[Speaking] Talk about your perception of Money

There is probably not a soul in the world who does not like money.

Money isn't the be-all and end-all of life, but no one can deny that it makes life more comfortable. Money takes up a large part of our lives. But We have to keep in mind that money is not the final goal in life.  But it's merely a means to an end. When we come to terms with this idea, we can lead happier lives with our loved ones. That's the reason we work so hard every day.

 

But as money becomes the end goal, various crimes take place every day. Voice-phishing, confidence schemes, and robberies all take place because of money. Money both can save and end lives. To lead a successful life, we must become masters of money, not its slaves. We should always think about which side we belong to.
