How A Millionaire's Brain Works....

A man walked into a bank in New York City one day and asked for the loan officer.
He told the loan officer that he was going to Philippines on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000. The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan.
Then the man handed over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produced the title and everything checked out The loan officer agreed to accept the car as collateral for the loan.The bank’s president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the guy for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank’s underground garage and parked it there.Two weeks later, the guy returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest, which came to $15.41.
The loan officer said, “Sir, we are very happy to have had and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow “$5,000″.
The millionaire replied: “Where else in New York City can I park my car for $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return”
Well thats how the rich stay rich, they know a lot more about Money Management. All the millionaires I have met in my life were penny wise. Look after your cents and the Dollars will look after themselves.

Dear Chicago.......

I remember when I was just a kid walking home from school and suddenly had to hide in your bushes to avoid a gun fight. I remember being asleep in my room and suddenly awaken by the sounds of shooting right outside my window. I remember enjoying my family at my grandma's bday party but having to run to the corner and watch my cousin die after he had been shot. At times I couldnt even sit outside on the porch and enjoy you, simply afraid of what could happen and I didnt even live in the hood. I've experienced soo much good yet witnessed soo much bad at your hands. Fights, gangs, guns, drugs, shootouts, people dying, ignorant parents, kids forced to raise themselves...It's all soo dissatisfying but only seems to be worse these days. Speaking to friends and turning on the news all I hear are bad things. More people dying senselessly, and everyone seems to be subjected to it. No one is above it. Bullets dont have names and no one cares to set examples for our youth. One saying that sticks out so vividly "When it gets hot...people start killing" and sadly it rings soo true. When does it change? How does it change? Some thoughts are to send the National Guard but really...I dont think thats the solution. People will only be jailed, angered and less likely to change instead of taught to better themselves, taught to live a better life and respect and have love for each other. Dear Chicago...I'm soo concerned.... Are your streets soo cold that we inturn have to be soo cold to each other??

Anthony Hamilton on my Lunch Break



A couple of weeks ago on my lunch break I got the greatest chance of seeing Anthony Hamilton...in concert! Im used to the scruffy looking Anthony..it fits him! But he was clean, looked quite nice & sounded great as usual!!! He was actually very personable and funny surprisingly as well! I forgot about the hectic day I was having at work and once I returned to my office I was waaayyyy too amped up to do any work!! It was definitely a sweet treat, a nice get away from it all! I could go for more of those. :)
Check out the Video clips below!

Love this song!!!!!
