我的梦想成为一个有钱人英语作文
我的梦想成为一个有钱人英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Dream to Become a Rich PersonEver since I was a little kid, I've dreamed of becoming rich. I'm not talking about being a millionaire or anything crazy like that, but I've always wanted to have enough money that I don't have to worry about paying the bills or scrimping and saving for every little purchase. Sure, some people might say that money can't buy happiness, but I think having financial security would definitely help reduce a lot of stress and anxiety in my life.I still remember when I first started thinking about wanting to be rich. It was back in elementary school, and I had this one friend whose family was loaded. Like, they had a huge house with a pool and a home theater and all kinds of awesome stuff that made my little 8-year-old mind boggle. Whenever I went over to their place to play, I was always in awe of all the cool toys and gadgets they had. Meanwhile, my parents were really struggling to make ends meet, and we could barely afford the basics likeclothes and school supplies, let alone fancy electronics or vacations.It wasn't just about the material possessions though. I noticed how relaxed and happy my friend's parents always seemed, while my own mom and dad were constantly stressed out about money. They'd get into nasty arguments over bills and debt, and their financial problems put a huge strain on their marriage. As a kid, it was really hard to watch my parents go through that, and I promised myself that I would do whatever it took to avoid ending up in that kind of situation when I grew up.Of course, back then I had no idea how someone actually becomes rich. I just assumed that if I worked really hard in school and got a good job someday, the money would start rolling in. It wasn't until I got a bit older that I started learning more about things like investing, entrepreneurship, and building wealth over time. I read books and articles about personal finance, and I started putting some of those principles into practice, like living below my means, saving a portion of every paycheck, and investing in stocks and mutual funds through a Roth IRA.Now that I'm in college, my dream of becoming rich is even more of a driving force for me. I've chosen to major in finance and business, not just because I'm fascinated by that world, butbecause I know it will give me the skills and knowledge I need to achieve my goal. I'm constantly reading up on investment strategies, studying the careers of successful entrepreneurs and investors, and looking for opportunities to start building my own wealth.At the same time, I know that getting rich isn't just about making money - it's about managing it wisely too. I've seen so many stories of lottery winners or professional athletes who came into millions overnight, only to go completely broke a few years later because they didn't know how to handle their money responsibly. That's not going to be me. I'm committed to living frugally, avoiding excessive debt, and making smart investments that will allow my wealth to keep growing over time.Another big part of my rich person dream is being able to use my money to help others and give back to causes I care about. Don't get me wrong, I definitely want to enjoy the finer things in life and treat myself to some luxuries. But I also want to support charitable organizations, fund scholarships for underprivileged students, and maybe even start my own foundation someday to tackle issues like poverty, hunger, and lack of access to education around the world. To me, that's whattrue wealth is all about - having the resources to not only live comfortably yourself, but to improve the lives of others as well.I know the path to getting rich won't be easy. It's going to take years of hard work, discipline, and perseverance. There will be setbacks and obstacles along the way, and I'll have to make sacrifices that a lot of my peers wouldn't be willing to make. But I'm committed to doing whatever it takes to turn this dream into a reality. Maybe to some people it seems shallow or materialistic to be so focused on money, but the way I see it, wealth equals freedom and opportunity - the freedom to live life on your own terms, and the opportunity to have a positive impact on the world around you.My friends and family sometimes joke that I'm obsessed with this rich person goal of mine, but I take it as a compliment. You have to be obsessed, in a sense, if you want to achieve something big like that. It has to be more than just a passing thought or idle fantasy - it has to be an all-consuming drive that motivates every decision you make. That's what this dream is for me. It's my 'North Star,' guiding me through all the ups and downs and keeping me focused on the ultimate prize.So yeah, you could say I have a bit of an expensive dream. But in my mind, it's worth every penny of effort. Wealthy or not, Iknow I'll be successful in life just by virtue of pursuing this goal with passion and determination. And who knows? If I stay hungry and keep working hard, maybe I really will defy the odds and join the ranks of the rich and prosperous someday. I'm definitely going to give it my best shot.