I think both of them is important .Live to eat or eat to live?That is the question .

But as we raise this question ,we ignore one thing ,that making money and self-satisfaction is not contradictory .
但我们提出这个问题的时候,我们忽略了一件事情,赚钱和自我满足之间并不矛盾.
That if I want to find a satisfying job ,that doesn't mean that I will be worrying about where my next meal comes from .
如果我想找一份令自己满意的工作,那并不意味着我将会担心我的下一顿饭.
No ,I think the answer is definitely no .So ,in my future career,I'd like to fulfill myself and meanwhile make lots of money .
不,我想答案绝对是否定的.所以在我以后的职业生涯中,我会在满足自己的同时赚到大笔钱.
And if I can become a millionaire ,that's the best ,mmm,important ,that'a the best thing.
如果我能成为一个百万富翁,那就再好不过了,那可是最好的事情.
Um,if I am faced with an exceptional case in which money making and self-satisfaction is contradictory ,then I would prefer self-satisfaction to money making because you know everyone of us only lives once.
如果我面对的是一个赚钱和自我满足的例外情况,我会喜欢自我满足胜过赚钱,因为你知道每个人只能活一次,
And life speeds by every minute ,every second .
而生命一分一秒地消逝,
We should not trade happiness for money .The value of our life is not measured in terms of money but in terms of our contribution to ourselves,to our familly,and to the whole society .
我们不应该拿幸福来交换金钱.生命是不能用金钱来衡量的,而是用我们对自己,对我们的国家和对整个社会的贡献来衡量的.
