What's stopping you from getting what you want out of life?

[Twenty Dollars]

Nothing is preventing me, just because I may not yet have achieved all that I plan to, doesn't mean that it has been prevented.  Parenthood has derailed me from a few goals, but they're not forgotten, just paused.

Morning Mona. Parenthood comes with tons of responsibilities. It's a huge task. Remember that a day will come when your life will be awarded back to you. The best is on its way.

When I get older, I'm going to lie and say I'm way older than I am then everyone will think I look awesome for my age haha

When though? I have a son who will be twenty five soon and he still cannot stand on his own two feet.

Yes. I guess he must have overlooked some legal technicality.

I got this from Wikipedia..



His late-night infomercial featured Vu surrounded by luxury items: mansions, yachts, expensive cars and, most visibly, collections of young bikini-clad women. He promoted his free 90-minute seminar to learn the same secrets he used to make millions. As a Vietnamese immigrant, he presented himself as the classic "rags to riches" story. His infomercials promoted free seminars that served as advertisements for paid seminars, the most expensive of which was a week-long seminar held only in Orlando, Florida that cost as much as $16,000. Vu's investment theory involved finding "distressed" properties — foreclosures, bankruptcies, divorces, tax liens — and selling them at a profit.[1]



In the early 1990s, Vu was sued by former students and investigated by the government for alleged violations of securities laws, fraud and false advertising.[2]



Formerly of Longwood, Florida[1] and later a California resident, Vu has retired from real estate and lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.



Professional poker career[edit]



Vu continues his parallel career as a tournament poker player. As of 2014, he has won more than $1,800,000 in casino poker tournaments, including a second-place finish in a no limit Texas hold 'em event at the 2007 World Series of Poker[3] and a 22nd-place finish at the 2005 World Series of Poker championship event.[4] His 9 cashes at the WSOP account for $827,562 of his lifetime tournament winnings.[5]



In April 2006, he finished ninth in the Season Five World Poker Tour championship event, earning $216,585.

Interesting. I always wondered what became of him.

Yeah, I know. My eldest is 21 this year. So I've raised one to adulthood. The other four boys are 10 and 12. So still a way to go with them. And it goes by so fast that I don't want to miss it.
