Hi, My name is Edward and I want to tell you a story from my life about how good things happen when you have perseverance and patience. How I turned $50K into $1 million. In about 1987 when I was 21, I decide to buy real estate. I am a native San Francisco, born in Chinatown from a very modest family income (basically poor). Even though my parents never stressed getting a good education, they did... Read More »

My blemishes are only skin deep. My skin won’t stop me because…. I hate it, but It’s mine. It’s the only one I’ll ever have. I have extremely sensitive skin. My hair touches my neck, and I break out in blotchy red spots. Wearing a necklace? Blotchy red spots. Give someone a hug? You guessed it! Blotchy red spots! Recently I went to Hawaii to see family.
