Rich in choice
To be rich is to have a choice.
What you eat.
When you eat.
Where you eat.
Where you live.
What you wear.
What you drive.
What you watch.
Which brand of coffee you drink.
The moment you can make a choice about something, you are a little richer.
The more choices you can make about your life, the richer you are.
What computer you have.
Which Operating System you use.
Who your doctor is.
Where you go to school.
Which job you will take.
What job you can apply for.
The more choices, the richer you are.
