Rich or Healthy?

I think with a healthy lifestyle, you can also be rich at the same time. But if I would be choosing from being rich or healthy, I would pick the latter. I strongly believe that being healthy is being wealthy already, because what's good with being rich if you are sickly? There's nothing wrong with being rich but it all depends on how you live your life.

I've known many celebrities who were filthy rich before, but money didn't help them get through their illnesses. A lot of them died due to severe diseases or ailments. In my own perspective, I think what might have caused them these were the lack of discipline and contentment with themselves. Being content with who you are and what you have and keeping yourself healthy gives you a happy and a healthy heart, as well. All in all, I can say that being healthy is one of the greatest treasures that you can have for the rest of your life.

 

I totally agree with you Lahn what is the point of being rich if you cannot enjoy the richness. Health comes first before richness after all richness is not a guarantee to good life. For instance money can buy you a good bed but not sleep. Good health is a God given treasure that we need to cherish and enjoy.

 

Okay, let us be realistic. Who wouldn't want to be rich anyway? Well in my case, I hope and wish to be rich someday. It would be a dream come true for everyone to be living in a mansion with lots of cars, servants, and money. However, material things are not permanent in this world. When we die early because of our sickness, then what happens to our wealth? We could not even bring it to our grave so it would just go down the drain or someone else would benefit from it. I believe that money can buy anything but it never gives us permanent happiness.
On the other hand, somewhere in my mind tells me that health is more important than all the riches in the world. Of course, how can someone become rich when you can't work since you are always sick and lying on a hospital bed. I personally think that health is the greatest wealth that a person could have. Having a healthy body, mind, and spirit can make our lives longer. A healthy lifestyle can bring happiness and contentment that money can't even buy. It is important to be healthy because it helps to cope up with stress so the lesser chance to get illnesses. Our lives will also improve when our body is at its maximum strength to work and do our daily task. A sick person can be a burden to his family. I think that everyone would agree that health is the greatest gift a man could have. It is never too early or too late to work towards being the healthiest you. Eat healthily, exercise often, drink plenty of water and always be positive in life so we could find our true happiness.

 

I think the same thing is said in this forum, nothing worth being rich and being ill health, logically as you can enjoy life, health gives the opportunity to all, in this case, if you want to have a good job is necessary to have healthy body, having good health habits is what will take us to really make millionaire, many studies have shown that successful people are because you have healthy habits, some exercises that are good to change our life, this make a list of our bad habits, to the side put another list by the habits we can change them, this is a great help to understand which steps should we give our life to be both healthy and successful, it is very important to be guided by goals that help us really get do healthy people, because in life we acquire habits that are not killing little by little, we must make changes, but this can be achieved by being very persistent. People who exercise, eat well, plan your life to achieve your goals when you can reach this point is logical to assume that you can have both options to be rich and healthy.

 

If you are going to ask me which I like between the two...being rich or healthy?... I may say that I like it both in different perspective. Of course who doesn't want to live a luxurious life. But lets face it all the money and materials things we had in life will easily be gone in one glance if we will encounter sickness in our life. That is why it is better that we live a healthy lifestyle because I think our health is our greatest wealth here on earth. And if we are healthy we can do all the things that will help us to reach our dream on how to become rich.

 

As I have read the reply section, it would be the same with mine that I prefer being healthy than to drown myself in money, almost lifeless and illed.

"Money makes the world go round", sounds familiar, right? I know all of us wants to be rich on their own way so that they would be able to have luxuries, fame and power. Long ago, I knew an old man who is diagnosed to have a lung cancer at stage 4, yes it is frightening because it is a matter of life and death, you will be cured to be cancer free or else you will be buried 6 feet under the ground. He is undeniably rich. So rich to the point that he can buy you class. He spend a lot to get a treatment but his richness, his money could not cure his stage 4 cancer. On the other hand, when you are healthy you can enjoy life even though you are not blessed to have plenty of money. You can roam around and witness the beauty of everything and experience the world has to offer. To the younger ones who is striving hard just to place the top and reach the success, do not exhaust yourselves on becoming a rich one. It will never be good, guys.

 

Health! Imagine being rich and with a deadly virus like Cancer and Hiv! Then you spend your entire wealth trying to get treated only to realise there's no cure and you have a few years or even months to live. I would preffer to be healthy and live several years.

 

Chasing after money is what most people do. They thought that having more than enough will make them happy and satisfied. But that's not really the case. As you can see in our society, suicide becomes more prevalent, especially to rich people. They take their own lives because, despite the fact that they have more than enough money, they aren't happy. Having a healthy mind and body is what matters. Your health is your wealth. This will bring more happiness to people and contentment.

 

Health is wealth. There is no comparison of health with anything else. One can't take the real taste of life if health is not well.
Almost ninety or more percent of people are found to chase after the money and damage their power of health before it's maturity and then spend the money to recover it.
One should approach such a way that his earned money can be enjoyed with fitness of mind and body.

 

I feel like a snob saying this, but being healthy sometimes in my case comes second. I never had much money and I think it had a great influence on my life. I never had the best shoes,school bag, never went on a vacation when all my friends did. So if you asked me then I would chose money. Who says you can`t have both?

 

I think health is more important than wealth. Because being wealthy is useless when you are not healthy. If you are not healthy, then you will not be able to enjoy that wealth.
And I think healthy poor people are the successful because if you are healthy then you can build your own wealth.
