Secret Millioniare by FOX

[usakos]

Secret Millionaire (www.fox.com/secretmillionaire) is a reality TV show on Fox. I have never watched it until today. It is actually a great show. It's really an amazing show.

In all the reality shows out there right now and in recent years, Secret Millionaire, is probably the best show out there now, because it's reaching real people through other people who've already made it, to make a real difference in the life of those who are doing extra ordinary things to help others.

But one thing that is even better, the show features one of the characters, Gurbaksh Chahal, whom I have just come to learn more today.

The following is Chahal's brief bio I copied at the Secret Millionaire web site. Like other successful entrepreneurs out there, G inspires me. His family's history coming to America from India inspires me even more.

A technology entrepreneur, Gurbaksh Chahal, also known as "G," left high school at age 16 to form Click Agents, an internet advertising company, which he sold two years later for $40 million. In January 2004, Chahal launched BlueLithium, a company focused on the next generation in online advertising, and just over three years later, BlueLithium was sold to Yahoo! for $300 million. Now, at 26 years old, Chahal is set to debut his third company, gwallet.com, and has written a memoir, titled "The Dream," to be released later this year.

Chahal's personal web site is at www.chahal.com.

So, you ask yourself why do I post this info here, so it may inspire you as well.

Yeah, I saw that show last week. $40 Million in two years is ridiculous!

I think this is a very bad show, because it focuses on poverty. Wallace Wattles said in the "Science of Getting Rich" that if you want to get rich, you must focus on wealth and you must not focus on poverty at all. He said focusing on poverty doesn't help poor people get out of poverty. Also he said some things against charity, which I was glad he said. I'm sick and tired of people thinking that giving to charity is such a great thing. I think charity is mostly a bad thing and a waste of money. It involves giving handouts to people and treating them like losers who can't help themselves. As long as someone thinks of himself as a helpless person who needs handouts, then that person will remain a loser. So that's one of the big reasons why charity is bad. What people really need is to learn how to be strong, independant and positive-minded and to learn how to help themselves! I've never heard of charity programs actually accomplishing much. I think they're stupid. I think most charity programs are really lame, weak, and ineffectual. I think they exist so that certain people can feel like they're helping others. But it's really a farce.

I'd rather watch a show like "Beautiful Homes and Great Estates" so I can see the mansions of successful millionaires and be inspired by them. This is something positive and uplifting. It's good for you. I wish there were a lot more TV shows about rich people. It would help people to see good role models of successful people that they could emulate.

"Charity" exists so the poor won't kill the rich. That's my theory, anyway. The idea is that if there's some wealth trickling down that the poor won't be attracted to Communism and decide to kill the rich people and seize their wealth for forcible redistribution. The various Palm Beach charity balls are mostly for social climbing, with some money for charity so as to deflect criticism. If you want some good stuff about the rich, read Richistan by Robert Frank.

CNBC had a special called Untold Wealth that ran in June, it was still being run in October but they may have pulled it by now. The website was Untold Wealth: The Rise of The Super Rich - CNBC.com . If the site is no longer up, try looking for it on Youtube. The full title was Untold Wealth: The Rise of the Super Rich. Untold Wealth was very inspirational, I liked the guy who couldn't remember how many cars he owned, and who had two TVs in the mirror of his mansion's master bathroom. Then there was the guy who had a huge gold harp that looked rather ridiculous. It would be nice to have so much money that you have no clue how to spend it all, so you buy a gold harp.
