Free Meal 免费的午餐

Nowadays, people are easy to be lost in free commercial ads, the classic example is the make-up ads. When girls walk in the street, there will be some salesmen come after them and tell them to get free products, so the girls are willing to come to the shop. But then they find that they have been cheated because the salesmen ask them to pay the money to buy another products before they get the free one. There is no free meal. So we need to work hard to get the things we want. In western countries, most parents ask their children to do some house work to get pocket money, because they want their children to understand the coming of money bases in hard work. It is important for us to know we need to pay for what we want.

如今，人们很容易迷失在免费的商业广告里，典型的案例就是化妆广告。当女孩走在街上时，会有一些商人紧随她们身后，告诉他们可以拿免费的产品，这样女孩才愿意去他们商店。但是她们随后就发现被骗了，因为商人要求他们支付金钱去购买另一个产品才能得到免费的赠品。没有免费的午餐。所以如果我们想要得到自己想要的东西，就得付出努力。在西方国家，大多数父母都让他们的孩子做一些家务来获得零花钱，因为他们想让孩子明白金钱的得来是建立在付出的基础上的。我们得要为自己想要的东西有所付出，明白这一点很重要。
