Money, Money, and Relationship

Hong KongI am 17 and a high school student. Before I read The Secret I always thought a lot of bad things which wandered in my brain again and again. However I was introduced to this book by my dearest friend, Stephen, this month, and I started to change my negative thoughts into positive thoughts, so I attract most of the things I have wished for every day.
I have an elder cousin, Alex, who I wanted a closer relationship with, but we live in different places; one in France and one in Hong Kong. We had not seen each other in two years when he came for a family gathering, but I did not know how to start our conversation and I was so shy to talk to him. Therefore, I waited for him to begin our conversation.
While I was waiting for him at our family’s gathering, I was thinking, “I WANT SOME MONEY! I WANT SOME MONEY!” As I was bored by just sitting in the corner and eating dim sum. After the gathering, Alex would be departing and going to Malaysia, so I was so disappointed at that moment because we had not started our conversation yet.
But when we went outside, for the first time Alex asked me a question. “Do you have any time to study?” I was shocked and answered, “Yes!” Then he asked me a favor, to do a business with him by buying hi-fis in Hong Kong and selling them in France. After the successful business, I can share in 50% of the profits. I accepted, and we shared our e-mail to each other. At that moment, I gained money, and a relationship with Alex.
