I was happy to find this man’s story.I was struck by the fact he chose to fly economy because he felt that wealth was not entrusted to him for showing arrogance or for spending extravagantly.There are billionaires who don’t want to own their own personal kites but few travel cattle class.

Since last Sunday,Wealthymatters has been sporting WordAds and I’m pretty pleased about it.I signed in today to find the WordAds in a little box and I think it’s much better than the previous format.And the videos are pretty neat.

Feel like a movie over the weekend?Might I suggest Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year? Here is a link to the complete movie http://www.hindilinks4u.net/2009/12/rocket-singh-salesman-of-the-year-2009.html
The movie is about how Rocket Singh becomes an entrepreneur.I watched this flick a couple of years back when it was newly released and I remember liking it a lot.I hope to feel the same tonight.If you have not caught this film as yet I urge you to do so.It’s well worth the time
BTW I hear that these days it’s part of some b-school’s course work.So watch,have fun,learn and maybe feel a bit virtuous too.Ciao!I’m off to watch the movie!

In 1966, Rollin W King sat with his lawyer, Herb Kelleher, in San Antonio’s St. Anthony Club and drew a triangle on a cocktail napkin. And lo, the napkin begat an airline. Rollin, owner of a money-losing commuter airline, wanted to start an intrastate carrier so the airline wouldn’t fall under the aegis of the Civil Aeronautics Board. Hence, the triangle. He labelled the corners “Dallas,” “Houston,” and “San Antonio”—The Golden Triangle of Texas. Read more of this post
