I hear some people say "If you have money,you have health." So they are always trying to make money without thinking about their heath until they are ill. But I think we should put our health first if only we can make the ends meet.What's your opinion? Do you always take care of your health?

Well, a wise man I know always says this - if you have health, you can earn money. But if you try to earn money at the cost of your health, all that your money is going to get you, is a luxurious trip in a posh ambulance, to a high-end hospital. Money does NOT buy you health. Health is not a commodity which you can buy off the shelf. Why, half the times, you cannot even buy away the pain! Health is a first priority for me, because I believe in enjoying life - and to truly enjoy life, you need good health.

Yes i always take care of my health. It is wrong .The saying is like this, " Health is wealth" . So u should always think for health and not for wealth. "Health has gone every thing has gone".

I think health comes above all. It is really foolish, but I have also seen many people who live the same way - earning money without a care for their health, until they fall so sick that they become a regular visitor to the hospitals, and all their money evaporates in paying medical bills alone. If you waste your health trying to earn money, you will never be able to enjoy life, because by the time you have enough money, you'll be bedridden, and aflicted with a dozen diseases. Health is first priority, and should always be.

I think health is very important, but sometimes you just cannot afford it. I would love to be able to go to the doctor everytime I got sick, but I cannot afford it. If onlly insurance didn't cost so damn much, maybe then I could afford to go to the doctor when I am sick.

That's true. We just take our health for granted. Thanks for your response!

We try our best to be healthy lol, but sometimes stress takes over. For example I was lying awake in bed yesterday and couldn't sleep as I have a lot to think about so I got up , did a round of tai ji and qi gong and then was able to get some sleep. Now that didn't cost any thing did it lol? So even if we haven't gotmuch wealth, there are ways of improving our health, like learning how to breathe! That's a start isn't it my Friend?

i think health should be prior to everyone on anything.Unless u are healthy you can manage healthy life style and you can earn more money but if you are not satisfied with your health first how come you are going to take care of your daily routine.your job.so health is prior than anything.

I put health first.Good health is tru wealth.No amount of money can bring you back to life.But if you are healthy in body and mind,you can bring about lots of money.

health because I have known people who have had alot of money and no health. They would have traded the money for health for sure if they had a choice.

Health is definitely above wealth for me.A strong and healthy person can do almost anything as long as he/she tries hard. On the other hand, however, rich people will not be able to enjoy the wealth if their days are numbered:)

Health definitely comes before wealth. Without your health, you can't work to create wealth.

i think it's important for the human to be healthy in order for him to make money..we need to be healthy, because how can we work if we are ill..we need to take good care of our health for our future and the future of our family..money is only money, but health is wealth..i always take care of my body so that i can still work until such time that i can't..

Health should be the first priority than money. Aside from the fact that you can't earn money if you are ill, your money can't do anything about your health if your sickness is already uncurable. Take care of your health, so you may think wise how to earn money.

If you have money than you will have health. If you have health you can make money. I think that both of them are inter twined together. If one is balanced off then the other suffers. Both are a good thing because one you leave this earth you cannot take either one with you!!!

well, i agree with you. health is wealth. money cannot bring health,there r examples where millioners with pathetic health condition, they have no use of wealth, but if we try to keep good health wealth will come automatically, the first thing is we need to have a hardworking body and peaceful mind

Somebody makes money risking his health. You go and ask him/her this question. He/she is sure to give you the reply health is important. He is aware of that. But he is helpless. He is so preocupied with his money making ventures. So he/she keeps the health care thing aside. Why does he do so? Because of the fear for loosing money, by taking some time for his health care. Lust for wealth. Uncontrollable mind. That is his problem. A mental syndrome. He is already sick!!

Hi!Mr Yuan! In my opinion,health is the first.I know exercise is good for health,but after a busy work and study week,the only thing I want to do is play computer game and go to sleep. I understand the impotence of protecting my health,and I will make the best use of any time and any place at my convenience to take part in sports. Actually,I am your student in 2007,can you recgonise me? I know you smoking a lot, and I want to say,the less you smoking,the more health you will get. Thank you for you doing me a favor in my studying that year!
