Why “A” Students Work for “C” Students and Why “B” Students Work for the Government

Many people focus on buying their dream home rather than investing to provide homes for others. Many people invest for the long term in a pension plan for themselves rather than investing in assets for cash flow…assets that can be passed on to their children or charities for years and generations to come. Challenge yourself, and your children, to see another side of the coin on greed.

School is a great experience for some children. For others, school is the worst experience of their lives. Every child has a genius. Unfortunately, their genius may not be recognized by the educational system. Their genius may even be crushed.

Rich dad was a very generous man. He believed in "fair exchange." He also believed that financial education was much more valuable than money.

Rather than telling me to "Look for a job," rich dad encouraged me to think like an entrepreneur and instead "Look for opportunities."

My intelligence was increasing. My mind was opening. I was beginning to see both sides of the coin.
