That man is richest whose pleasure are cheapest

As far as we are concerned，we do agree with this idea。

At the beginning, it must be clarified that the richest man here is not the one who possess enormous amount of money but the one who enjoy spiritual happiness and a meaningful life. In term of this , we have three reasons to support our idea. First , as Franklin D Roosevelt said，“happiness is not in the mere possession Of money；it lies in the joy of achievement，in the thrill of creative effort。” Second, one, enjoying cheap pleasure, won`t spend too much time on making money. Therefore, more time can be spent in pursuing his dreams. On the contrary，a number of rich people spare no effort to seek ways to earn more money ,only to meet their pure desire of showing off themselves。But below(under) their Bright appearance ，they feel hollow instead of happy in there innermost(内心深处)。Third, material rich is temporary, but rich in spiritual is timeless and can keep us happy and healthy. Happiness（幸福） is the spiritual experience(精神体验) of living every minute with love，grace(恩典) and gratitude（感激） .These can’t be attained through money。 For example，the author of this passage ,who can’t possess a house，can’t afford a high end TV and doesn`t have a computer of his own, is considered to be poor. Despite that he can find pleasure in his life。He have a good lifestyle，get along well with others and is always vigorous and spirited。The majority of people would consider his lifestyle to be affluent, which prove that his life is of great significance .

Furthermore, famous poets in ancient China, such as Tao Yuanming, were among people whose happiness are cheap. For this life attitude, they spent more time to find the beauty in life, enjoyed life and praised life with poems. We can say without hesitate that they were the richest people in our history for they had left so much spiritual wealth in the world.

In a word, Happy first(快乐至上)，That man is richest whose pleasure are cheapest（能贫贱而乐的人才是最富有的人。）
