A few years ago, David had the idea of selling CDs over the Internet. He started his work from his home. Now he sells over 500,000 CDs a year and has made himself into a millionaire(百万富翁), at the age of 24.

“I could see that this was the future of shopping,” says David. “Why should you pay $15 for a CD and spend the time and the money going into the shop? You know sometimes you have to find a place for your car too. You can have the same CD for half of the price by clicking on your computer. And we can find any CD you want and bring it to your door in 24 hours!”

David said this is the only beginning, “One day we’ll do our shopping over the Internet: it’s easier, quicker and cheaper. Shops and supermarkets will be the past.”

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect (影响) on the poor,but once a person has a rich life,a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.

If money was everything,all millionaires (百万富翁) would have true love, true friendship,good health and a long life. However,this is not always true. Many of them are not happy, and die earlier.

Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought?I’m afraid not. Love means to give,not to take. To every person,health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的) things. Well,can health and a long life be bought with money?The answer is “No”.

Of all the longest living people in the world,few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word,Where money is worshiped(崇拜),money can cause brothers to quarrel,lovers to hate,strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have,it is still not enough to make you a happy person, if you have no one to laugh with,no one to cry for.
