There is no life when you are only with money.
People often prioritize money over skills for several practical and societal reasons.
1. Money is essential for meeting immediate needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare, providing a sense of security and stability. The immediate utility of money makes it a primary focus for many.
2.Societal norms and cultural values frequently equate financial success with personal success. This leads to social pressures where individuals seek wealth to gain status, respect, and recognition. The tangible and immediate nature of financial rewards further reinforces this pursuit.
3.Short-term gratification plays a significant role. The benefits of money are often immediate, while the rewards of acquiring and honing skills can be delayed and less certain. In a fast-paced world, the allure of quick financial gains can overshadow the long-term benefits of skill development.
Moreover, the global economy often places higher rewards on certain high-paying jobs, irrespective of the skills involved, pushing individuals towards those roles to achieve financial success.
Nonetheless, many people do recognize the importance of skills. Skills can lead to better job opportunities, personal growth, and sustainable financial stability. The key is balancing the pursuit of money with the cultivation of valuable skills for long-term success and fulfillment.

It is a well-done evidence that shows the prevalence and distribution of leading causes of mortality and morbidity are dissimilar mainly due to socioeconomic, health care provisions, life way of residents, and infectious status.
Some of the main causes are as follows:
Globally
-Non-communicable diseases: Others include arthritis and lung disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, immuno-deficecy and obesity.. They have of late been emerging as the major causes of death and physical disability in most parts of the globe.
-Communicable diseases: This comprises HIV/AIDS; tuberculosis; and malaria, which is among the main leading causes of mortality and morbidity, especially in LMICs.
-Injuries: These are leading killer diseases and disability and are preventable, that include road traffic crashes, falls and other unintentional injuries to children and adolescents.
In Developed Countries:
-Non-communicable diseases: These are the four leading PRS of morbidity and mortality which are heart diseases, cancer, strokes, and chronic respiratory diseases.
-Mental health disorders: These diseases include depression and anxiety and are on the rise contributing to high disability.
In Developing Countries:
-Communicable diseases: Diseases, both infectious and parasitic, malnutrition and those causing disability are responsible for most deaths and the overall morbidity, most affecting children.
-Maternal and child mortality: Pregnancy and child-bearing complications, and perinatal and infant mortality, continue to be an issue.
-HIV/AIDS: Some zones still present important problems related with the HIV/AIDS.
-Malnutrition: Undernutrition is another common problem combined with micronutrient deficiencies, which cause a range of diseases.
Of course these are trends, and it should be understood that in and between nations the specific leading causes of deaths and diseases are different. In addition, the shifting details of demands for promising diseases such as climate change and antimicrobial resistance are becoming heavier.
