Rich Dad Poor Dad
Does teaching always mean talking or a lecture? Yes. that's how they teach you in school. But that is not how life teaches you.
Most of the time life does not talk to you. It just sort of pushes you around. Each push is life saying "Wake up. There's something I want you to learn."
People do two things:
Some just let life push them around. Others get angry and push back. But, they push back against their boss, job, husband or wife. They do not know it is life that pushing.
A few learn the lesson and move on. They welcome life pushing them around. To those few people, it means they need and want to learn something. Most? They quit and a few fight.
If you learn life's lessons, you will do well. If not, life will just continue to push.
"Hey life. Hey my company. You said that you would give me more if I work for you. Well, I have. I've worked hard. I've given up my 3-4 hours of free time, my health and my anything, just to work for you but you haven't kept your word. You haven't given me anything. I didn't get promoted, you only pay me X (your salary). You tortured me and you lied. I deserve to treated better... bla bla bla"
Sound familiar?
"So, what's the life's lesson I need to learn? what is the lesson from working for only XX a month? That my company is cheap and exploit workers?"
You've just mention the lesson, that is, you'd best change your POINT OF VIEW. Stop blaming company, wife, husband, boss, job and thinking they're the problem. If you think they are the problem, then you have to change them. But, if you realize that you're the problem, then you can change yourself, learn something and grow wiser. Most people want everyone else in the world to change but themselves.
At the end, it's easier to change yourself then everyone else.
"Well it's easy, if you don't pay me more or give me more, I'll just quit."
That's exactly what most people do. They quit and go looking for another job, another opportunity, and a higher pay. Actually thinking that, that will solve the problem. In most cases, it won't.
"So what should I do? just take this measly XX a month and smile?"
That's also what the other people do. But that's all they do. Waiting for a raise thinking that more money will solve their problems. Most just accept it, and some take a second job, working harder, but again accepting a small paycheck.
So what will solve the problem?
That's one kind of person..
or
If you're kind of person who has no guts, you just give up every time life pushes you then die a boring old man and woman. You'll have lots of friends who really like you because you were such a nice hardworking guy. But the truth is that you let life push you into submission. Deep down you were terrified of taking risks. You really wanted to win, but the fear of losing was greater than the excitement of winning. Deep inside, you and only you, will know you didn't go for it. You choose to play it safe.
What will solve?
That stuff between our ears. It is a singular point of view that makes all the difference over a lifetime.
Before I take this any further, let us reflect.. How many times in life, we've heard about..
"I want you to study hard, get good grades, so you can find a safe, sacure job, with a big company.
And make sure it has excellent benefits."
???
Then your mind was set "a good company with excellent benefits."
You work very hard for little money (even tho you think it's a good pay), clinging to the illusion of job security, and looking forward to a three-week vacation each year and maybe a skimpy pension after 45 years of service...
...And the pattern was also set, the pattern of get up, go to work, pay bills, get up, go to work, pay bills--A Rat Race, just for monthly price.
Yes, most people have a price. And they have a price because of human emotions named fear and greed.
First, the fear of being without money motivates us to work hard, and then once we get that paycheck, greed or desire starts us thinking about all the wonderful things money can buy. A luxe Maldives trip? The newest model of Gucci belt bag?
Sounds familiar?
So why do most people say that?
Yes. People make that recommendation primarily out of fear. They are terrified that, we won't earn enough money, and won't fit into society. Don't get this wrong.
Those who said that love you and want the best for you, I as an individual, also believe an education and a job are won't handle the fear.
What intensifies fear and desire is ignorance. That is why rich people with lots of money often have more fear the richer they get. And it is ignorance about money that causes so much greed and fear.
Let this case explains:
A doctor, wanting more money to better providing for his family, raises his fees. By raising his fees, it makes health care more expensive for everyone. It hurts the poor people the most, so they have worse health than those with money. Because the raise, our taxes raises, schoolteacher want a raise, and so on.
The logic is prices go up because of the greed and fear caused by ignorance. If schools taught people about money, they would be more money and lower prices. But schools focus only on teaching people to work for money, not how to harness money's power.
So, the answer?
Use that stuff between our ears. Learn to use emotions to think, not think with emotions. You will see things that other people never see. Most people never see these opportunities because they're looking for money and security, so that's all they get.
Don't let money control you. But learn to make money work for you.
That's the first lesson:
The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich don't, instead they have money work for them.
And that was a summary of 44 sheets of "Rich Dad Poor Dad" What the rich teach their kids about money that the poor and middle class do not!
