Sunshine Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fortune will fine you if you are destined to be wealthy. Problem is, most ppl are not destined to be wealth, but believe that they are, and pay to pursue the wealth that was never meant to be from the start. then again we need fools like that to sponsore our charitable cause through the tote board, and that's a good thing.
