Rich Dad Poor Dad
When I began to
read this book I was hooked. Why was I hooked? It pointed out the obvious, the truth the
reality of money and how cash flow works!
Rich Dad Poor Dad a
book written by Robert Toru Kiyosaki ,advocates financial independence and
building wealth through investing, real estate investing, starting and owning
businesses, as well as increasing one's financial intelligence. This book touches up on various points such
as; the rich don’t work for money, Financial Literacy, minimizing taxes and
work to learn don’t work for money etc.
All of these skills set contribute to the success of an individual’s
life. I have read this book three times
and still read chapters here and there to this day. But there are two things that have engraved
in me after reading in which he said, “Skills
make you rich, not theories” & “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.” I constantly remind myself that in order to achieve a goal we must build are way up which is what I took away from those two quotes. This leads to success.

Cosby Said It
In order to SUCCEED, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of FAILURE.
-Bill Cosby
What is one thing we all fear in life, the UNKNOWN. Why do we fear the unknown because we are afraid of Failure. When we are afraid of failure we are afraid to Speak, Expand, Explore, Dream & Learn! We Limit ourselves, and we eventually get into our own Comfort Zone. But COMFORT KILLS! You get into the same everyday cycle & routine, because its what you know, you know what to expect. You complain every single day but you still do not do something about it. People don't like change...Why? Because they are afraid of Failure. It is good to know what to expect in life, especially when you are comfortable. But as individuals we learn from our mistakes and experiences we go through in life therefore why should we fear? There should be no excuses, nor should you ever doubt yourself! Anything is possible. Never say you cant or feel as if you do not deserve it. That is all Mental. A Positive state of mind results in Positive outcomes in life! Negativity is for the Weak and I know you are not! Right?
In In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

What Is Success?
What is Success I ask to you all?
I am almost Positive I will get similar answers such as.. Success is going to school, graduating, getting a good job and making a lot of money,....etc... But is that REALLY what success is? Is there more than one way to be successful? How Do I become successful? Do I have to attend a four year college and graduate with straight A's? Do I have to work on Wall Street or wear nice fancy suites and attend corporate meetings? If you believe success is simply making/having a lot of money, you may be setting yourself up for failure. I am often amazed at how many people define success as making or having a lot of money. Although I find this very interesting, because many of the people who are in this state of mind are generally agitated, stressed and overall pretty miserable. Not all individuals come from the same backgrounds which means we do not all have the same opportunity . This changes how someone can be successful. The way I see it, everyone's definition of success can be mapped on a simple grid. One side being the amount of money that you have and the other being the amount of happiness in your life. Agree?
Success is knowledge & understanding. Success is achieving a goal. Success is starting from scratch.
You have to WANT it.
