NO.1 Why are you poor?
The most important thing to becoming rich for you is to have a mindset to want to become rich.The reason I say that is this, is because I wanted to become rich when I played Monopoly, that was, I was nine years old.The greatest formula for wealth is found on that board game.When I was nine years old my poor dad, the schoolteacher says, “Ah put that game away.Study, study, study! You\'re wasting your time playing Monopoly.”
And my rich dad said the formula, “You must open your mind and see the formula right on Monopoly.” He said, “It\'s right in front of you.” And I went, “What\'s the formula?” And finally I learned the formula is, four green houses, red hotel, four green houses, red hotel.Today I\'m a rich man because all I ever did since the time I was 24 years old was buy four green houses, sell them all, buy a red hotel, four green houses, red hotel.It is not, that you have to go to school to become rich.Just play Monopoly; four green houses, red hotel.That\'s it.
You must look at how people before you have become rich.Do not talk to poor people.Poor people will tell you, “Oh it\'s too risky.Don’t do that.Don\'t take risk.Save your money.Play it safe.” That is a poor person\'s mindset.You must have an open mindset, open.And if you have an open mindset you will learn from everything.If you have a closed mindset you will learn from nothing.So I think that is the most important thing.
The difference between money and wealth
No, I don\'t have a salary.I only had a job four years in my life.I don’t want a salary.The middle cla and poor, what they want is high income.They think they want money.But they have no wealth because they have no aets.You must know the difference between money and wealth but they\'re not the same same.Money will never make you rich.This makes you rich.I have large companies.I have lots of stocks.I trade options.I have real estate, that\'s what makes me rich.So the money just comes in whether I work or not.
Bill Gates makes $500,000 a year.That\'s all.I make more than him.That\'s all he makes but he\'s worth 40 billion.I\'m trying to tell you there is a very big difference between income, money and wealth.So I have spent my life buying aets, businees, stocks, real estate, that’s what makes you rich, not a job.The reason the rich in America get richer is they pa this on to their kids.My poor dad always said, “High paying job, high paying job, high paying job.” And my rich dad said, “Aets, aets, aets.” That\'s the difference.
NO.2 The biggest secret of succe
Once there was a young man who came to ask Socrates how to learn philosophy.Socrates said nothing but took him along to a river.He suddenly pushed him into the river forcibly.At first the young man thought Socrates was kidding so he didn\'t take it to heart.But Socrates also jumped into the river and pulled his head into water desperately.At this time the young man was really scared, his instinct of living made him use all his strength lifting Socrates and climbed to the bank.
The young man asked Socrates with puzzle why he did that, Socrates replied:\"I just want to tell you whatever you do, do it with a determination to be unexpectedly rescued from a desperate situation.Only like that can you make a genuine achievement.\"
NO.3 The prime condition great secrets of succe
It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions.Many of the leading businemen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career.They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their busine lives sweeping out the office.I notice we have janitors and janitrees now in offices, and our young men unfortunately mi that salutary branch of busine education.But if by chance the profeional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom.The other day a fond fashionable mother in Michigan asked a young man whether he had ever seen a lady sweep in a room so grandly as her Priscilla.He said no, he never had ,and the mother was gratified beyond measure, but then said he ,after a pause, “What I should like to see her do is sweep out a room” It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if neceary.I was one of those sweepers myself.
Auming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is “aim high”.I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm.Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive.Say to yourself ，“My place is at the top.” Be king in your dreams.
And here is the prime condition of succe, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the busine in which you are engaged.Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it.
The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they
have scattered their brains also.They have investments in this, or that, or the other, here there, and everywhere.“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” is all wrong.I tell you to “put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.” Look round you and take notice, men who do that not often fail.It is easy to watch and carry the one basket.It is trying to carry too many baskets，which break most eggs in this country.He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip him up.One fault of the American busineman is lack of concentration.
To summarize what I have said: aim for the highest; never enter a bar room; do not touch liquor, or if at all only at meals; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the firm’s interest yours; break orders always to save owners; concentrate; put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket; expenditure always within revenue; lastly, be not impatient, for as Emerson says, “no one can cheat you out of ultimate succe but yourselves.”
