Nowadays, there are
people
 who guess that success can be counted by
money
. Others believe that the
people
 who are working for humankind like tutors and researchers are more successful. In
this
 essay, I want to discuss both points of view and try to achieve a logical conclusion. First of all, I want to discover the point of view which says that
money
 is the measure of success. On the one hand, it looks very logical - you are working a
lot
, so you have a
lot
 of
money
.
On the other hand
, I'm convinced, that there are a
lot
 of
people
 all over the world, that they are working tough, but the
money
 goes to their owners.
Furthermore
, it seems that frequently
money
 is the symbol of the ability to make it
work
, more than the ability to
work
 hard yourself.
For instance
, we can see many great international companies with thousands of workers, who are working hard for very low wages. They are poor, and their owner is very wealthy.
Secondly
, in a
lot
 of countries,
people
 like teachers and doctors are working hard mostly because of their love for their
work
, not for a wage. There are a
lot
 of examples of the lack of respect for
such
 professions
like

 doctors, teachers, and nurses, with the
money
that is
 not commensurate with the difficulty of their
work
. In my humble opinion, what we have to do is to equate the respect and the wage of the
people

 are working for the future of humanity, with the difficulty of their
work
. In conclusion, the quantity of
money
 is not an indicator of your
work
 and contribution to society. We have to highlight the
people
 who are working hard for our future.
