If given a choice would you rather choose to be born with a good, working brain in your head or with a gold spoon in your mouth?

Oh, well you're lucky to born rich, even if you need to work hard, as you didn't have to prove something, or do some job hunting, as probably you have your own family business. The good thing is your parents did able to teach you well and how to live life and get what you want, unlike to some family where they just give whatever their children wants that they grown up not knowing even how to unripe a banana. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I would much rather have a brain.....or life could be pretty boring! I like challenges and if you use your brain right then you'll still end up with money!

Without a doubt it would be with the brain, because then I'd be able to use that brain to earn my golden spoon.

Hi Caregarden! I would choose to have both money and brain as and when required by me. I would choose to be born with a genious, stable and class brain than with money. I also want money! But I feel that life is better with a great brain. Money is definitely essential in life but everything cannot be bought with money. If I am born with a silver spoon in mouth then I have money all around me and I can live a luxurious life. But I don't have a good brain. hat makes me vulnnerable to get cheated. I have many flatterers around me. SO I can get cheated! Also other aspects of life like friends, family, activities like sports, picnic, fun are not possible with good brain. If you have a good brain, then you have a good life. Money will also come to you as you need it! We can always earn money with good brains and hard work!

Oh, I would also love to have both, but most often we have them all. As it could not be fair if you have both while others don't. It's always to have a good brain as you only need to be hardworking and you can have as thousand and million bucks you want. While if you have a all the money and don't have a brain to use it, then it will be gone. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Yeah, nobody wouldn't want to live like a prince or princess. We all want the comfort and luxury in our life. Who wouldn't want to take the easy way out. Well anyway,still, you're lucky to be born with a good brain, because some don't have any either. What they have is hard work. As they said that the best gift in life you'll receive is wrapped in a puzzle. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy the rest of the weekends!

If you choose both there would be no other choices.:-)You're right, it's better to choose having a good brain than being born rich. Here in my place, I've known a family who's really rich since they have a successful business, but their two children didn't have a good brain to manage the business left by their parents and so in the end they got broke. And you know before you can't see them walking on the street without a company, now they're just ordinary people. So you'll see, what's really more important. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your weekends!

hi careguardian if one was born with a really good wo rking brain you could well make a lot of money and would not need the gold spoon at all. A gold spoon in your mouth only means your parents were wealthy and you were probably a spoiled brat. so no I would rather be very intelligent and make my own way. much more fun and much more imaginative too.

Yeah, you're right Hatley, having a bright brain we can have a lot of money and we could also able to value and appreciate what we have. Because you will only able to see what's good when you work hard to earn it. You're right mostly those who born rich were spoiled brat and don't value what they have, they always seek for something they didn't know, they lose meaning and direction in life,it's like they're chasing a wind. Compared those who's born in poverty, they have a clear goal and vision for their self and for their family. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your weekends!

Hi Hatley, I certainly agree with you. With a good functional brain, we would be resourceful, creative, good at making decisions, able to develop our analytical and organiztional skills. With these tools, we will be an asset to ourselves and our family in particular and to the rest of the world in general.

Hey careguarden! I think that is an easy question! I think that you have to be smart first of all! If you have nothing but money and material things and don't have the brains to think then you pretty much have nothing! What good is money and material things if you don't have the power to think and know how to use brain and make those things work for you? Some people may not agree, but I would much rather be smart first!

I'd rather choose to be born with good brains. Because I can use my brains to plan for our future. I will apply my knowledge, think smart on what will be the right career for me. Get my own business and then earn money from that. If you are born in a poor family and you have good brains, you can use your knowledge to become successful in everything you do. Unlike when you are born rich with no good brains, many people will take advantage of you. You might lose your wealth.

I wasn't born with a gold spoon in my mouth and if I had been given the choice, I would still rather be born with the working brain. Why because whats the person with the golden spoon going to do when the golden spoon no longer has money or looks. Your better off with a brain to figure out how to obtain that money than gave the golden spoon.

Hi Careguarden, Good question, kudus! I'd rather have a good,working brain so that I would know how to make life's journey a really sensible one. I'd want my life to be useful and productive not only for myself but for the people around me as well.
