Pipeline Story

Once upon a time,there are 2 buddies(A and B)living in a village.Both of them are young and always talk about their dreams whenever they are sitting together.They always want to be a rich and successful person and looking for opportunity.
One day,the villagers decided to hire 2 men to carry water from the river to the village.Without thinking about it,both A and B went for the job.They get pay for each bucket of water.
Each A and B excitedly grab 2 buckets and head to the river.By the end of the day,they earn the 1st income by themselves.
"Dreams come true!" shouted B.But A wasn't so sure about it. He felt the pain on his back and hands.Yet he still happy and proud of himself.
The next day,A and B woke up early and do the same thing again - get water and then get paid...
Day past by days,they doing the same thing over and over again.When they got some money they buy some larger bucket Their buckets are getting bigger and bigger so that they can carry more water at once.A and B getting more money then before but A starting to feel tired and his pain is getting worst.
During a lunch break,A though of something. He asked B"Why don't we build a water pipe from the river to the village so that we can get more money without carry buckets?"
B laughed and said :"Stop dreaming!There are no such thing as free money without working.We having a great job and good money now."
But A was not so easy discouraged. After carrying the buckets whole day,A went to build his plan(pipeline) during the night while the others are enjoying their rest time including B.
After a few days,A's income is getting lower than B while his pipeline is still in process.A work hard every night to build his pipeline.The villagers laugh at A for his stubbornest and even give him a nickname - Mr pipeline.Even though it is a hard hard work,A never give up on his pipelines because he knew that this pipeline can make his dreams come true."Keep your eyes on the prize not the obstacle!"he repeatedly telling himself. "Keep your eyes on the prize..."
Days turn into months,A keep encourage himself to be strong no matter how people see and say about him.B still continues his buckets-carry job and afford to buy a new house.But B is getting tired and his back is starting to hunch due to the job.
After 2 years,A's pipeline has finish.From that day onwards A can rest whenever he want,do whatever he wants,go wherever he wants yet his income is still coming.This is because the water is running by themselves from the river through the pipeline he built when he is sleeping,when he is eating or when he is enjoying his time overseas with his family.On the other hand B still need to do the bucket-carried job everyday.When he's sick or not carrying buckets he has no income. No buckets of water = no $$
The income keep coming even though he past way.The money goes to his next generation,next next generation...keep on coming without stop.
A had become popular and people start to admire him and say he is a Miracle Maker,some people even say he is lucky and fortune.Then he said:"Becoming a millionaire is a matter of choice,not chance!"

So think about it,are you doing the bucket-carry job or building your pipeline?If you still think that your job can give you a financial security,PLEASE think again.You didn't go to work for 1 day,you got no salary for that 1 day.What if you got accident or sick and stay in the hospital for 1 month?What if 1 day you lost your arm or leg?Can you still working as a pro. like before?You might lost your job for your whole life and go for a lower salary job.Think about it people. Are you a bucket carrier or pipeline builder?
