Okay... So, some might say, "Bill Gates"! Or some may answer Carlos Slim Helu, a Mexican, who was 2010's Richest Man... But, what I meant here is now just simply who literally is the World's Richest Man... What I mean is WHO FEELS LIKE HE/SHE IS THE RICHEST BECAUSE OF THE THINGS HE/SHE HAS not just material things but rather - FAMILY, FRIENDS, LOVE. What do you think does it really take for one to be called "RICH". Many people would consider that this word is just stacked to having tons of money, fame, glory in the eyes of others, material things. But are those things really what make a man rich? I personally believe it is far beyond that. We may see rich and famous people, but what do they feel? Are they happy and satisfied? On the other hand, we see people struggling to live... yet, they still smile and laugh. They are happy though they face hard times because they can feel the support from their friends and families. Who does not need a friend or a family to be by their side? So... who really is the richest man? The person who has billions of dollars in his hands... or the one who has real friends and contented life, which is less stressful than what billionaires' lives are.... Well, if you do not have money, you are stressed on thinking of ways to make money... but if you have a bunch of money, you are stressed on how to keep yourself alive and how to keep those money and so on... Are you rich? Or are you poor?

I'm rich cause I have my family, friends and colleagues who are ready to stand by me. I am poor cause I am still searching for the fulfillment of a dream. I thirst and hunger for it. I pray God will smiled on me and let this "dream" of mine come in reality. What's my dream? For my country to prosper and get out from the mess of deep corruption, for my people to have peace and contentment in living in our country. Longing and dreaming for this make me a poor body and soul.

In my own, "rich" have many categories. A person who lives in the world with more money is a rich person, a person who lived with many children, grandchildren, children of grandchildren and so on is also a rich person. We can't say who is the richest man living in the world, all we can say that we can live the life sad and happy. Rich man is also sad and happy just like the poor man....
