[You]- A man named Adrian Carlson, an investor who does not have any care for religious faith. [Need] – Carlson is the world’s best investor and invested in up and coming businesses though he often didn’t agree with their practices. He spots what he believes a place where he can make easy money and arrogantly puts everything on that business. The business eventually fails and Carlson is out of money and owes other millions. He lost millions of dollars that belonged to one of the biggest mafia bosses in New York. He is given 10 days to get back the money or he will be killed. [GO]- Even though he was so good at investing, his one mistake cost him his confidence.

Carlson randomly meets a guru in the middle of the street who understands his problem and tells him that he must find faith and his problems will be solved. [Find]- Carlson, desperately speaks with every type of religious minister in New York, from Buddhist priests to Rabbis. After his long journey he reflects and feels that it was pointless. He states that everybody told him the same thing “To receive you must believe”. Carlson thought that he had to believe in every god and they would send him the money, but it never worked. Carlson thinks back to a time where he first started investing. He was never good at first, but he slowly become more experienced. He would often invest in something that everyone else felt was mediocre, but he believed so strongly in it and kept his faith and he succeeded. It was then that it came to him. All these years he had invested in things he truly never agreed with. If he had to succeed he needed to invest in something he believed in a keep faith no matter what. [Take]- Earnestly he goes forward receives loan money and invests in a local store that sells cheap things for the poorer people of the city. As a child he often bought things from stores like this, and with the economy this bad it was sure to make money. At first it seems a failure, the money looks to no use and Carlson only has a few more days. [Return] – Carlson does not give up hope and attempts to persuade a wealthy business man to invest in more stores. The business man, Mr. Walrus is astounded by Carlson’s hope and belief in this small mart. For some reason he ends up investing in more stores, and they are all a big hit. They are then renamed as Walmart and Carlson makes millions once more. [Change]- When the mafia boss comes to pick up his money, Carlson has him arrested. He is longer afraid of making a mistake and he now follows his beliefs which tell him that what the Mafia Boss been illegally taking money and that is wrong.