篇2Sure, here's an essay about "My Dream to Become a Rich Person" in English, written from a student's perspective, with approximately 2000 words.My Dream to Become a Rich PersonEver since I was a child, the idea of becoming rich has been etched in my mind like an indelible mark. It's not just about accumulating wealth for the sake of it; rather, it's about the freedom and opportunities that come with financial stability. Being rich, to me, is a gateway to a world where I can pursue my passions without the constraints of financial limitations.Growing up in a family that struggled to make ends meet, I witnessed firsthand the challenges and sacrifices my parents had to make to provide for our needs. Their hard work and determination instilled in me a deep appreciation for the value of money and the importance of financial security. As I grew older, Irealized that being rich could alleviate many of the burdens and worries that come with living paycheck to paycheck.However, my dream of becoming rich isn't solely driven by materialistic desires. It's about the ability to make a positive impact on the world around me. With wealth comes the power to support causes that are close to my heart, whether it's funding educational initiatives, contributing to medical research, or helping those in need. It's about using my resources to create a ripple effect of change and leaving a lasting legacy.Becoming rich also means having the freedom to explore new horizons and pursue my passions without the constraints of a traditional 9-to-5 job. It's about having the flexibility to travel the world, immerse myself in different cultures, and gain invaluable experiences that will shape my personal growth and understanding of the world.Of course, the path to becoming rich is paved with challenges and obstacles. It requires unwavering determination, hard work, and a willingness to take calculated risks. I understand that success rarely comes overnight and that there will be setbacks and failures along the way. However, I am prepared to embrace these challenges, learn from my mistakes, and persevere until I achieve my dream.One of the key principles that will guide me on this journey is the pursuit of knowledge and continuous learning. I believe that education and personal development are invaluable investments that can open doors to new opportunities and help me navigate the complexities of the business world. Whether it's formal education, self-study, or seeking mentorship from successful individuals, I am committed to expanding my knowledge and honing my skills.Ethical considerations are also paramount in my quest for wealth. I firmly believe that success should not come at the expense of others or through unethical means. My goal is to build a legacy of integrity, where my wealth is a byproduct of hard work, innovation, and creating value for society. I aspire to be a responsible and ethical business leader, contributing to the growth of the economy while also prioritizing social and environmental responsibility.As I embark on this journey, I am well aware of the potential pitfalls and temptations that come with wealth. Greed, arrogance, and complacency are enemies that can derail even the most well-intentioned dreams. To combat these threats, I will strive to maintain a humble and grounded perspective, surroundingmyself with a support system of trusted individuals who can offer honest feedback and keep me accountable.In the end, my dream of becoming rich is not just about personal gain; it's about creating a life where I can live with purpose, make a positive impact, and enjoy the freedom to pursue my passions. It's about breaking free from the shackles of financial limitations and unlocking a world of endless possibilities. With unwavering determination, hard work, and a commitment to ethical principles, I am confident that I can turn this dream into a reality.篇3My Dream to Become a Rich PersonEver since I was a young kid, I've dreamed of becoming a rich person. I'm not just talking about having a decent amount of money to live comfortably - I mean being seriously wealthy with millions or even billions in the bank. I know it sounds greedy, but hear me out.Growing up, my family didn't have a lot of money. We weren't poor by any means, but we definitely had to watch our spending carefully. I remember my parents having to say no to me a lot when I wanted the latest toy or video game that all myfriends had. We couldn't afford to go on fancy vacations either - our family trips usually involved camping or visiting relatives.I vividly recall one Christmas when I really, really wanted this cool new gaming system that had just come out. I had been begging my parents for months, but they kept telling me it was too expensive. When I opened my presents that year and it wasn't there, I was devastated. As a little kid, I couldn't comprehend why my parents wouldn't just buy it for me if I wanted it so badly.From experiences like that, I realized at a young age that not having enough money caused a lot of limitations and disappointments in life. I got tired of hearing "no, we can't afford that" all the time. I decided then that when I grew up, I was going