Money vs Happiness — SSB Lecturette Speech Outline
A classic chit — land on balance, not a slogan. Use this outline under a 3-minute prep clock, then speak without reading.
Opening hook (~40 seconds)
Money pays the hospital bill. Happiness is who sits beside the bed. The trick is not choosing one and mocking the other.
Body — three points (~90 seconds)
- Enough money removes fear — food, rent, a parent’s medicine. Poverty is not romantic.
- Beyond a point, status spending does not buy peace. Comparison on social media steals both money and joy.
- A useful close: earn honestly, spend on health and relationships, and measure success by usefulness, not likes.
Closing line (~50 seconds)
Hunt enough money to be free — then hunt work that lets you sleep at night.
What to avoid
Do not sound anti-ambition or greedy. Officers manage resources; they do not worship them.
