Haha, I used to interact with both Ron and Olivia and both are extremely driven personalities, far more so than me. I seriously doubt I would take the risks that they have taken. For every Ron Sim and every Olivia Lum, many many have failed. But for those like them who succeed, the rewards are hundreds of millions, rather than my modest (compared to them) net worth.
I'm not that passionate about equities, but coming from a poor background, I did dream about having a bungalow and a supercar. Fortunately I got there, semi-retired and managed to bond with the kids before they left the nest (helps to have children young!)