to be rich and never have to tell my own kids they couldn't have something due to lack of funds.As I got older, my desire to be wealthy only grew stronger. In my teenage years, I started working part-time jobs like mowing lawns, babysitting, and working retail so I could have my own money to spend how I wanted. It was so liberating not having to ask my parents for cash all the time and being able to buy things for myself.Now that I'm in college, the fantasy of getting rich becomes more and more real. I've decided I want to become an entrepreneur and start my own hugely successful company. To me, that seems like the quickest way to make tons of money (besides inheriting it from wealthy relatives, which unfortunately isn't an option for me).I love the idea of being my own boss, setting my own hours, and not having to answer to anyone else. If my business takes off, I can make millions and live a lavish lifestyle with mega-mansions, exotic vacations, flashy cars, and every luxury you can imagine. I'll be able to spoil my future spouse and kids rotten, giving them everything I ever wanted but couldn't have as a child.Money can indeed buy happiness in a lot of ways. Having experienced what it's like to go without, I can really appreciate how much easier life is when you're wealthy. You don't have to worry about bills, mortgage payments, college tuition, or any of those major expenses that cause most people so much financial stress. You can live in the nicest neighborhoods, get the best healthcare, eat at fancy restaurants every night - the opportunities are endless with deep pockets.Some people say money corrupts people and makes them greedy and selfish. Maybe that's true for some, but I don't thinkit has to be that way. If I make it big, I want to be a generous rich person who isn't afraid to open up my wallet. I'll donate millions to important causes like scientific research, education initiatives, environmental protection, and fighting poverty and hunger. I can use my wealth as a positive force to help make the world a better place.I could start my own charitable foundation and really make an impact. Just imagine how many lives I could change or even save with unlimited funds going towards worthy efforts. Having money would give me a great opportunity to be philanthropic in big ways that most people can't.That's why getting rich is about more than just buying material possessions for me - it's about having the resources to make a real difference. If I'm fortunate enough to become wealthy beyond my wildest dreams, you better believe I'll be smart about it and keep working hard instead of just blowing it all on temporary pleasures.Don't get me wrong, I definitely plan on living the high life and splurging on plenty of luxuries for myself too. Hey, a person can have philanthropic goals and also enjoy the finer things in life! I want to pamper myself with a huge house with a home movie theater and game room, a garage full of super cars, lavishvacations in exotic locales, you name it. If I've earned it through lots of blood, sweat, and tears, I think I'll deserve to indulge every now and then.But the real dream isn't just about becoming wealthy - it's about what I'll do with that wealth once I've made it. I want the money not just for the material benefits, but for the opportunities it will allow me to create positive change in the world. To me, that's the true sign of success worth striving towards.So call me ambitious, call me greedy, say I have a unhealthy obsession with money. I really don't care. I have a huge dream, and I'm going to do everything in my power to make it happen. The hunt for that first million starts now. Just you wait and see - someday, I'm going to be a rich person who makes the world a better place. That's my grandest fantasy of all.。

I want to have enough money that I don't need to worry about moneyWhen being asked about his opinion of money, Mr. Karl Derek John said, "Money is nice to have but it is not the be-all and end-all of life. I want to have enough money that I don't need to worry about money".First came to Vietnam in 1994, Karl's target was "looking for a business opportunity based on advices from his business friends". However, the local financial - monetary crisis at that time badly affected to foreign investors' thinking. Karl was not an exception.Returning to Vietnam in 2002, Karl had decided to stay here. At present, Karl is the Chief Executive Officer of TCK Group (British), providing investment consultancy in hospitality sector, CEO of VIPD Group (Vietnam Investment & Project Development) specializing in project consultancy and development and is Managing Director of Contacts International Consultants Company providing consultancy in hospitality, management and training.∙If an investor would like to study of Vietnam, what’s the field you will introduce to him?In 2002, when I started working on projects in Vietnam, I focused on my core strengths which are hospitality and tourism. Now, I can say confidently that whatever sector you wish to enter, I can help you. Why? Because I have diversified my personal knowledge-base through leveraging my connections.