What money can buy, what money can’t buy

This is a proverb from China.

The things you can buy with money & the things you cannot buy with money.

One can buy a house, but cannot buy a home
One can buy a watch, but cannot buy time
One can buy a bed, but cannot buy sleep

One can buy a skilled doctor, but cannot buy health
One can buy social status, but cannot buy respect
One can buy blood, but cannot buy life
One can buy sex, but cannot buy love

It’s a pretty good idea to listen with an open mind, on what others have to say. Just make sure you balance your opinions and other people’s thoughts.
