【优秀范文1】
Nowadays, it appears to be hard -wired in the brain that owing wealth is not simply equal to having a lot of money, but a great number of people still set monetary wealth as their single way to be wealthy. However, the only true wealth, as far as I am concerned, is being wealthy in mind. No matter how rich you are or how much academic achievement you have achieved in your career or study, if you are lack of mind wealth, then you will feel insufficient. For example, when students are taught to win every competition, they will simply ignore sharing the value of being helpful with them which matters tremendously as it may help them develop a sense of empathy
and understanding. Despite of the fact that they win the game, they lose the chance to improve their mental world and to have friends. On the contrary, for the kids who are taught the importance of making friends and collaboration, they can enjoy the time with their friends and experience the well-being of teamwork. Even they fail in the game they still harvest a lot in their mind.
Although identifying the true wealth which involves several complicated candidates is far from an easy task, I am still a firm supporter for that the only true wealth is undoubted wealth of mind.
【优秀范文2】
There is a widespread saying that wealth of the mind is the only true wealth. Simple as the saying is, it informs us that spiritual richness should be attached great importance to.
With the development of economy, people in increasing numbers become better off. However, money doesn’t necessarily ensure happiness or well-being. Therefore, in order to gain wealth of the mind, we should lay great emphasis on meaningful things. For instance, lifelong learning, by occupying people’s time so constructively, make people contented, with no time for boredom. Little by little, enriching oneself has become the source of happiness and contentment and that’s when one gains true wealth of the mind. Therefore, by some means or other we must come to know how to enrich our mind. It is necessary for us students to adopt a healthy and meaningful life style by improving ourselves constantly. Only in this way can we obtain true wealth in life.
【优秀范文3】
Since the invention of currency, being rich had become the dream of many, also went on was the heated debate over the definition of ‘being wealthy’. Later on, the concept of spiritual wealth stepped into the spotlight, which I believe is of topmost value, as the saying goes ‘Wealth of the mind is the only true wealth.’
The reasons for such a view are mainly reflected in two ways. To begin with, wealth of the mind brings senses of satisfaction and completion in the most reliable manner. When we talk about ‘being wealthy’, we are in fact looking for a feeling of ‘having something’, which is what spiritual wealth provides both amply and indefinitely. Although there are people who seem to be happy by living a luxury life, numerous stories are warning about the endless and dangerous desire for material wealth, and how easily material wealth can be lost. Additionally, spiritual wealth has social, rather than private, benefits. Being spiritually rich is largely based on having self-consistent and appropriate values, and from them derive personal hobbies, moral senses, and much more. These are traits required to exert positive influence on others. Consequently, wealth of the mind can benefit almost everyone, which is impossible for material wealth to achieve.
In conclusion, spiritual wealth is only form of true wealth, for it best fulfills the meaning of ‘wealth’ and has unique and indispensable social effects. (233 words) 参考译文:
自从货币发明以来,富有成为许多人的梦想,关于“富有”的定义的激烈辩论也在继续。后来,精神财富的概念成为人们关注的焦点,我认为这是最重要的财富,正如俗话所说的“精神财富是唯一真正的财富。”
形成这种观点的原因主要体现在两个方面。首先,精神财富以最可靠的方式带来满足感和成就感。当我们谈论“富有”时,我们实际上是在寻找一种“有所拥有”的感觉,这是精神财富可以充分并无限提供的。虽然有些人似乎通过过奢侈的生活而快乐,但无数的故事警告人们对
物质财富的无尽而危险的渴望,以及物质财富是多么容易失去。此外,精神财富有着社会效益,而不是私人效益。精神上的富裕很大程度上是基于拥有自洽且适宜的价值观,并从中衍生出个人爱好、道德观念等等。这些特质是对他人施加积极影响所必需的。因此,精神财富可以惠及几乎所有人,而物质财富是不可能实现这一点的。
总之,精神财富是真正财富的唯一形式,因为它最符合“财富”的含义,并具有独特且不可或缺的社会效应。

【优秀范文1】
Almost everyone seems to have a certain goal to purse: possessing high social status, earning great personal reputation, or amassing massive wealth. In order to achieve these worthy accomplishments in our life, we need to pay efforts and be conscientious. Just as the saying goes, what is worth doing is worth doing well.
Everyone could tell others what is worthy to try while most of them won't step out into reality or cower when facing obstacles. However, the things that are meaningful or have a long-lasting positive influence on our life mean to be accompanied with multiple difficulties. What we should do is being fully prepared before starting and be brave to take the first step. Take myself as an example, if I did not organize my everyday plan and be self-disciplined and brave enough to finish the task of everyday, becoming a master student of Beijing University will just be an impossible mission that I never fathomed earlier.
As we mentioned upfront, only by paying efforts and do everything we can to accomplish the worthy deeds can we finally obtaining success. What is meaningful to our life worth us to pay for that.

