Dick Head was a small man, reasonably good looking, highly intelligent. His downfall? He was deathly shy of people. Growing up he was unable to make friends and was afraid to talk to even his own parent.

He found comfort on the Internet. on the Internet he could be who he wanted to be, do what he wanted to do. He had accounts on several MMORPGs and spent most of his teenage years playing these and even more so now that he had finished school.

All little Dick wanted was a friend, He didn’t know how to make friends so he came up with an idea: If I dominate the world i could buy a friend! So he set about his journey to world domination. He cashed in all his second life credits and got approximately $56,000 which he had earned over 7years of playing the game, he then sold some of his more valuable comics on the Internet fetching him an extra $3,000.

He was ready to start his route to world domination when a voice rang through his house, “Dick, come for dinner, honey, it’s getting cold. You don’t like your food cold.”

“Mum! I’m about to start taking over the world! Dinner can wait!”

“Oh, you do make me laugh, Dick”

“Mum, I’m being serious!”

“Dick Head! Get your ass down here and eat your dinner now!”

“Fine, but you’ll be one of the first to perish under my tyranny! God! Making me eat, jeez, What’s her problem?” He muttered to himself

After dinner he set into his domination plan. He was expecting no more distractions. He first of all, started trading shares on the Internet. He was good at it. He knew how the trading system worked from his veteran experience of world of warcraft trading. In his first day he had made a $70,000 profit.

At 3a.m. He decided to embark upon the next step of his plan. He purchased a small suburban house and hired an agency to rent it out. He was now making 1,000S of dollars a day and his profit margins were continuing to grow day by day.

His empire grew so powerful that he was able to perform a hostile takeover of twitter. He now had, money, power and influence which continued to grow. He was on the Forbes rich list and climbing in rank.

He still had no friends, he had not left his house in over 7years, he was now 31, extremely rich but had become obese from his sedentary occupation and lack of exercise over the past years, and still had no people skills what so ever. He was miserable.

He invested billions in AI research so he could have a friend. No progress was made. His stocks began to fall, he had fallen from the Forbes list to the merely rich, he began drinking heavily.

One night, he decided to go see his neighbourhood, a great struggle for him and his new size, he came across a group of homeless men, smiling and sharing jokes together. He was jealous, he wished he had friends, he would give away his fortunes for such friends. He approached the men and asked how they were so happy despite being poor. the homeless man replied “true wealth is friends, you could be a billionaire and be miserable”

Dick replied ” I know, I’ve been there and I’m still looking for a friend.”

“Oh my days! Your Dick Head?”

“Yeah, uh, do you have any room for a slightly rich guy in your friends?”

“Yes, but on one condition, you have to live our way”

“Why not my way?”

“Because it’s the things you don’t have that make life worth living.”

“O.k, I’ll give it a go, but if I can’t will you come live with me?”

“I’ll agree because i guarantee you’ll love our way of life so much more.”

They shook hands.

Dick Head tried their way of life and within time forgot that he was a billionaire and was happier than he had ever been. He was no longer a lonely boy in his room, he had found true wealth – happiness.
