Rich Dad Poor Dad
September 12, 2015
Hello hewhew ^^
When I was working at POPULAR, I always secretly flipped
through the books that customers rejected, when I was doing nothing, when
theres no customer at the counter, and more importantly when theres no manager
or supervisor around heheh. Im quite selective over books, so not all of the
books that I flipped through really caught my attention. Some of the books that
managed to impress me are ‘If I Stay’ by Gayle Forman; ‘Saving Danny’ by Cathy
Glass; and ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ by Robert T. Kiyosaki. So right now I wanna write abt ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’, abt Robert T. Kiyosaki.
What I can say about this book is, it really engaged me,
like really. Robert knows how to catch his readers’ eyes and minds with his
words. One of the quotes that I like from this book is;
My poor dad said to
me, “go to school, get good grades, and get a good company to work for.” While
my rich dad said to me, “go to school, get good grades, and buy a good company.”
I just felt like it’s a woarghhhhhh, #deep quote. Idk what
you guys think abt it but I think its somehow kinda motivational quote, yeah.
So basically Rich Dad Poor Dad is a basic for those who want
to know more about business and entrepreneurship world. I didn’t really intend
to read this kind of book when I (accidentally) flipped and skimmed through it.
But yeah just as I said earlier, I got engaged with this book bcs Robert’s
words are ‘sharp’ haha, and eventually (luckily) I gained something decent from
it. He said that going to college and get good degree and get high pay alone are not sufficient
to support our lives in current condition.
Right now im reading CASHFLOW Quadrant also by Robert T. Kiyosaki,
and im loving it.
Reading CASHFLOW Quadrant make me realise that there are 4
types of quadrant in our lives, and I am in S quadrant (that is bcs I have my
own business yet don’t have any workers). The cashflow quadrant looks like
this,
![]() |
Cashflow quadrant |
E = Employees, people who work, waiting for paycheck
S = Self-employed, people who have business, people who do
all the works from A to Z, people who don’t have workers to work for them
I = Investor, people who invest for business, or system, in
this quadrant, money works for them
B = Business (system), people who own a business and a
system, people who have workers, in this quadrant, people work for them, and
money work for them as well. They can leave their business (say) for a year and
come back later and still get money in that duration.
As you can see, E and S quadrants are at the left side,
while I and B quadrants are at the right side. For those who are in the left
side quadrants, when they got promotion, they got higher pay, they have to work
harder, thus their time would be less and less, eventhough it brings them more
and more money. But it’s the opposite of those who are in the right side
quadrant. When they got higher promotion, they don’t have to work harder, bcs
they have people working for them, and plus it brings them more and more money.
Being in right side quadrant brings you financial freedom. Thats one of the advantages of being in right side quadrant, work less, profit more.
OK so I did mention that financial freedom term so i had to explain what it is abt. From what I understand, financial freedom is when you no longer need to do
any physical working in order to gain money, bcs people are working for you,
and you have system, that’s why Robert said that only people in right side
quadrants can gain financial freedom. Financial freedom can be gained in three
stages, financial struggle to financial security financial freedom.
All books written by Robert T. Kiyosaki are highly recommended for those who are or who are not into business bcs all of his books are REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD AND YOU JUST HAVE TO READ IT. So yeah that’s all I think. Im on my way to finish this
CASHFLOW Quadrant book, and btw theres one more book in queue, The Conspiracy of The Rich. Cant wait to read it next!
