Why is it that people from a certain origin - in this case being asian - are categorised as being of certain disposition - amibitious and wealth driven. Is that really the be all and end all of everything. Why are these people so pre-occupied with obtaining riches and less concerned about anything else. I don't know whether it is the manner and fashon the British press portrays British Asians, or whether it is nothing to do with the reporting but more to do with British Asians' attitudes and shallow outlook of the bigger picture. Either way, this section of the BBC site makes me cringe with embarassment. As an Asian born and raised in London, I feel there are far more pressing issues to vent out concerns about. Instead, I am forced to write in about a topic that is mere child's play in comparison to what is really disturbing my thoughts - climate change, wzar, terrorism, poverty, arms race. Why don't you people, not discounting the editor of this site, for once just grow up!! Pathetic, every last one of you and I say this with complete conviction, meet me in person and I'll show you all what I mean!!

A million is nothing nowadays, dont get me wrong good to have it but there are people out there with hundreds of millions. They're the ones who you should be talking about. I made my first million at 28 and still think i'm just average.

I make my money but my family are not aware at present that i have a fortune in my bank accounts. The way forward is to be discreet about it because there are so many copy cats.To make money for me is to be different from every one else. i like to be different from you all. I mean one level higher from the rest.Good luck.

It's not how much you make.But what you do with it. None of these people have openly talked about how they gave back. Good examples of people openly giving back to society are: Bill Gates, Sunny Bono of U2, Oprah, Nelly, Snoop, Shaq ect... Why as asians are we focused on only showing the world how successfull we are, when their are so many of our kins who are swimming in poverty. Lets get our priorties straight. Nothing wrong with making money but lets do something substantial in society with it and let the world know we are doing this openly so others will follow. Just as we are vocal and proud of our accomplishments.

Their work ethic is different too. "Young people want to work smart rather than work hard," says Ms Dhaliwal, who also compiles Eastern Eye's Asian Rich List. "They are fiercely ambitious, but are reluctant to put in the time." ^ I totally 100% agree with that, describes me perfectly. It's amazing how you can be lazy and still be successful in the UK

Surely it doesn’t matter if these people are Asian, European, American or any nationality. What matters is the methodology they have used to be a millionaire. I think it is a disgrace that there is a topic about this when there’s no difference. Everyone should be allowed to be given the chance to voice their opinions. On another note Ravi said it cost a few friends, my ex-friend Alex does that, sits at home in his room on his pc 24-7 and now he has no friends because he rants on about his website which is useless and nothing new. I think young people should be encouraged to have a better quality of life with socialising rather than boarded up in a hidey hole away from the world. Congrats to Ravi though, he certainly did it and if he doesn’t regret the loss of friends...so be it.

It just shows how our young generation is dedicated, and even more motivated to succeed and make it in life. They have kept the values and principles their parents gave as well as on experience plus dedication.

i think everyone everyone can do well in life, its just setting out goals, its not how good you are but how good you want to be! and that should be 'the best'. heres an extract from a book by richard branson: i believe in goals. its never a bad thing to have a dream, but i'm PRACTICAL about it. everyone dreams of becoming wealthy, cant sit day dreaming about things that are impossible. i set goals and then work out how to acheive them. anything i want to do in life i want to do well and not half heartedly. best thing is JUST DO IT. it doesnt mattar what it is or how hard it may seem, as the ancient greek, Plato said 'The beginning is the most important part of any work'.

Im a young entrepreneur... i worked ma way thru and earned ma money... to earn any kind of money you got to put the time n effort init... it doesnt differ you from your parents... you go thru similar routes, just on different level.. i did everything with and without ma parents help... each generation has different views which one cant change anyway..

The important thing is what the person is worth inside because that's what counts.
