IF I WERE A MILLIONAIRE....

Everyone wants to be millionaire and no one wants to be poor by their own choice. This is a fact. Even the rich wants to be millionaire and the very rich wants to be super millionaire. In a materialistic world, money is an indispensable commodity which everybody, young or old, man or woman, seeks.

Everybody has their own reasons for seeking wealth. I have mine as well and these are many reasons.

Firstly, I would build my dream house. It would be in a quite and secluded area, away from the busy city. It would be built on a large tract of land which would also include facilities such as a swimming pool, a tennis court, a badminton court and a jogging track that would run around the perimeter of the estate. It would also have a beautiful garden and s barbecue area for garden parties.

Then, I would also like to own a large yacht in which I could sail out to the sra. The yacht would have a well-stocked larder with the best foods and drinks available so that mt guests and I could stay at a sea for several days or weeks at a stretch.

I would have my own jet plane in which I could fly anywhere in the world a a moment's notice. I could be in Kuala Lumpur one day and in Paris the next and then in Johannesberg the following day.

Then, I would also like to help people. I would start a charity foundation to help the needy. I would award scholarship to exceptionally talented youths so that they would be able to further their education without thought of financial worries. I would also set up homes for the aged and handicapped.

Finally, I would donate a princely sum to medical research. Scientist have not found a cure to diseases such as cancer and Aids. It would be good to render my help to such worthy causes.

These are my reasons for wanting to be rich
