The Accidental Millionaire - How to Succeed in Life Without Really Trying (Electronic book text)

The Accidental Millionaire is the memoir of Gary Fong, would-be slacker who revolutionized wedding photography, inventor of popular photography aids, entrepreneur, contrarian, bon vivant and a man who really, really didnOCOt want to become a doctor. A first-generation Chinese-American, Gary was raised in one of Los AngelesOCO least-desirable neighborhoods and was forced to dealOCoin his own quirky and often very funny wayOCowith the burdens of poverty, crime and his parentsOCO relentless aspirations. These issues almost overwhelmed him until he had a dramatic epiphany. Spotting a bumper sticker that read OC Since I gave up hope, I feel much better, OCO Gary promptly did just that.
He stopped trying and started succeeding. At turns hilarious, insightful and instructive, The Accidental Millionaire is Horatio Alger-meets-David Sedaris. Turning the traditional self-help principles upside down, The Accidental Millionaire disdains the goal-oriented approaches of traditional self-help philosophies. Sometimes not knowing where you are going is the best possible way to get there."
