We have all had dreams of becoming rich and famous or have designed cool inventions in our minds. I think it would be neat if we listed some stories about people who acted on their dreams and made it. Maybe the stories that we share will inspire us to act on some of our ideas and/or dreams. I hope that you will join me and share some stories with us.

PICTIONARY: A RAGS TO RICHES TALE
Rob Angel's occupation was a waiter in Seattle. In 1986, he developed the fast-paced drawing game of Pictionary. He reportedly refined his idea by playing the game with friends in bars. The game first sold in Nordstrom's department stores before being picked up by a series of games distributors, which made the game a huge success and the former waiter a millionaire.
