Insane Amount of Money

Watching the news, sometimes I cringe how some people make insane amount of money.

Don't get me wrong, I believe in meritocracy. This country benefits those who, by hard work, brilliance, charm, or accident, were able to rise economically. That, despite the financial gloom in America.

I heard of a singer-reality star turned entrepreneur who has built a billion-dollar empire out of a fashion label. I heard of a free-agent baseball player who just signed on a 142 million-dollar contract for one year (he would be paid $115,000 for every game he plays next year). I heard of the social networking site founder, someone who is considered the wealthiest of the wealthy, going into philanthropic work.

I ask God every night that this kind of luck would rain on me one day. And I believe that if I do pray hard, he would. Really. There is nothing that I could lose. I just have to get ready. And right now, I'm already bracing myself.
