185 You have enough money to purchase either a house or a business. Which would you choose to buy? Give specific reasons to explain your choice. When you have enough money to purchase either a house or a business, which would you like to buy? When different people are asked this question, they may hold different ideas. Some people want to purchase a house, while others want to buy a business. However, to my certain knowledge, I would like to purchase a business with that money. In the next paragraphs, I will prove my opinion.
First of all, I would like to give you the reason why I reject to buy a house. Admittedly, a house is important to all the human beings because it brings us the comforts, the safety, and it is the home of the mind. People are eager to go home after a day of hard work and relax themselves. People are eager to go home to tell their family when they receive some awards. What’s more, people are eager to go home and seek comforts when they get hurt. Home denotes a most important concept to all of us. However, the disadvantage of buying a house is that it is static property and can not create more fortune. By large, a house can not increase by participating business process. It will increase its value just because the whole house market goes up.
Second, the first important reason to buy a business is that to buy a business is meaningful because the operation of the business is a particular experience of a person. In the process of operate a business, people will enlarge their knowledge and become cleverer. Because of the globalization, the improvement of technology and the development of the information system, competition between companies are becoming more common and fiercer. Not only do they compete with their direct competitors, but also have to avoid the potential ones. For instance, a company, which manufactured the television, may just consider how to attract a competitor's customers two decades ago, yet it should take into account the possibility to gain the preference of a computer manufacture's customers in order to be successful in the business world. In the process of managing a company, a person can gain a lot of actual experience and the methods to deal with problems. All in all, a business can benefit a person by heart.
Third, the money used to buy a business can create value because it is in a flow process. As Maxis says, flows create value. It is possible that the business man can triple his wealth in two or three months because his business is soaring up. The money he earns may buy him two houses. However, it seems to be an imaginary that the value of the house will double in the same period.
Admittedly, there are enormous dangers in business world. For example, it is possible that a business man loses all his property in a night because of the recession of the economy or because of his improper management. In this view, it is looks like that to buy a house is a moderate decision. However everything has two sides, the positive and the negative, and nobody can tell the advantage from the disadvantage because the environment that has an influence on this problem may dramatically change in a short period.
In sum, after weighing the advantages and disadvantages of different choices, I firmly claim that I will buy a business rather than buy a house if I have enough money. Meanwhile, I do not oppose those who decide to buy a house. Generally speaking, people of different personalities, emotional concerns, and personal experience may hold different ideas when they are facing the same problems. And I believe that in the process of making a choice, people always compare the advantages and disadvantages respectively and comprehensively in order to get more benefits in personal views. |
