A Vision

As of now, it's hard to see where I'll be in 5 years time. It's even harder to envision where i will be in 10 years time. But it does not matter too much, because I have a dream of building my own business empire, be it selling poultry or sewage cleaning or corporate banking, I will build my empire. Everyone wants to be rich, the only variable is how they go about achieving this aim. Along the streets of Kuala Lumpur, it is not hard to observe a whole spectrum of people belonging to different levels of the social ladder. At the very low, weather beaten, poor and somewhat pitiful end, beggars/hobos/handicapped people selling tissues rein supreme. I cannot help but to sympathise with their squalid state. Everytime I walk pass them, I get very tempted to help them with everything I have, then I pull back after realising that i have nothing much to offer. I would then walk away with my teeth tightly clenched due to the overwhelming sense of helplessness.

Higher up the ladder, we have the traders of merchandise/food. They slog day and night for a better life, only to progress imperceptibly each day. Few are lucky enough to strike it big, but the majority can only get by comfortably. Next up, we have the bourgeois, the stuck up middle level managers and the down to earth rising stars of the future. These are the meanest of the lot- the machiavellian people. Eager more than ever to climb on each other to attain a higher status, these are the budding politicians. Above these minions of the society, we have the senior managers and CEOs, who are masters of their own profession(either through climbing on people, pulling strings, ropes, and what have you, or worked their asses off so hard that they've been rewarded). They're rich, but they're not as impressive as those coming up next. The echelons of power are held by the wealthy(duh...). They were once like every one of us, except that they were/are still innovative, hardworking, very persistent and as much as they are unwilling to admit, damn freakin' lucky. In my opinion, they became rich because their preparation met an opportunity, and that by no means implies that they do not deserve what they have, but only that they were fortunate enough to be thrown opportunities at, and my dream is to be one of them. But I cannot to it alone. In fact, no one can. Even Bill Gates needed to pull some strings at IBM before he started earning money at the rate that would crush 100000 people at a time. I hope to find more friends/partners who share the same vision, and maybe we could work towards our common goal. The reason is simple: I want a better life for my family. I don't want my children to grow up having been deprived of the opportunities that money can get. I love my family. I'd like to help the world. Having money is also nice. Having loads of it...is AWESOME.

so what do you say, mates? let's roll, uk style. And then make it LEGEND-----wait for it----
