It has been said that “If wishes were horses, even beggars, would ride”. However, it is wonderful to have wishes. Even though wishes may not come true there is no harm in dreaming. I often dream that I have become a millionaire.

I am not a “poor” man but I would like to have so money that I could do something for those who are less fortunate than me. I do not see any harm in having every luxury for myself if in turn I can do something worth while for the poor. It has bee my dream to see each child well nourished. When I see children on the streets with no food I feel a great sense of pain. Although their parents try their best, they cannot provide their children with food, clothing and shelter. Then they turn to begging. They live in pathetic conditions. They do not get education and continue to live in the darkness of ignorance.

If I were a millionaire, I would do my best to provide permanent shelter, food and clothing for the poor. I would open schools where the children could learn all that I have learnt in my school. I would help them to be so independent that they can find fruitful employment for themselves in the future.

Besides this, I would build hospitals so as to provide them with good medical facilities. India has progressed a lot and we do have some good medical facilities but the poor people cannot afford these. If a poor child is sick, there is every possibility that he may die due to the lack of medicines and doctors. I would like to build a hospital with modern facilities where people will get medical assistance free of cost.

I would donate money to social service organizations like destitute homes, orphanages, homes for the aged and reformatories.

When one becomes extremely rich, one tends to forget the plight of those who are less fortunate. My motto would be, “live and let live”. In fact I would do all that I could for my parents too so that they may not have to break their backs working for us. I would make them so comfortable that even in their old age they would feel great to be alive. I would like to enjoy the fruits of money but I would always remain sensitive and sympathetic to the agony of those who are less fortunate. I would use my riches to serve humanity and make this world a better place to live in.
