| Alex Taw, a 21yearold student from Wiltshire, England. He spent last summer like any other high school graduate-hanging out with friends, preparing for college, worrying about his university fees. While most of his peers gave up on their pipe dreams, he sat down with a notebook at home, and jotted down (草草记下) the question: How can I become a millionaire? The result was the Million Dollar Homepage. com. Alex's initial investment was 50 pounds to buy web space and a domain (领域) name. He divided the blank homepage into one million pixels (电脑上的像点), 10,000 blocks of 100 pixels each. Each pixel was worth $ 1, minimum purchase: 100 pixels. Within a month Alex had earned some $ 37,000, enough for him to cover the entire cost of his forthcoming three years at university. In just a few months, he became a real millionaire. How did he come up with the idea of the Millionaire Dollar Home Page? "Well, I was trying to think of a way to make some money before I started university, as I was about to take on a huge debt and I was already overdrawn (透支). Swift action was necessary!" He said. He also added, "The important thing is that anything is possible-we are only limited by our imagination. I always had this belief that a good idea can be successful on its own. I think I've learnt that if we think deeper there are magical solutions hiding away for us to find." His personal philosophy around money is: Money is not everything, but it's an essential part of the way we live. Having__some__removes__a__certain__amount__of__stress,__but,__unless__we__ are__careful,__it__can__create__a__new__type__of__stress. He also said, "I still want to go to university. Aside from gaining knowledge about business, there are other reasons-exploring your interests, meeting new people, and being in a creative environment." Besides making contributions to society, he would try to encourage and inspire people to think of creative solutions to problems, whatever they are. |
