Chasing a 2 million dollars dream..........

Evening time remind me of something...........it reminds me of the time i am doing paper chasing...........i mean study at nite classes to get myself more qualifications..........initially, i got only a diploma.......while national service and after i step into the working world.........i study my way up from advanced diploma to degree.......i am doing this for at least 5 years.....then i realise it might not be worth
it.........studying at nite is not exactly a fun thing.........rushing to class after a hard day work.......have a rush dinner at school canteen.......at nite, still must brainstorm with classmates at class..........burn weekend to study/ do projects with project mates..........use annual leave not to enjoy at the beach but to study for exam..............lose friends cos no time for them........lost quality time with your family.....worry not about important stuffs but exam, test, assignments and projects.

But while studying for my advanced dip or degree, i always get so happy or truly elated when i scored good points for my tests/exam...and doing well for my projects....i feel i am capable when i saw my good score...............after my degree, i think seriously of doing a master degree...........suddenly something struck me..........is what i am doing really right?..........if i am so clever why must i prove to school?.........why dont i challenge myself.......or rather why dont i prove to myself?.........

But i do ask myself before why do i study? The answer is simple.........so as to get a better job than my friends........but is it really so?.......i dont think so..........when u r young and less qualified and looking for a job but the interviewer rejected u.....he gives u the excuse that u r not qualified enuff or says that there is someone better qualified than u applying for the same job as u........so u go and study like mad........then u go interview again but then the interviewer rejected u again........he gives u the excuse that though u r qualified but u r too old.....so u see, actually all these r excuses.......u just havent met someone who gives u a chance or apportunity...give u an example, recently i read an article, common belief is that u must have a degree in mass comm to get a job as newscaster.....but theres a person who gets the job even with a diploma in mass comm..becos that person is lucky enuff to meet some who gives her the apportunity...

One night, i have a serious thought......what do i really need actually so that i wont be so poor to beg on the street?..........after thinking i work out the maths......Yes, i have a simple lifestyle actually, so 2 millions is all i need........i put 2 millons on fixed deposit annually (lets say the rate is 3%)......i got a return of $60,000 every year, i divide into 12 months......1 month i can get $5000....i dont play golf, dont drive, dont womanize, dont smoke and dont drink.........$5000 is good enuff for me.........

So i got it.......my dream is not to study my way up........my aim should be to reach the holy grail of 2 million dollars?.........so i choose to prove to myself and not to school anymore.......but how to reach 2 millions?..........when u are reading this.........i am still working my way towards it......a long way...heehee....
