Rich Dad, Poor Dad

The introduction sounds very exciting.


This is an easy read, Robert T. Kiyosaki simplifies every concept to the minimum.


The book deliver valuable content, and the take home message is "Wake Up, Take the Time, Train Yourself and Do It Everyday"


"Workers work hard enough to not be firedt, and owners pay just enough so that workers won't quit."


"For Winners, losing inspire them. For Losers, losing defeats them." [Inspire them to train, get better and succeed next time]


"tax lien certificates instead of CDs"


"How can I afford it?"


"My income comes from a Nevada corporation"


"I always make offers with escape clauses. 'subject to approval of business partner'. Most people do not know that my partner is my cat."


"Think Bigger First"
