Some thoughts keep entering my mind. What if I become a billionaire?

OK, that is too much.To make it realistic, lets say a millionaire. I discovered some shit and got a huge grant for it. I would be happy, my family would be happy, and I hope my friends would be too.

Food for thought is that will I be affected by a huge amount of money. Will I be ignorant and stubborn?

Will my heart still melt if I see the roadside stalls selling those delicious hot dogs with relish and mustard? Or a Dolce and Gabbana watch still startle me?

Or I would like the little portions served at a 5-star diner with an upscale pricing? Would I just buy Louis Vuitton bag in the first sight without giving it a second thought?

You tend to lose importance when you can afford it well. If I could afford an expensive bag in a blink of an eye; I would not take care of it as I would do when I own it by collecting money for months.

Money and power often get to people head. People tend to forget to be original. Faking personalities take over. Some gel up well but some still fake it.

They don’t want to held the fine champagne glass in the exquisite party. They just want to go for the happy hours with old friends at some dark shady bar just like old times. But times change. And it is up to us that we do or not.

Originality sticks till our death beds. It is upon us do we show it or not.
