If I Were a Billionaire

Money has become a must in today’s society. Most people are willing to do almost anything to get money. Some of these people such as Bill Gates, Ross Perot and Jack Welch have been extremely successful in earning money that they have now become billionaires.

If I, myself were a billionaire, oh, the wonders I could do! There is so much one can do with big amount of money, but money should not just be used for personal interests. Money should also used meaningfully, so that others may also benefit from one’s fortune.

If I were a billionaire, the first thing I would do is to sponsor a research on cure for cancer. Cancer has become the number one killer among males and females, young and old, with millions suffering from it worldwide. There is no definite cure for cancer, not yet. But with my contribution, I hope the people suffering from cancer may have a new hope in life.

Secondly, I would donate some money to charitable organizations such as orphanages and old folks’ homes. These people deserve our love and attention and therefore should be assisted so that they can overcome their hardships and misery.

Then, I shall proceed to contribute a large sum of money to the Malaysian Ministry of Education. With that money, I hope the Ministry will proceed to upgrade the schools in our country so that our future generations will receive the best education possible.

Of course, I will also reward my parents by letting them explore the world and enjoy their golden years. They deserve it as they are the ones apart from God, who have helped me the most to accomplish many things in life and my success.

I then shall proceed to sponsor a program that trains people who are extremely talented in any kind of field. From dancing to writing, I hope I can train these people so that they may also become famous and glorify Malaysia.

These ambitions may be a little high for me to achieve, but that will not hinder me from working hard to accomplish these great feats. With God’s help, I hope I can help the world become a better place.
