WHY EDUCATION AND MONEY ARE NOT ENOUGH - MONEY OFTEN BRING PROBLEMS

 "The plenty belonging to the rich one does not permit him to sleep." - ECCLESIASTES 5:12. 

Franklin, who lives in Hong Kong, experienced the truthfulness of that wise saying. He had advanced education and a well-paying job. Then he was promoted to be a manager. "The stress began to affect my health," he said. "I worried so much that I could not sleep." Eventually he reached a breaking point. "I started to question why I was doing this," He recalled," and it led me to think more about the purpose of my life." 

Like Franklin, many have concluded that there is more to life than pursuing higher education and riches. Rather than focus their life on material things, some seek a better future by striving to be a good person and to do good to others. Will pursuing such a way of life guarantee a secure future? The next article offers the answer.
