Introduction:

I am Steve Mazda and I am not related to the car. My father is from Poona India the poorest country in the world, and my mother's family is from outside of Budapest Hungry. They met at the International House on University of Pennsylvania campus. I was born and raised in Philadelphia.

I was lucky enough to attend William Penn Charter School and Drexel University where I prepared myself for the world that awaited me.

When I was in high school, a friend took me to an AMWAY meeting where the founder of this great company was to speak. A man started that presentation with a math problem that changed my life. I hope this math problem becomes the solution for making all your dreams come true. I always wanted to be the rich guy telling everyone else how I became successful and I am honoured to have achieved that goal.

Do you know what all rich people have in common with all poor people? 24 hours a day. No more, no less. So do you know what the most valuable thing in your whole life is?? The 24 hours you have every day and how you spend them. Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg, Ross Perot all multimillionaires. ...only have the same time each day. So how much is that 24 hours worth to you. Maybe $1 per second. Let's figure out what your day is worth at $1 per second, because numbers do not lie.

Math Problems / Solution:

If gave you $86,400 dollars today, could you spend it by the end of the day. How many minutes are there in a day? (24 hours x 60 minutes = 1440) How many seconds in a day? (1440 minutes x 60 seconds = 86,400 seconds in a day) You spend 86,400 seconds every day whether you want to or not. When the day is over it is spent. You can't get it back.

The lesson:

How you spend your time today, will determine whether or not you will have the earning power to make $86,400 in the future. How you spend your time wisely, you may even learn how to make $86,400 in one day in the stock market.

Here is another fun math problem:

You need money to make money, right? Well, why not cash in your $1,000,000 television chair. Do you realize the average person sits in front of the television set two or three hours a day. How many hours is that a year? (3x7=21, 21x52weeks=1092 hours per year) If you got a job at McDonalds for minimum wage of $5.75/hour that would add up to 1092x5.75=$6279 a year. If you worked at McDonalds just 3 hours a day for 45 years of your life you would have earned $282,555. If you invested that at 5% interest every year it would be worth $1,060,333 in forty five years.

The lesson:

How you spend your time watching 3 hours of television every day when you could have been working at McDonalds for at least minimum wage, over your working life you will have in effect paid over $1,000,000 for your T. V. chair. I hope it is a very comfortable chair!

Time is money. Do not waste it in a T.V. chair, because how you spend your time will determine how much wealth you will eventually create.
