Hello, it's Mr.Wong here. Ever wanted to be a millionaire ? Better yet, ever wanted to be a self-made millionaire ? Well, I do too, but as you can see，I'm still poor as f..., so instead, let me tell you a short joke about money, here we go :

There was a new CEO at a company who decided to fire all of the slackers. When he got done with that, he finds a dude leaning on his desk. He thinks to himself, "What the #$%#@ is he doing !?" So he walks up to the guy and says, "What the hell are you doing !?" The guy says, "I'm waiting to get paid." The CEO says, "OK, how much do you get paid in a week ?" The guy says "About $300." The CEO gives the guy $1200, and says, "Now go away and never come back !" The guy walks away. 

The CEO says, "Will someone please tell me who the hell hired that guy ??!?!" An employee says, "Nobody, but you just tipped the pizza man $1200." HOHOHOHOHO ! Alright, now it's time for today's word of the day, which is "self-made". Check it out !
