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!
