Money is not only measure of success.

It is self-evident that money is important in our lives. But is money only measure of success in life?
It stands to reason that money plays a critical part in our lives. We need it in order to buy food, clothing, shelter, transportation and things that bring us pleasure. If we are students, we need  money to buy a books, and to pay for our education. In other words it is difficult to live in our world without it and money can be a positive factor in our lives. However, It is sad when people focus their attention on money,  because there are many things besides money can  lead  to  success. People think that when you have a lot of money you are automatically happy and successful.
But money doesn't always create success. People's desire to have a lot of money often leads them into debt, because they want to become rich and they think that this is one way to do it, but in doing so, they don't see the beauty around them. These people see only money and having more money, and they are missing out on real life, even though life is far more important than money.
I think that money is important, but people have a tendency to forget about real life when they trying to be successful by having more it  I believe that a person is successful when he lives a real life and doesn't think that money buys happiness.
