Good one. I did a different illustration for a college presentation a couple of years ago. It is true that with discipline, everyone will have an opportunity to be a millionaire.

I have a lot of work to do so I can be a millionaire. I don't know if I can be one but my husband's goal is to be one. It's his ultimate goal I should say...I think he's going to achieve it someday soon.
