Wanna ONE for your book collection:
Why we want you to be rich (Two men, One message) –
Robert T. Kiyosaki and Donald J. Trump
I am a huge
fan of Robert and writing this book with Donald is a megahit. Well, it did!! This is the first book they work together before Midas Touch. If
you like reading what these two men have to say (like me) then I recommend this
book for you. As you read this book you will see the voice of two men, from two
different backgrounds, with two different perspectives, and two different voices.
Robert with storyteller dialogue and Donald is direct to the point using few
words as possible. The tone of the writing is very conversational and I enjoy
it that way. I enjoyed reading about their life experiences and how other
people influenced them. It’s a good book to read.

This book was
publish in the year 2006 and it’s First Edition in September 2007 before the global
financial crisis in the year 2008. Its have 345 pages with five parts and 29 chapters. In this book, the authors explain
the financial problems the US will face in the future and why every-individual
need to be part of the solution rather than the problem. This book is about money,
financial education, and the effect of a lack of financial education and money
management. It's about changing oneself so that they do not become a victim of a rapidly changing world.
Money alone
cannot solve poverty. The problem with throwing money at the issue of poverty
is that money only creates more poor people and keeps people poorer longer. The
solution to worldwide poverty is financial education.
“GIVE A MAN a
fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and
you feed him for his lifetime.” — Anne
Isabella Ritchie.
As the
individual financial education increases, they will start to recognize
financial opportunities everywhere. Both men explain the problems associated
with the aging population and the lack of financial education most people
have.
“Most rich people don’t want others to
know how they got rich, much less tell people about their failures…I want
people to know because it’s how I learned so much. I want people to know that rich or poor, we all have financial problems” – Robert T. Kiyosaki
“What’s the point of having great knowledge
and keeping it to yourself?” – Donald J. Trump
They believe
many people have an ‘entitlement mentality’ where they expect other people to
take care of them whether it is the government or employers. They explain that
everybody needs to learn to take care of themselves.
“We want people to let go of the
entitlement mentality and become rich so they can solve the problem…their own
problem.” – Robert T. Kiyosaki
The best way
to solve the problem of bad financial results is to change our own thoughts and
to start thinking like rich people rather than poor and middle-class people. That
means losing the entitlement mentality.
Warren Buffet says about
diversification: “Diversification is protection against ignorance. (It) makes
very little sense if you know what you are doing.” – One of the Keys to becoming rich is to know what you are doing.
“People who are capable of thinking
for themselves will rarely be part of any herd.” Donald J. Trump
“I think; therefore I am” – the wisdom of
Descartes
Many people
have dreams. Rich people have goals. As Archbishop Ashe said “Every goal has a
process”; many people have dreams but fail to have their dreams come true
because they do not focus on the necessary process to achieve their dreams. The
book then continues in explaining the qualities successful people have and the
many avenues you can pursue to become rich.
“There
are many definitions of intelligence. One for the more practical ones I
learned from my rich dad is, ‘Intelligence is the ability to solve the problem.’” –
Robert T. Kiyosaki
“There
are no guarantees, but being ready sure beats being taken by surprise.” –
Donald J. Trump
“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The
world owes you nothing. It was here first.” – Mark Twain
They discuss influencing factors that helped them become successful and offer general advice for people in different situations. It’s a matter of leadership and the ability to solve problems. Remember little effort is the best replacement for excuses. If we all make an effort to understand what’s going on around us, to make that quantum leap to using our higher, non-complacent minds, some lucid thinking might result. Problem-solving is education at its best. Just as understanding can replace hatred, education can replace fear. Ignorance can be easier but it is often the result of fear.
“Everyone
has money problems. If you want to make yourself rich, solve problems.
Identifying a problem creates the opportunity for creating a solution.” –
Robert T. Kiyosaki
“I
have learned that what is essential can sometimes be invisible to the eye. That’s
where discernment comes in.” – Donald J. Trump
“Robert and I realize that problems
can be complex and, at times, seemingly endless but we want to encourage you to
see them as challenges that will give you a chance for great achievement.
Remember, nothing is easy. But who wants nothing? Your financial intelligence
is greater than that!” – Donald J. Trump
“The financial problems we all face
are now bigger than the U.S. government alone can handle…However, the problems
have not been solved and now are becoming global problems, beyond the borders
of our country and beyond the control of our political leaders.” – Robert T.
Kiyosaki

There are three types of
investor in the world;
people
who do not invest at all
expect their family, the company they work for or their government to take care
of them once their working days are over.
people
who invest not to lose
generally, invest in what they think safe
investments. This is the vast majority of an investor. These people have saver’s
mentality when comes to investing.
people
who invest to win are
willing to study more, want more control and invest for higher returns.
Improving
your financial education allows you to get to the place where becoming rich is
predictable. Once a person has the education and the experience and understands
leverage, control, creativity, expandability, and predictability, life will look
different. Being multidimensional and alert on all those levels can be exciting
and will produce results. Becoming very successful can also be predictable –
especially if one will take the occasional risk.
“The biggest risk we all
face is not moving forward with what we’ve learned.” – Donald J. Trump
“Faith keeps you going
with confidence and keep you humble at the same time.” – Donald J. Trump
Heredity
and the environment are two important factors that influence what we are and what
we become or what we do not become. The other factors are your responsibility
and your choice. That itself should be an empowering thought. Be friendly to
your situations, learn from them, but keep progressing forward. Keep your focus
on success and elevate your life to where it should be.
In
last part they share more detailed recommendations for investing and most
importantly, they end with a commentary about the need to develop leadership
skills. If you cannot lead yourself, you will not able to lead others. Whether
something is good investment has everything to do with how committed you are to
be good at what you do. Investing is not risky; people are risky. Robert's rich dad used to say, “There are no
such things as a bad investment, but they're sure a lot of bad investors.”
Lastly in conclusion :
There are kinds of people in the world. There are those who seek security and
those who seek freedom. Security and freedom are exactly the opposite. That is why
those with most security have the least freedom. Those people are in the maximum
security section of the prison. If you seek maximum freedom it exists in the B and
I.
