A couple of weeks ago, I ran into my boyhood friend David for the first time in twenty years. I heard that David had made fortune on the stock market. So I was surprised he wasn’t driving an expensive car, or wearing expensive clothes. As a matter of fact, he looked a lot like me, wearing an inexpensive suit that looked a couple of years old and driving an old car with a little rust around the edges. I asked him what he was doing in these years and he said he was teaching business at a local community college. "Teaching business?" I exclaimed. "I heard you were in New York, making a fortune in stocks." David smiled, "Yea, I did that until about five years ago. But I got out. The stress was giving you a stomachache and a bad heart. Besides, once I got into that business, I had to nm just to keep up. I did not have any time to spend with my family. We are all much happier now." I shook my head. He had chosen every man’s ambition, but he gave it up. I had always dreamed of having money. But it never occurred to me that there might be disadvantages to be in rich.
