Can You Teach Me To Become Rich?

Yesterday, I briefly described some different ways to become rich. Today, I'll described a little more in detail about some of the ways. First a short real life story from Rich Dad Robert Kiyosaki on what his teacher told him at school one day.

"Can you teach me to be rich?" I asked my teacher.

"No" my biology teacher replied. "My job is to help you graduate so you can find a good job."

"But what if I don't want a job? What if I want to be rich? I asked.

"Why do you want to be rich?" asked my teacher.

"Because I want to be free. I want to have the money and time to do what I want to do. I don't want to be an employee for most of my life. I don't want my life's dreams to be dictated by the size of my paycheck."

"That's nonsense. You're dreaming about the life of the idle rich and you can't be rich if you don't have good grades and a high paying job," said the teacher. "Now get back to dissecting your frog," the teacher said. I was talking to my rich dad later that day after school, and was telling him this story about my teacher. I told rich dad, "I would dissect a thousand frogs if it would make me rich."

What's the lesson of Roberts story? The old traditional school systems did not in the past, and most likely in the future, are not going to teach you to be rich. If you want to be rich, you're going to need to get it on our own or the help of a mentor or Rich Dad type of person just as Robert learned from his Rich Dad.

The new education for this new century in this new information age is information. The industrial age is all over. Start thinking about the future, and where you want your future to be in it? "A person with a dream cannot be denied." Louie Carillio. You can do it. You need the new education now if you want to be rich. Rich Dad Robert Kiyosaki has that education and knowledge that you need, if you want to be rich. Enjoy new school kids . . . its a great life!

Some way to become rich explained in more detail.

1. You can become rich by marrying someone for his or her money.
This is a very popular way of becoming rich. Yet, rich dad would say, "You know what kind of person marries for money."

2. You can become rich by being a crook.
Rich dad said, "The trouble with being a crook is that you have to associate with other crooks. Much of business is based on trust. How can you have much trust when your partners are crooks?" He also said, "If you are honest and make an honest mistake in business, most people understand and give you a second chance. In addition, if you learn from your honest mistakes, you will grow into a better business person. But if you are a crook and you make a mistake, then you either go to jail or your partners will punish you in their own efficient ways."

Knowledge > Goals > Plan > Action > Success

Good day, and good new future schooling for you!
