    About this ebook

    Everyone has a gift, something unique that makes them special. I spent my life searching for mine only to discover without luck, you’re wasting your time. I joined a firm of Stockbrokers on Friday then Black Monday hit and wiped me out. I formed a band and landed the first digital recording deal just before the record company folded. There was more chance of a rocking horse winning the Grand National than me living the dream; but I was not bitter. I found peace; I found a better dream. I am George and this is my story.

    GEORGE WONG

    I am your typical numb male, more of a doer than a thinker. I’d like my 15 minutes but will settle for 5. I am your everyday day dreamer looking for the truth constantly checking his lap for arrival.
