3 minutes speech about real wealth is never measured in money or posession
Answers
At a very early age, I had heard my father tell my older
sibling one thing I did not understand then, but am able to do so now and the
words ring in my ears every now and then. His words were to the effect that
acquiring knowledge alone does not make one a completely educated person; with
it must be added the right kind of values. A truly revered person is one who
has the right mix of the two.
Today, we live in a world where a class of people flaunt
their material wealth without realising they are hollow inside. Money and
material possession are in plenty with them, yet they are poorer than an
ordinary individual who does not so have much money or material possession. The
well healed treat people less privileged as sub-humans.
If we acquire the right education and our value system is
strong, we shall automatically transform into rich individuals. We will learn
to respect others, do good deeds for the underprivileged and by our good traits
will be able to influence the people around us. A case in point would be our late president,
Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam who had very few material possessions to show but left
behind a rich legacy of his knowledge and humaneness.
If all of us are able to instill within ourselves the values
of the dictum that, ‘Real wealth is
never measured in money or possession’ we are sure to become much better
human beings and transform our country into an even better and cherished place
to live in.
