Success is often measured by wealth and material belonging. Do you think wealth is the best measure of success? What are the qualities of successful persons?

#success #wealth #measure #qualities #persons
In
this
 materialist era, everyone wants to be more successful than their colleagues.it is often believed that becoming rich is a sign of being victorious. I totally disagree with the above statement.
This
 essay will discuss some points in disgrace of the statement and will mention some of the qualities of a triumphant person. Wealth is not only the pivotal thing which plays a major role in making a person successful. To commence with, the majority of
people
 who are rich get assets from their ancestors.
Therefore
, they do not know how to manage it.
For example
, my cousin who got a heavy bank balance from his father 2 years ago is spending an excruciating
life
 due to mismanagement of his wealth.
Furthermore
, money cannot buy good health for anyone resulting in an unsuccessful
life
.
For instance
, many rich
people
 who live a sedentary lifestyle and visit restaurants frequently eat unhealthy food,
as a result
, they suffer from many diseases
such
 as hypertension, heart issues and diabetes. On contrary, there are myriad qualities of a victorious person.
Firstly
, good behaviour is the utmost imperative thing. To illustrate
this
, in every field like politics or education
people
 invariably vote for a polite and well-behaved personality which is proof of his successful
life
.
Secondly
, to have a triumphant
life
 one ought to be truthful, loyal and hardworking as well. To sum up,
although
 money counts to some extent for a successful
life
.
Nevertheless
, in my opinion, many
people
 who are not honest, hardworking and well-behaved always are at a great loss in spite of having money.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
