triarchic theory of life

have you heard of the triarchic theory of love?
or the triarchic theory of intelligence?
both these theories are formulated by robert j. sternberg, an american psychologist.

i, however, propose a new triarchic theory in this post - one of life.

for it is my belief that in life, we all wish for three things.
   1. love
   2. money
   3. health

we need all three in order to lead a happy life.

without the first, you would grow old, live a sheltered life without pain nor disease, and have everything you ever needed... but you would have nobody to share your happiness with.
without the second, you would be poor and struggle through everyday life, living a life of poverty... this is why we are studying so hard today; we all wish to succeed and become financially stable.
without the third, life would be miserable even though you have everything else... one could be rich and lucky enough to find his/her happiness in the form of a true soulmate, but without health, nothing else matters.

if i told you i could give you two of the three, which two would you choose?


i only wish for a life of peace and happiness...
to be contented with the simple things.
to live in thrift and simplicity and not spend unnecessarily.
to work hard and fight for the things and people i love.
to always practice humility and be respectful to others.
to be kind and helpful to all in need.

anyway, without the first and the third, life would be redundant.

therefore by the process of elimination, i have quite easily answered the question i posted to you earlier.

天天开心,美梦成真。
