eople today are focusing on making money and not on improving themselves. What puzzles me is why people should ignore contributions to the good of humanity while making money. It is only rational a person who gives to the world enjoys the benefits. After all, our civilization simply can39。t be built on the principle of making money alone.

My number one asset has always been that I am much more ambitious than most. The way I see it, life is too short tomake periodical concessions to fort and fun.

When I was eight, my father said, That field of work is too petitive for you. You should be more realistic about your prospects and abilities.

I was fascinated with the printing machines so I always arrived to work early to ask questions. I wasn39。t much of a scholar, so I eventually ended up enrolling in an average university. Still, I was keen on being a reporter and did not give up my dream. I wrote for the school newspaper and when I graduated, took a job sorting mail with a local media pany. I later convinced them to give me a chance to write some simple articles. That39。s how I got my start.
