Akira Endo, PhD, a Japanese biochemist whose research helped create statins, died June 5 at 90, The New York Times reported June 12. Dr. Endo was fascinated with molds and fungi, and, in the 1970s, turned to fungi in an effort to find a natural substance to block production of cholesterol. He grew more than 6,000 fungi until he found a strain of blue mold that fit the criteria. By the 1980s, Dr. Endo and his team published their research on statins. By 1987, other researchers confirmed the finding and Merck was the first manufacturer of licensed statins.

So you want to be rich. But how will you know when you've achieved it? It all depends on your point of reference. If you have enough food and clean water, you're already wealthier than millions of people worldwide. Own a house and a car? You've surpassed many billions more. Wealth is also relative to your location. A salary of $100k might place you among the elite in an economically depressed area but might equate to poverty in more affluent regions. Therefore, being rich might not necessarily mean having more money but rather living in a place where your money stretches further.
