HOW THE GUY WHO ALMOST KILLED ME SAVED MY LIFE...
I was coming home from the bar I worked at - it
was around 5 am and I was feeling miserable.
Worst of all, I was starving and I only had enough money to get a hot dog from the 7/11 across the street...
My paycheck on September was gone 7 days after cashing it in. And I still had $1130 in debt after making the worst investment of my life - an online shop for children clothes.
I was really desperate... 32 years old and I couldn't afford to go out and have a beer with my friends, let alone take a girl out for dinner or anything.
If only I could find a better paid job!...

That's what was going
through my mind, rushing to get home, when I crossed the red light that changed
my life. I heard the car breaks squeak and the next second I was down on the
pavement. I was so absent minded, I didn't even realize I was crossing the street,
let alone see the red light.The driver got out of the car and helped me up. I was fine, mildly bruised from the fall, but no serious injury.
He looked at me and said: "Wilson man, I didn't even realize it was you! I'm so sorry. What were you thinking jumping in front of the car like that?"
That was Kean, my fellow from college, a really chubby guy back then who drop-out after the first year because he said school was a total waste of time and he wanted to make money, not spend it on tuition fee.
A few years after we stopped going to the same places I wondered from time to time what had come of him. I imagined him working petty jobs, just like me, or maybe even worse... living in a trailer and getting even chubbier...
And look at him now!
Fancy clothes on a worked-out body, driving an Aston Martin DBS...
Wow, who would've thought?!
He insisted on taking me out for lunch the next day, but I said no. I was embarrassed by the whole thing and made up some lie that I had to go out of town to visit some friends.
But he wouldn't let me go without giving him my phone number. He wanted to make sure I didn't develop any complications from the car accident.
Next week he called me and caught me completely off guard. I had to accept his lunch invitation back at his place.
I got to his home… and at first I thought I was hallucinating…
He owned the penthouse in the most expensive residential complex in the area…
When the door opened I saw what could have been my college dream room… just the living room was three times the size of my house…
