MUET July 2013 Writing - "Everyone should aim to become a millionaire by the age of 35." Discuss.

Everybody has some aim in life. It is very important. A life without an aim is like a boat without a rudder. But choosing a career in such a cut throat age of competition is really a difficult task. Different people have different aims in their life according to their tastes and temperament. Some people want to become technocrats like doctors, engineers, scientists while many want to become bureaucrats. Some dream to become educationists, while for others politics holds great attraction. A few are lured to pursue their career in anti-social activities. There are people who have a craze to become poets, writers and novelists. In other words, different people have different choices. I disagree that everyone should aim to become a millionaire by the age of 35. I am not a highly ambitious man. I am modest by nature. I do not want to be a millionaire. The profession of teaching has been very attractive to me. This has been my childhood dream. The sole aim of my life is to serve the society to become a good citizen. To me teaching appears to be the best way to serve the society. I belong to the lower middle class of society. Naturally, I have to face several difficulties in my life. The difficulties encountered during the journey of my life made me realise that lack of education is the biggest problem to which I will devote my life to spread literacy to every nook and corner of society so as to remove the darkness of illiteracy. It is a shame that some of our population still do not know how to read and write even after so many years of independence. In terms of women education and child education, the picture is all the more gloomy. Unless we are educated we cannot make all around progress. I would be particularly sensitive to the needs of the weaker sections of society. I would work hard to bring change in their lives. When this section of society is educated, we will have a totally different society. There will be no superstitions when they will be educated. I will always be available to attend their queries whatever arise. I will arrange extra classes for those who find it difficult to keep pace with the regular class. I am fully aware that Ill have to face lots of hardships. A teachers life is hard. He does not command the respect he deserves. This profession is looked down upon as of a lowly status. A teachers life is full of drudgery. I will not be concerned for the earnings. I will try my best to make the students good citizens. I will help them in broadening their outlook. Ill groom their personality and shape their characters. Ill try to inculcate in them good moral values. Our country will have good citizens to take it on the path of progress and prosperity in which everyone has a dignified life full of equality of opportunities. According to a great educationist, Teachers are the custodians of the highest values. In conclusion, our aim in life should not solely be materialistic in nature. Whether we are millionaires or not is not important. We should strive for a quality lifestyle free from stress and live a more moderate life. If we were to aim to become a millionaire by the age of 35, perhaps we may not even live up to experience the wealth we possessed. Wealth does not come easy - there is always a price to pay! The old adage that money is the root of all evils should be seriously pondered.
