no place better than this.

People lead stressfree life and never had to worry if they have enough money or not. They like to talk to each other in a jocose manner. Whenever anyone hunted an animal, they would celerate, jubilant faces could be seen on their faces as they sing and dance around the beast.

The people there had proper decorum and was never rude to each others. They never malign each others and always enough each other to strive for the best the very best one could be.

What a lovely place this is.

Don't you think so.............
