Health or Wealth?
I prefer health to wealth if I have to choose between them. It is true that wealth makes life easier and more comfortable, but health is even more important. Only when one has good health can he pursue (追赶, 进行)wealth (财富, 财产)and happiness.
Wealth cannot be acquired(后天习得的) without health. As we know, to gain(获得) wealth usually means working hard. If one does not have a strong body, how can he work hard? How can he have enough energy to overcome all the difficulties on his way towards success? Only with a sound body may one get a chance to enjoy the better life provided by his wealth because health ensure wealth but not vice versa. Therefore(因此, 所以), health is the basis(基础) for attaining(获得) wealth.
Even if one is born into a rich family, wealth alone cannot bring him happiness. Imagine (想象, 设想)a rich man who can do nothing but stay in bed. How can he enjoy his life? What can his money do for him? So long as one is healthy, there are always chances for him to attain everything including wealth.