What Is Worth Doing Is Worth Doing Well
The saying “What is worth doing is worth doing well” tells us that if you decide to do something, then you have to do it well and to the best of your ability, which means paying attention to every little detail of the thing that you are doing to make sure it is done properly.
Some people are against the idea, saying that when it comes to implementing an idea, things that are worth doing are worth doing poorly, because many things don’t get done at all for the reason that the concern for perfection trumps the practice of “just do it”. As for me, there are many reasons for doing things well. Firstly, taking the time to learn how to do things well, even though it may be slower at first, will allow you to be more proficient in the future. Secondly, doing things well is an attitude which is important for your life development. Right attitude matters most, but not the result.
So, if you think something is worth doing, just try to do it well. You’ll finally get a sense of accomplishment for a job well done, and make further improvement.
【优秀范文3】
There is a simple but enlightening saying—“What is worth doing is worth doing well.” Then, what is worth doing? My answer is the thing you love, taking responsibility and cultivating a habit of lifetime learning.
To begin with, doing what one loves to do may arouse their passion for striving, bring them motivation to move forward and help them grow up. Thus, if one intends to acquire and enjoy long-time happiness, it is advisable for them to do what they love and do it well. In addition, it is of great necessity for us, as young people, to be responsible in life, work, and study. Doing our best to take responsibility, with no doubt, will foster our concrete skills, ensure more fruitful results, and enable us to go further on the way to success. Meanwhile, numerous celebrities’ life stories have persuaded us that the habit of lifelong learning is an engine which drives both our study and future career. Living in an era of fierce competition, every young person should be
educated to gain new skills and knowledge to adapt to the speedy social development. If one rests, they will rust.
As a matter of fact, there are so many other things that are worth doing well, and only by doing well what is worth doing, you can make a promising and hopeful future. (225words) 参考译文:
有一句简单但有启发性的话语:值得做的事情都值得做好。那么,什么是值得做的事情呢?我的答案是:你所爱的事情、承担责任和培养终身学习的习惯。
首先,做自己喜欢的事情可以唤起其奋斗的热情,带来前进的动力并帮助成长。因此,如果一个人想要得到并享受长久的幸福,做自己喜爱的事并做好就是明智之举。此外,作为年轻人的我们很有必要在生活、工作和学习中做有责任感的人。毫无疑问,尽全力承担责任将会培养我们扎实的技能、确保产出丰富的成果并使得我们在成功的道路上走的更远。同时,无数名人的人生故事告诉我们,终生学习的习惯就是我们学习和职业生涯的动力引擎。生活在这个竞争激烈的时代,每个年轻人都应该被教育去获取新技能和新知识来适应社会的飞速发展。如果一个人停下前进的脚步,他也就“锈”掉了。

Human beings have a keen interest in observing and learning about one another. We admire people with good appearance and nice shape, but the people with beauty of the soul are who we should associate with because beauty of the soul is the essential beauty.
The physical outlooking is the first impression for people, but it should not be the only standard of beauty. We all face some dilemma that we have to find someone to help us make decision. Then, which type of friends will there be to offer a listening ear and help us put a positive spin? The answer probably has to be friends who are supportive and willing to help us, rather than those mean acquaintances with a nice face. We naturally want to be around with this kind of beautiful people because we admire their beauty of soul, the beauty to be supportive when others are in need. In this regard, the beauty of the soul is more essentially valued than the appearance.

【优秀范文2】
Beauty of the soul is the essential beauty
There is a famous saying that beauty of the soul is the essential beauty. It tells us that man’s spiritual beauty is much more important than his outer beauty.
Spiritual beauty is something to which a person needs to pay attention, because, as he gets on with his life, all deeds and actions are drawn from that inner beauty. Spiritual beauty is the reflection of one's cultivation, self-restraint and bearing. Appearance is just some external representation, such as people's clothing, family background, education. Having a good degree, you may find a decent job, but without the fortitude, the good job will eventually leave you. Therefore, only the spiritual beauty is worth pursuing and cherishing.
All in all, everyone should have a pair of eyes to find beauty and love beauty. Beauty is not in your appearance, not in your identity, but in your soul.
【优秀范文3】
This is a simple but enlightening saying—“Beauty of the soul is the essential beauty.” The profound meaning in this remark persuades us that one's inner beauty is the real key to the treasure of life and friendship.
To begin with, just as the old saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover. Provided that young people intend to acquire and enjoy long-time friendship, it is not advisable for
us to focus on others’ appearances, skin colors, or clothing. Even if some people possess stunning appearances, without inner beauty, they are still prone to confine themselves with poor abilities and narrow-mindedness. Furthermore, inner beauty, without a doubt, is the steppingstone which can enrich our mind, ensure more fruitful results in friendship, and enable to us to go further on the way of a rewarding life. A typical example is my friend Daniel, who not only has a handsome face, but also acquires a kind heart, thus making him the most popular teacher. As a matter of fact, intelligent people in large numbers have realized the significance of inner beauty.
Consequently, we young people should bear in mind that if our life is like a skyscraper, the beauty of the soul makes the building taller and firmer. Only with a beautiful soul can we the young gain lifelong benefits. 参考译文:
这是一句简单却富有启发性的话——“灵魂之美是本质之美。”这句话的深刻含义使我们相信,一个人的内在美是生命和友谊宝藏的真正钥匙。
首先,正如古语所说,不要以貌取人。如果年轻人想要获得并享受长期的友谊,我们不应该关注他人的外表、肤色或服装。即使有些人拥有令人惊艳的外表,但若是没有内在美,他们仍然会受限于不足的能力和狭窄的心胸。此外,内在美毫无疑问可以丰富我们的思想,同时也是确保友谊取得更多成果,并使我们在有意义的生活道路上走得更远的踏脚石。一个典型的例子是我的朋友丹尼尔,他不仅有一张英俊的脸,而且有一颗善良的心,从而使他成为考虫最受欢迎的老师。事实上,大量聪明人已经意识到内在美的意义。
因此,我们年轻人应该记住,如果我们的生活像一座摩天大楼,美丽的心灵会使大楼更高、更坚固。只有拥有美丽的心灵,我们年轻人才能获得终生的裨益。
