Filthy Rich? or Dirt Poor??

Here's a quick shot:
Do you want to be a rich fella? or a poor guy?
Well i believe that no one really wants to be a poor people, most of them are forced to, due to their lack of luck, slip of opportunity, uncompatible skills and capability, short of initial capital, betrayed by fellow friends and all sort of shitty hardships. But all to all, no one wants to be poor. And the question above is basically a stupid question with only one short answer most of the time, a big "i want to be a filthy rich man!"
It's only normal, i would've answered the same as well! Being poor is... difficult... people look down on you, no one gives a damn about you... your existance - is insignificant, whether you're dead or alive, it doesn't matter (at all!). So everyone wants to be rich, to put it simple - money moves people. Money drives a person to move forward, to build up a better future (whether it's for themselves or for their kids, it doesn't matter!). You may put up all sort of excuses saying that i'm working hard right now for my family blah blah blah, but the core of this conversation remains unchanged -- you're driven by money! So let's face this fact, yea, there's nothing wrong with it, and actually, many successful people are being driven by this factor: take Donald Trump for example, take Genting's owner (or more like former owner, i called him Uncle Lim ;p) for instance, they dreamt big, their goal is to be one of the richest people on the planet (well, uncle Lim is in Malaysia alright ~_~), and they dedicated their time, their energy, their life, for their goal. And they made it in the end, that's very good!
So everything is good, let's make money as our ultimate goal, and our jolly good time in the end! So what's the issue here? Well, the problem is, human is not just motivated or driven by money, they're "driven" by money! People... changed, because of money... the same guy that you used to hang around with 10 years ago, might be a totally different person right now, who looks down on you just because he's a penny richer than you! The friend that you used to share all your secrets, your goodies when you're in school time may be the person that you have to watch out because he might backstab you in any moment! These are just some dramatic examples of course, but it's very true, people changed because of money.
I've seen quite a lot of real life examples of how money could change a person. A friend that i used to laugh around with, respect, had now turned into a proud, loud noise idiot who never keep their words; and a once humble, lovable old aunt of mine had been avoiding to see the bunch of us... maybe there're other reasons to it, but money's definitely one of them... can you blame them for the change? Not really... they've worked hard, and now they're harvesting their fruit, they earned their status in the society, so what's wrong with talking a lil' louder? They got more money in their hands now, they need to manage it, they got more things to do, so what's wrong with forgetting about the promises they've made? People around them get easily jealous and some may have said things to offend them, so what's wrong with separating themselve from us?
So who's right? who's wrong? what's right? and what's wrong? Being a rich person, you got the money (definitely), you got the social status, you got big house, big car and a big mouth, but you might loose your friendships... faithful people, honesty... life is probably just a big scam for you... Being a poor person, you got true friends, you're able to find happiness even during the hard time, but you probably got no stand in the society...
So the best solution would probably be that we become a rich person while still remain unchanged! But is that possible? i guess not... Nothing remains unchanged forever, as time goes, things change, people change... and after considering the possible changes, try ask yourself back the same question,
"Do you want to be rich, or poor?" which path will you choose?
take a pick...

Just in case you're wondering, "where the hell is Wilson right now?"

Yallo ma' fwen! It's been awhile ya! Have been very busy lately, "busy with what?" you asked? hohohoho! No worries no worries, let mua show ja!
^^

First 2 weeks of Febuary:
Chinese New Year loh... duh... need me to tell you why i'm busy ka? It's chinese new year, and genius like me don't clean his room till the day before new year wan! So busy loh!
XD
CNY is like... normal loh... go back JB... all the cousins jam up in a small appartment where i lived... noisy... as ever... kepoh... as ever... kacau... as ever... so can't do anything there, basically just slept the whole day then got bully by my cousins (they're all much younger than me, in case you didn't realize)... and visit other relatives... but this year seems to have collected a lot of ang pow y'know! Went visit relatives in Singapore also! First time in my life ~ collected Singapore duit leh! 10bucks become 20bucks, 20bucks become 40bucks! wahahaha! i love the exchange rate man! And this is the first time i step foot into Singapore territory after 18 years, yea, that feels good! Like i've concured the island itself!
~idiot >_>

3rd week of Febuary:
A new member joined my family! No i'm still single and i haven't married AND VERY MUCH AVAILABLE! (~meh ~_~)
I mean a pet dog! :D
A Shih Tzu, the name is Terry, he's ma' new bro 'mon! Only 4 months old ^^, very cute, very naughty, very good boy (yea, i know...what am i talking about?), love following people around... and lie on the floor right behind you... so almost step on him a couple of times already =_=
Very hairy, looks like a carpet on the floor, feels like roll it up like a bolster and use it as my pillow...
=D
too bad... i don't have a girlfriend to show off to... Sad wei~
Taking care of a pet dog is no easy job i must say, have to teach him where to shit... where to eat... and since this is still a puppy... he basically bites everything that he can reach... so have to teach him what he can bites, and what he can't... but overall he's quite obedient! And very lovable little puppy! ^^
And why i suddenly get a pet dog? Don't ask me man, ask my brother and my mom... they suddenly got a dog fever and wanted a dog... so we have Terry right now...
>_>

The rest of the days until now:
Busy... very busy... busy playing with Terry (^.^")... and busy drawing man! Have been drawing none stop since coming back from JB! Almost finish my first comic! Planned to use this comic as my debut! My journey as a manga artist will start with this! Yeah!
But the sad things is... my current job... bos is going to be a blocking wall in my journey soon... they're gonna ask me to work extra... over time... take out of my precious time for drawing...
>.<>
MUST CHANGE JOB! *BUT*
i haven't been touching engineering stuffs for 8 months now... what i've learnt? long gone with the wind... switch to another engineering job? bad... you have no idea how bad it is... it's a bad... bad... bad... BAD idea! Switch to art and design job? bad as well... went through some interviews already... pay too low... NOT only that... working hour... MUCH longer than what i'm doing now!!!
The solution:
none yet... but there's a thought... to give tuition! That should be able to sustain myself if i give enough tuition! Plus my first comic is going to complete soon, and i planned to go full time as a manga artist from now onwards! So there should have some income as well!
So yea, i'm gonna make a leap in my career this time, i'd never expect it to be easy, but i'm gonna move on with this!
Now please allow me to re-introduce myself ~
Wilson, the mangaka (漫画家), at your service!
