When I was broke, I learned how to squeeze a buck till it screamed in pain and gave up everything it had. Most of you have had that experience.

When I was POOR, I learned how to stroke a dime gently till it giggled, begged for mercy, and got bigger-- big enough to stand up straight and go to work for me. I doubt many of you have had that experience to the extent that you can relate to the imagery.

No, I didn't become a hooker-- despite the imagery of that description-- I just learned how to make small bucks turn themselves into bigger ones.
