Wanna be a millionaire?
















Sure, who don't wan 2 be one? A catchy caption always. Seen people use it on titles of books, Blogs etc. The blatant ones would flout their bank account, open wallets and material trappings.

Hope gradually more than 20% swiftlet farmers will make the mark. I suppose it will happen for those who are persistent in the pursuit, its only a matter of time. Sorry, I am not smart enough to help you get there, but a little piece of humble advice once you are there.

2 years ago, a uni-mate returned to see his terminally ill elder brother with liver cancer. His bro was a multi-millionaire many times, a big timer in corporate world with directorships in PLCs. Of course he don't display $$$ openly like our friend lah. It will humble Sky if he does!

My friend shook his head to see his bro, despite of his wealth, being such a miser to himself and people around him! They tried to arrange specialist treatment for him in US and he still shy from the treatment costs.

Already in his final days.. he can't bear to tell him bluntly: "If you have still have the millions $ in your bank account the day you die, it is not yours anyway!"

His bro asked in return, "Why don't you tell me earlier?"

Ans: "You should have known better.. look at our family history, what ages our parents passed away?"

Guess this is just another case of smart people are not always wise.
