Will you act any differently?

My friend was reading the news headline of a local news paper and asked me to explain the news item which she was reading: Trengganu Menteri Besar is yet to be sworn in.I tried my best to tell her the story behind the news item which was not reported.
On seeing me acting like an expert,she teased me,"Why didn't they instal you as Menteri Besar instead and solve the problem?"
I returned the joke and said,"yes they should!"
She said,"You will not remember old friends like us any more then".
I replied,"Of course,chances are I will not remember you!"
She was amused that I was so frank.
It is all a joke,but if I ever become rich or powerful,will I change or still remain humble? I dare not say for sure because I have seen too many cases where people changed after acquiring wealth or power.Fortunately I will never have to answer that question because it is next to impossible for me to be rich or powerful.
