Pinoy Henyo (Genius)

i want to share the forwarded e-mail message i had received. it's a story of a "bright" pinoy millionaire...

A rich Filipino millionaire walked into a bank in New York City one day and asked for the loan officer.He told the loan officer that he was going to Philippines for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan.Then the man handed over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produced the title and everything checked out The loan officer agreed to accept the car as collateral for the loan.The bank’s president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the guy for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank’s underground garage and parked it there.

Two weeks later, the guy returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest, which came to $15.41.The loan officer said, “Sir, we are very happy to have had and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow “$5,000″.The Rich Millionaire Filipino replied: “Where else in New York City can I park my car for $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return”

to think that he is already a millioniare but his attitude and the way he thinks really prove where he is right now.

every single centavo is important. it is not really the "value" and "materiality" of the amount but rather how we valued the portion of our wealth.

Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.- Albert Einstein

use ur money wisely!

A friend of mine shared this story also, but since it was verbal, everything was summarized. I really think that this man is smart then but he became even more clever when i read this post of yours! Is he really a living figure or just a product of ingenious mind?!? Just wondering... :)
