Money can't buy any of the ten mentioned articles, however, without money, one can't imagine of retaining any of these. If you can't treat people well, people won't come near you. Friends will run away, wife may look for someone who keeps her happier, children will cry. You can't afford to buy a home, nevertheless, the society maintenance charges in Mumbai are also mind boggling. After these can one think of peace and happiness accompanying!! Immortality has nothing to do with money, neither does poverty can help it, albeit exercise , several therapies and a good food habit can enhance life expectancy along with good health. I remember one of our ex - prime ministers was about to die, Government of India spent 17 crores for his treatment carried out in London. With enough money, one can afford good education, a good life; love , character, health everything follows. Remember what Chanakya - one of the all time greats diplomat said " One who has money is respected. "

MONEY IS IMPORTANT. BUT IF YOU ARE IN WATER, AND DROWNING, AIR IS IMPORTANT.
My dear friend, if respect comes with money, the jews of Germany were the richest. India is not the rich country, especially with 100 crore population, still people of INDIA are happier than USA. HOW COME? HAVE YOU SEEN THE MONEY MINDED SOCIETY? GO TO USA, AND CHECK OUT HOW HAPPY OR STRESSFUL THEIR LIFE IS. SO CULTURE IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU HAVE WIFE AND PARENTS AT HOME, YOU CAN BE HAPPY. IF YOU HAVE KIDS YOU CAN BE HAPPY. MONEY WILL FOLLOW YOU IF YOU ARE A GOOD HUMAN BEING.
GANDHI DID NOT COLLECT MONEY. NEITHER DID SARDAR VALLABHBHAI PATEL, LAL BAHADUR SHASTRI, NARENDRA MODI. STILL THEY HOLD AN UNFORGETTABLE PLACE IN HISTORY OF INDIA OR WORLD.
DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR GREAT GRAND PARENT'S LIFE? WE DON'T REMEMBER WHO WAS OUR FORE-FATHER BEFORE 150 YEARS. STILL WE REMEMBER RAM, KRISHNA, VASHISHTHA, RISHI VALMIKI, VYAS, KASHYAP, BHISHMA, ARJUN - WHO WALKED ON INDIAN SOIL BEFORE 5000 TO 10000 YEARS BEFORE.
HOPE MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING. THAT IS CLEAR NOW.
SINCE INDIANS HAVE EVERYTHING ELSE (WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MONEY, DIAMOND, GOLD, PERAL-- i.e. HUMANS, RELATIONS, FEELINGS, SOMEONE TO ENJOY THAT MONEY WITH), NOW INDIANS LOOK ONLY FOR A TINY PIECE OF LIFE - THAT IS MONEY.

Great reply....Absolutely true to the core ! People can say dialogues...but let them confront with a situation of "No Money". All these love, character, will vanish. If money is there, everything comes. Without money, no girl will marry a guy...and i think of stealing food, which will hamper my character ! All these fundas are good in books. Ask these guys to write these after fasting for 5 days !
