4.18 It is better to spend money on something that lasts a long time, such as an expensive piece of jewelry, than on something that provides a short-term pleasure, such as a vacation. [ 514words]
How do you spend money on something lasting a long time such as clothes and something with a short time joy such as a vacation? Some people prefer to the former, because it seems valuable to hold these things for a long time. And others like to pick the later, for they enjoy the concentrate feeling about a short but high level happiness. That is, they have different views on value. In my opinion, I rather prefer spending money on a short time pleasure due to some high influence, useful accumulation, and my friend's experiences.
In the first place, you can find the high influence in even a short time education. Some people like to pay money in the short time cultivations such as computer train, which is more effective, instead of buying books and learning by themselves for a long time. For instance, the ESL in America is very helpful to people whose native language is not English. In fact, I have spent a year in American's ESL and learned speaking, listening, writing, and structure, which improved my English from level three to level six. And now I can communicate with Americans easier than most of my friends who have never taken the ESL classes. So, even though the teaching only lasted one year, the influence will be much better than you read some English books for ever.
Second, some short time experiences such as traveling are very important to a person's life. During visiting different places, people would enjoy the wonderful landscapes, hear abundant historical stories, and taste various amazing cultures, all of which accumulate your knowledge. A report, Tourism Science of European, shows that a family took children travelling globally. Due to so these experiences that their children even can teach lots of customs lessons in College. On the contrary, most of their children's peer cannot do that. That is, the advantages is worth on short-time vacations.
Moreover, maybe something lasting a long time obstructs a person's development. For example, Huang xiao, one of my friends, had graduated from a famous university for two years with good scores. We all thought that he could make a good living wandering from a small city to a bigger one such as Shanghai to develop his dream career, but he did not. Because his family bought a big house for him in the small city, he felt that it was difficult to decide whether go to Shanghai or stayed in hometown. As a result, he delayed the deadline to accept an offer from Shanghai because of his hesitation. If he invest the money in finding a good job in big city but not a house in small one, he would have the chance to pursue a better career.
In conclusion, I think it is better to spend in short-time invest than something holding a long time. That is, people can enjoy the quickly rise in English during the short-time lessons in ESL. They also can get much information and joy from the many short travels. And some long time items like a house may disturb your beautiful future, which is not worth to hold. So, people would take part in some useful short-term things and then find their happiness in them.
