It certainly is not an accident Gary Fong has succeeded in
life, and has earned millions of dollars. A person of his wit, self-confidence, and integrity exemplifies the “American
Dream” in our “Land of Opportunity.” Opposed
to ego flaunting books of success by guys like Donald Trump, Gary Fong takes
the humble route, full of self-mockery and modest remarks, as he casts his fate
to the wind to free himself and let life lead his path. He is very unlike the Jack Welch type of
millionaire that professes the full control of cognitive evaluation of risk
approach, or the scores of books offering money making formulas investing in
real estate.
Gary Fong calls his auto-biographical book “A Memoir” – I
call it fantastic. From his
self-awareness of his own destiny as a child, he writes of whimsy incidents of
childish buffoonery, and mischievous clowning behavior. What won me over early on in his book was as
a kid he writes about taking lint balls off of his mother’s sweater while she
was napping and carefully dropping them in front of her nose while she inhaled. “Whoosh they were gone,” he writes. That slapstick humor brought an outburst of
actual laughter to me as his comic timing and use of onomatopoeia were
impeccable. Later, throughout the course
of his changing career from pre-med student to professional photographer, he
generously describes step-by-step the creative process of his genius. He finds a need and fills it. In doing so there normally exists a fine line
between conceit and clarification; however Gary Fong leaves no impression of
any priggishness. He is very honest,
modest and really a funny guy!
The Accidental
Millionaire: How to Succeed in Life Without Really Trying is a must for all young adults, college students, and just
about anybody with a desire to learn about taking control of one’s life in a
freelance sort of way. You don’t need to
be born with a silver spoon in this country to attain the fruition of success. Gary Fong certainly wasn’t. Attitude is everything, and Gary Fong took
responsibility for his own life early on, as a child, setting in motion a plan
for his survival. As capability comes
first, scalability followed. Once he was
able to provide for his own needs, his savings account grew, his light-hearted
attitude became contagious to those around him, and the world became his
oyster. What would not be “an accident”
is if his book were to sell millions of copies! There he goes again – another million dollars, without really trying.