∙What is your secret of diversification?The secret to diversification is that one needs to have the resources, knowledge and connections to enter a new field. I am lucky because I have made some very good friends and they are able to introduce me to their friends. When someone trusts you enough to introduce you to their friend, it is a sign of approval, of trust.∙Do you mind sharing some of your failures during your fourteen working years in Vietnam?I prefer to refer to failures as disappointments because every cloud has a silver lining. One can always learn something, even from a bad situation. One of the earliest was in 1996, when I had to decide to quit Vietnam. I had spent two years of my life and US$250,000 of my own money trying to build a business here. At that time, the Vietnamese had a different idea about foreigners and felt that the country was on it's way to achieve it's goals. Doing business became very difficult and I gave up.Soon after, the Asian Financial Crisis hit in 1997, attitudes changed in Vietnam because people realised that having joined the global community, Vietnam was a part of it and needed to work with foreigners. Whilst living in Hong Kong, I received emails and telephone calls suggesting that I should visit Vietnam and take another look, which I did and that brought me back to live here.∙There were sad memories and disappointments in doing business here and you had to give up. Apart from the mentioned-above emails and telephone calls, is there any other reason stimulating your return to Vietnam?My first involvement with Vietnam goes back to the American War. No, I wasn't a soldier but I was a young idealistic student who objected to what the Americans were doing here. I remember crying hard, when I learnt of the massacre at My Lai. I marched at Grosvenor Square in London, where the American Embassy is located. I was 14 years of age at the time and one of 8,000 protestors, more than 200 people were arrested and six people died. I have partly known and witnessed things happening to Vietnam. And it seems that there is an invisible wire connecting me to this country since I was 14 years old.∙Your customers? Do you have any criteria when you choose a partner?Our clients come from all over - America, UK, Middle East, Russia, Germany, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia - to name a few. Before we accept a client, we need to know their investment criteria and we conduct due diligence on them, so we know who we are dealing with. We build a strong relationship that is based on trust and mutual respect. We know they need us, they know that they need a person here that they can trust and they know we need their business.∙In investing a project, what is your top priority?Finding a reliable local partner with a good project is the first priority. We have to make sure that what the project owner claims, is true! We have to evaluate the project, prepare an investment proposal (mini feasibility study) and present the project to the right investor. To do this, we need to have reliable sources of information and that is not easy in Vietnam.∙Environmental pollution is a global alarming issue. As an investor, what is your idea about this matter?I have always been a 'greenie' at heart and am often saddened by the ignorance and blind stupidity of the human race to acknowledge that we are destroying the environment and the future home of our children. When I see the power of Mother Nature and what she can do in a few seconds, like the recent earthquakes in China, I am humbled and ashamed that we fail to see the writing on the wall. We are going todestroy this world that we live in, we will only have ourselves to blame. I have recently been focusing on projects involving the environment. We are also examining ways to build projects using environmentally-friendly techniques.∙Your idea about success?If one can get up every morning and look forward to what lies ahead of you; if you truly enjoy going to work and don't mind working late, then you are successful in what you are doing. There is no formula for success, one has to be willing to accept life as it it, without conditions and live your life to the full. I have always said that when my time comes to leave this earth, if I can look back and say, "I did my best" then that is all that matters.∙Your idea about happiness?"Remember that happiness is a way of travel - not a destination," said Roy M. Goodman, an American politician. There are many things in this life that can make us happy or sad and we can't always choose what happens in life.∙Your idea about money?Money comes and goes. Many people who have made money on the stock-market become paupers overnight when the bottom falls out of the market. Money is nice to have but it is not the be-all and end-all of life. I want to have enough money that I don't need to worry about money.∙Is there any sector that you are not working on now but would like to do in the future?Human Resources and Training. Possibly when I retire, I will do this∙When will Karl retire?I plan to retire in about six years, to write the four books that I have been planning for some time. Whether I can realize my goal, depends on whether I finish what I have set out to do.。
