The Soul of Money
has shed lights to several issues that I have never actually put serious
thought about. In the expense of earning more money, we missed out so many good
opportunities to truly enjoy the things around us.
Personally, as a senior standing student, I feel that I
often find myself spending so much time on finding the perfect job for myself.
I spent my entire 4th of July holiday on internship.com, USC Career
Source, and editing my resume as well as making my perfect cover letter. To
look back, I felt really bad because I could have actually spent this holiday
with my girlfriend to enjoy the fireworks instead. Just looking at such recent
events, I really hope that I will not end up being one of the many captured in
our consumerism culture. Moreover, I don’t want to end up being the one who is
unable to give time for my children in the future.
Like Twist suggested in her book, we need to be able to
learn to be satisfied with sufficiency once we hit the “balance”.
