Hey guys! Today I'm going to talk about a book that changed my way of thinking about finance, "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. The passage that caught my attention the most was when he talks about the importance of finding real teachers and how denial is the beginning of poverty.
Kiyosaki emphasizes the importance of having professors who really understand the subject and who can teach the skills needed to succeed in the world of finance.
He talks about the difference between conventional teachers, who teach us to be good employees, and real teachers, who teach us to be entrepreneurs and investors.
"Most people leave school with no idea what money is, how it's generated, how it works, how it's used, and how it's mistreated. What's worse, they think they know. Many people leave school with endless lists of "I can't" and "I don't know". My rich dad used these words to motivate his kids and me, he said the use of these words bothered him because they were the words of failures." - Robert Kiyosaki
This passage is so true! Most people grow up believing that school is all it takes to be financially successful, but that's not true. The world of finance is complex and requires adequate financial education. Also, many people are afraid of investing and use the word "no" as an excuse for not starting.
Technology has played a key role in people's access to investments. With the Internet and smartphones, it is possible to invest in stocks, funds and cryptocurrencies from anywhere in the world. However, it is important to remember that knowledge is the key to successful investing. It is not enough just to have access to investments, it is necessary to understand how they work and how to choose the best options.
Throughout the book, Kiyosaki introduces many interesting concepts about finance, investing, and entrepreneurship. He emphasizes the importance of investing in assets rather than liabilities and becoming financially independent. The book is packed with valuable lessons that can help anyone improve their personal finances and build wealth over time.
In summary, Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad" is essential reading for anyone looking to succeed in the world of finance. The passage about finding real teachers and avoiding denial is especially important. Technology has made it easier than ever to invest, but knowledge is the key to success. Don't be afraid to invest and never say "I can't". Financial education is the key to building wealth and having long-term financial success.
