The Secret To Be A Millionaire

Have you ever come across books like, "10 Simple Steps To Be Rich", "Rich Dad Poor Dad", "Get Out Of Rat Race Today" and many more. All of them have the common thing, all this authors want the whole world to be as rich as them. They are so kind hearted, so eager to see millionaires in the street. By that they publish books after books, held seminars across the nation, and maybe some have their own Q&A blog for the public. All these, to help us.

Every now and then, you walk into MPH, Borders, Popular and Kinokuniya, you see the usual things, people queuing up to pay their books, children sitting on the floor near the children's section, geeks got hooked in the manga section and imaging that they are the main character with the orange hair holding a huge blade cutting demon's head into half, cool dudes leaning against the "Literature" bookshelves reciting love poems, old man at the magazine corner who turn and turn the 2d picture of a bikini woman and hope that there's a slight chance that it is 3d.

And all of sudden you come across a section, red carpeted just for you. Posters of the new book, "Get Rich Now" on your left and right, some hanging on the ceiling, and brochures on the floor. You are impressed, they use the right colours and lights, create the a special section just for that atmosphere and the best part, pictures of the author smiling with his chin resting on his right hand and he's looking at you no matter where you turn. You turned the book around, RM189.90 on the price tag, you cursed. Then you read the synopsis, and it seems like the book understands your financial situation and want to help you. And you're now facing the crucial question every man faces, to buy or not to buy. As you're thinking, you saw this "Buy now and get yourself a 20% off!" and you start asking yourself, "Tsk, I don't know...". Then you saw this, "FOR THE 1st 200 CUSTOMERS ONLY". Then you find yourself paying at the counter.

The thing is, when you got home with the book you just bought, they are telling the same old thing as all those get rich books are telling you, maybe just in a different way but the key points are the same. And you wonder what's the secret to be rich. You did everything they taught you in the book, you followed every steps they said. Oh well, maybe there's one thing you didn't really followed them exactly. They have the book and you don't. So you see how this things work? They are telling you to publish your own book on how to be rich and teach others your secret. All in one book. With a catchy title, perfect lighting and colours, the right atmosphere and a reasonable price that people will buy for a secret. You'll see your books becoming the "BEST SELLER" in a week. And that's how you'll be rich. And that's the real secret behind all those books.

Update

Well, here's an update that everyone is waiting for from me.

Where I went?
Melaka. Work. Even though some days I'm free, but I still have to find something to work. I have to be a workaholic to gain favor from someone.

What's up with me?
Lots of things happened recently. Firstly, I met a girl, she's the one.
Secondly, things happened in work place, people soliciting my client. Not really performing in sales. Selling a RM10 sticker is a huge diff selling a RM500,000 property.

What's my plan?
Work. Work. Work. In the same time, get loan to continue my degree, then maybe change job.

What's my feeling now?
Depressed. Sad. Tired. Lost.


But I believe everything happen for a reason. Especially in work, I believe all these is God's plan to mold me to be a better person, to prepare me for bigger things to come. To shape me up for the real deal. Even at times, I can't take the pressure, and problems, obstacles, troubles keep coming at me, I'll stay strong for He had overcome the world (John 16:33). I'll stand still and know that He is God.
