Finally, my semester has ended and I am officially free! But I have spent two nights at home without going out. Boredom has settled in rather quickly. Still, I would choose these over doing assignments or preparing for exams. =P
Recently, I saw this piece of news that a man had won the lottery in the States. He is now a millionaire.
It sets me thinking.. How come the people who won so much money never stay as millionaires? Their names are not in the world's richest. They do not appear in Forbes Magazine. We never heard of their achievements after winning so much money.
Imagine having millions as capital for business. The person can practically deal with any business he/she wants. Hotels, F&B, Entertainment, Media, etc. With that huge capital, the person ought to succeed in one way or another!
I guess what happened with the money is that the winners spent them all away. The millionaires who stay as millionaires are the ones who have acquired the discipline, wisdom and determination as they start from scratch and work their way up. When the huge windfall suddenly dropped into their laps, these winners simply lack the discipline, skills and wisdom to make their money grow. Thus, they never stay as millionaires.
So, it's good that we do not win lottery right? Coz it must have sucked to go back to our poor ways after living as millionaires. =P
