Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Success is defined by the amount of money someone earns.
Nowadays, it is a universal truth that virtually everyone would like to be successful. This is because success is associated with recognition by society, status, money, and happiness. Although many people may think that success depends on how much money you make, I disagree with this idea for several reasons which I will elaborate on in this essay.
First and foremost, I believe success is related to many factors, and not just solely with money. One of the most important factors may be how much you have achieved in your life. Stated that, we can say that success is a subjective concept. We cannot compare two individuals that have reached the same position, but come from two different backgrounds. For instance, let's suppose that two prestigious cardiologists want to compare their success. One cardiologist comes from a low-income family, and the other comes from a well-known, wealthy family of doctors in which studying medicine has been a tradition, and simply one more step in life. Of course, we can say that despite both professionals being in the same job position, the one who has humble origins has had to surpass more obstacles in life than the second, and that his life has been more successful.
In addition, another important factor which success is based is self-satisfaction. Without a doubt, everyone has different priorities in life. Some people are money-focused, so they will work assiduously in order to make as much money as they can. Others are more people-oriented, and they will be concerned about developing healthy relationships with their family and friends. And probably for the minority, their focus could be to obey God’s commandments. Obviously, these three groups of people mentioned would deem their success based on what they consider important, and what makes them happy. For instance, a young engineer who wants to be rich and for that he creates a lucrative software company which, fortunately, generates high profit in its early years, there is no doubt that this person would consider himself successful. However, if your focus is not money, but rather being a good person: generous, kind, and a devout Catholic, you will not admire that engineer who thinks that he is successful, and his money will not be important at all to you. The center of your attention will be your relationship with God, and you will base your success according to spiritual standards.
In summary, from my point of view, success is not related to money, but it is based on what you have done in your life and how content you are with your actions.

Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
