The Million Dollar Secret

    A young man asked an old rich man how he made his
    money.
    The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said,
    "Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great
    Depression.
    I was down to my last nickel.
    I invested that nickel in an apple.
    I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the
    end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents.
    The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two
    apples.
    I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at
    5:00 pm for 20 cents.
    I continued this system for a month, by the end of
    which I'd accumulated a fortune of $1.37. ...,


    Then my wife's father died and left us two million
    dollars."

    Which reminds me... there are only 3 secrets to health, wealth, happiness and life.

    The only problem is... nobody knows what they are!!!
