Money (Financial Matters) and Natural Resources


It is true enough to say that 'money makes the world go round' because the world nowadays simply cannot function without money. Without money, there will never be business and so many other things. Almost everything nowadays is based on money. If you don't have money, you cannot eat. If you don't have money, you cannot further your study. It works as if we cannot do anything unless we have money. Have we ever think for a second , how to get lots of money? For students and children, have we ever know how our parents got all the money to support us?

It is easy to say that we won't have moner if we don't earn it. Is it that easy? In my opinion, it's not easy to find money. Working is one of the solution but it need lots of gut and resp0nsibility. We as students should know how to manage money that are given to us, which is by our parents or the sponsor. We have to remember that it's not our money but others. We have to use the money beneficially. We can do so by having our own budget for each month for example. Budget will help us to control our expenditure.

In my own experience, money is one of the most difficult thing to manage. Some time when we go somewhere and look at lots of item that we like, we will have the desire to have it. We will never realize whether we are following our budget or not. The money will just flow like a river especially when there's sale. So, let's control ourselves and try to manage our money as wise as possible. Buy what we need, not what we want. Like a saying, think before you buy......

The world is facing problems with the natural resources especially with oil. Day by day, many people used oil to move around with their transport. the need for petroleum is increasing while the resource is decreasing. How are we going to solve this? The world have found ways to overcome the problems. Scientists all over the world is trying to invent motocars that use solar power instead of petrol. There are also public transpotation that used electric source to work. In Malaysia, lots of dam are built to provide water during drought season and to generate electricity which we called hydroelectric power. In conclusion, we have to take care of our mother EArth and used all the resource we have wisely or else we just make a waste of it.
