Why don't you take a second and read this:

http://news-service.stanford.edu/new...bs-061505.html

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005 to the graduates of Stanford University.

Everyone wants to get rich quick, but you might find that getting rich can be the result of doing something you really love, and that you never really know what in your life is going to lead to riches one day.

well, the fastest way I can think of is

(1)do very good in your work **or profession

(2)learn to invest with your saving!
**to calculate "the risk factor" you can take in investment, just check your age.

if you are 25years old, you can use up to 75% of your investment in high return/high risk investment

if you are 35years old, you can use up to 65%

learn to trade stock market or mutual fund, as you are saving more and more, you are getting better.

I know that opportunities are everywhere.
My problem is having the right contacts and networking et cetra. As ARC says human beings are the best resources. I'm in need of a job, work, anything that'll put bread on the table and keep a roof over my head.
I know modeling is a good way of making copious amounts of cash and that is exactly what I'm doing, however my financial resources are running low.
But yeh, be a model. Miracles await. Fingers crossed. (uncross)

I think HK is a great place to lose money if you aren't careful.
