Some people think that doing what you love or investing in what you love or becoming healthy out of love means things should be easy. Love is not easy and it can sometimes be painful. Many people give up loving (whether it was a job, a person, a place – it could be anything) because it was painful. How many of us have heard someone say, “I’ll never love again.”
Love may not make life easier, but it does give meaning to life.Speaker: Robert T. KiyosakiSource: Why We Want You to Be RichPosted: 20 Sep 2008 at 9:27 PMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
Love is the key to a life of health, wealth, and happiness. It is easier to be healthy if you are happy. It is easier to be wealthy if you are happy. And it is easier to be happy if you are in love with what you are doing.

The best way to change the rules is to first get the gold. If you have the gold, then you have more power. When you have the power, you are better able to enforce the real Golden Rule, the rule that states, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

Entrepreneurs have two characteristics… ignorance and courage.
... In my opinion, it is this relationship between ignorance and courage that is the essence of life itself.Speaker: Robert T. KiyosakiSource: Increasing Your Financial IQPosted: 20 Sep 2008 at 8:40 PMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
As far as tithing goes, we continue to donate a large percentage to charitable organizations. It’s important to give. As my very religious friend says, “God does not need to receive, but humans need to give.” Also, the reason we give is because tithing is our way of paying our partner – God. God is the best business partner I’ve ever had. He asks for 10 percent and lets me keep the other 90 percent. You know what happens if you stop paying your partners? They stop working with you. That is why we tithe.

It doesn’t matter which party is elected into office. If it’s Democrats, they will probably tax and spend. If it’s Republicans, they will probably borrow and spend.

A bureaucrat’s job is to get their hands deeper in your pockets – legally – and your job is to have them take as little as possible – legally.

Many think of capitalists as pigs. And many are greedy pigs. Yet there are capitalists who do a lot of good, such as provide health care, food, transportation, energy, and communications to the world. As a capitalist who does my best to make the world a better place, my problem is with people who want to be paid for doing nothing or paid more to do less. In my opinion, a person who wants to be paid more and do less, or nothing, is also a greedy pig.

Intelligence is not about memorizing old answers and avoiding mistakes – behavior our school system defines as intelligent. True intelligence is about learning to solve problems in order to qualify to solve bigger problems. True intelligence is about the joy of learning rather than the fear of failing.

Like it or not, everyone is already playing the game of money. Rich or poor, we are all involved in the game of money. The difference is some people play harder, know the rules, and use them to their advantage more than others. Some people are more dedicated, more passionate, more committed to learning and to winning. When it comes to the game of money, most people are playing – if they know they are playing at all – not to lose rather than playing to win

If I could leave one single idea with you, it is that idea. Whenever you feel “short” or in “need” of something, give what you want first and it will come back in buckets. That is true for money, a smile, love, friendship.

Always remember to have fun. This is only a game. Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn. But have fun. Most people never win because they’re more afraid of losing. That is why I found school so silly. In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk. The same is true for learning to ride a bike. I still have scars on my knees, but today I can ride a bike without thinking. The same is true for getting rich. Unfortunately the main reason most people are not rich is because they are terrified of losing. Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.

Retirement does not mean not working. To my wife and me, it means that barring unforseen cataclysmic changes, we can work or not work, and our wealth grows automatically, staying way ahead of inflation. I guess it means freedom. The assets are large enough to grow by themselves. It’s like planting a tree. you water it for years and then one day it doesn’t need you anymore. Its roots have gone down deep enough. Then, the tree provides shade for your enjoyment.

Rich dad went on to explain that the rich know that money is an illusion, truly like the carrot for the donkey. It’s only out of fear and greed that the illusion of money is held together by billions of people thinking that money is real. Money is really made up. It was only because of the illusion of confidence and the ignorance of the masses that the house of cards stood standing.

“The main cause of poverty or financial struggle is fear and ignorance, not the economy or the government or the rich. It’s self-inflicted fear and ignorance that keeps people trapped.”
