P R O F I T

Speak up and stop mumbling, I'm sitting on top and it's hard to hear you from way up here.

About Me

No, life isn't easy. It can be lonely: full of people we think we know, but barely comprehend. Yet we must always remember, it's the challenges that define us best and the obstacles that illuminate what we're truly capable of. We must welcome adversity and embrace struggle, and no matter what we get from life, never give less than 100%. Of course, at the end of every battle-weary day, we fold ourselves into peaceful darkness and find comfort in those gentle words: Goodnight. "Orbis non sufficit"

My Interests

I am a real estate investor/developer, businessman and philanthropist. The only thing that sustains one through life is the consciousness of the immense inferiority of everybody else, and this is a feeling that I have always cultivated.

I'd like to meet:

Sometimes we meet people who are living proof that beauty and intelligence are not mutually exclusive. Allow me to introduce you to a profound young woman making her mark in the business world as well as reaching young people about having the courage to stand up for your convictions.Her name is Kaicee.I know what you're thinking, that I always have the most beautiful young women featured in this space so what makes her different? Well, let me start by saying, you're right, she is absolutely breathtaking!I usually feature a professional model who is making a difference with her work aimed at young people but Kaicee has the looks of any Import Tuner model (only better) and she really supports and understands what young people go through. She's quick witted, sincere, funny and unapologetically blunt. The true makings of a Mrs. Profit! Currently Kaicee is working on a book to speak to the hearts and minds of young Asian women who were adopted into the US. More than 200,000 Asian children are adopted every year by American families most of those babies being girls. Kaicee hopes that her experiences growing up will make these children understand that they can overcome any and every obstacle, including those obstacles of adversity placed there by negative Asian American sterotypes that still plague us today. A student of business law, she's going to be a huge player in tomorrows market.Support this Profit-able beauty by going to her page and reading some of her motivational writings. If you like what I write here, then you'll more than love her style. You can go and become this young beauty's friend by going to her personal myspace page at his address http://www.myspace.com/honey1smile.She's a gracious young woman whose writings will absolutely inspire you.
