Robert Kiyosaki: Rich Dad, Poor Dad

January 1, 2008 | By rogerloh In Robert Kiyosaki |

As I re-read Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad for the third time, I began to realize a ton of GEMS in there!

Before I continue …

… Today is the first day of 2008. I want to thank you for visiting my blog and I wish you and your family a BLESSED and ABUNDANT New Year ahead!

Back to Rich Dad, Poor Dad, a book released about a decade ago that needs no introduction and had been on the New York Times Bestseller List for many years.

Then, why talk about this book after so long?

Here are some of my reasons:

  • I believe that this book had changed more lives than most other books -

    I’ve personally heard testimonials that someone become a successful businessman just by reading this book; someone’s life changed from an employee to become an investor; and countless many others.

  • As of now, Robert is my personal FAVORITE No. 1 author -

    Robert has the passion for helping others to become financially free as well as the courage to write books on the importance of financial literacy that many of us are lacking. I am a living example who had made countless mistakes and just hope that many young people, especially those in their 20’s or 30’s will not - simply by picking up a copy of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and reading it…. seriously!

  • This morning, as I re-read Rich Dad, Poor Dad for the third time, these are the first words that I read in 2008:

    “PAY YOURSELF FIRST: The power of self-discipline. If you cannot get control of yourself, do not try to get rich.”

    I love those hard-hitting words! Never did I realize to this extent that SUCCESS is just a matter of “Simple Acts of  DAILY DISCIPLINE … in doing the RIGHT things!”

If you have any views, I greatly appreciate it if you can leave your comments here.

      Roger,
      I enjoyed reading your review of of Robert Kiyosaki’s work. You made many good points. I have also attended most of Harv Eker’s programs. Now I make a living by writing and teaching others to do the same. Writing is my simple act of daily discipline.

      Connie,

      Thanks for your refreshing view. I visited your blog briefly (will explore more later) and liked your clean cut style!

      Yes, DAILY DISCIPLINE is so important that many people missed and wonder why they’re not getting the results they want.

      My daily discipline is blogging, articles, emails, coaching, meeting and training … plus of course enjoying my daily coffee :-)
