Everyone should have aspirations. Although your aims may not be easy to achieve， you can turn them into reality through your own hard work.

But I know only too well that my poor home village can’t compete with the affluent and prosperous city. I’m not obsessed with money， but money is useful. I need money to pay for the cost of my children’s daily life and education， to improve my own living conditions， and to live a comfortable life……
