The 22-year old German poker player, Pius Heinz, has just won the World Series of Poker and as a result will be walking home with $8.72 million. While referred to as a professional poker player now, six months ago things were very different for Heinz.
The young man, who had been playing poker here and there, was not sure of his direction in life. Before signing up for the WSOP tournament, he was considering whether professional poker was for him, or whether he should go back to college.
We can not be sure if took the poker route to rebel or just because he felt it was his calling – but either way he made a pretty good choice as he is now a multi millionaire, something it would have taken him YEARS to achieve if he was still in college.
And on the subject of college:
A college student said to his mother, “I decided that I want to be a political science major and that I want to clean up the mess in the world!”
“That is very nice,” muted his mother. “You can go upstairs and start with your room.”
A son is calling his mom from college, and telling her that he had just got his degree. The mother says: That’s great honey! What kind of degree? And the son, almost squealing with excitement says: The best one ever, a Celsius degree!
