2、How can a single postage stamp be worth $16 800?

Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value. The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer – Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.

Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius’ Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words “Post office” instead of “Post Paid” on the several hundred stamps that he printed.

Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left – fourteen One Penny Orange –Reds and twelve Twopenny Blues. Because of the Twopenny Blue’s rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as $16 800 for it.

I think there's no doubt that health is more important than wealth. I can explain it just in one sentence: If you're not wealthy, you can still be healthy and feel happy, but if you're not healthy, you'll never feel happ y even though you're wealthy. But actually I don't think there's really clo se connection between health and wealth, as the two are not so against to each other. People pursuit wealth as they want to own more things, someti mes even with the price of their health, but as long as they control thin gs under a certain degree, they can own health and wealth together.
