Passage 4
Alex Taw,a 21 year old 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 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 name.He divided the blank homepage into one million pixels,10,000 blocks of 100 pixels each.Each pixel was worth$1 with 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 Million Dollar Homepage?
“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.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 learned 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.
