I wanted to be a millionaire,but I was being lazy and then I woke up from my pipe dream coma and said it is now or never. If you start to focus more you can see reality a lot better.BigrayvinSat, 30 Jun 2007 22:32:38 -0000http://ybpguide.com/2007/06/29/the-plan-ber/#comment-2414754two pieces of advice my dad has given me over the years:<br><br>1) don't chase the money. do what you love to do. do it well. the money will come.<br><br>2) study hard. take good notes. life is more than about just getting the 'A'. pay attention to the needs and desires of others and a good idea will hit you. just be sure to position yourself to earn that 'A' when the opportunity arises.<br><br>while it's hard to keep focused on that goal is a ybp when you see your friends or colleagues in their new cars with their new iphones, just remember that investing in yourself always pays the highest dividend.<br><br>life is a long race, not a short sprint. find your pace and stay on your path.FredricSat, 30 Jun 2007 14:09:56 -0000
