Mr Frugal’s Take on Robert Kiyosaki

Started by yowchuan · 9 meses atrás

Oops…here goes another rant by an anti-Robert Kiyosaki blogger.

Mr Frugal Cautions on Robert Kiyosaki…
Kiyosaki’s negativity towards E or even S is simply not correct. A good education and good grades in school will give you a good paying job. ... Continue reading »

    My advice would be to never take anything as gospel. Do the research, get more than 1 opinion, and make the decision based on ur deductions. It's not full proof but at least u know you did ur best. Shit happens sometimes...

    Hey Dave, for a while there I thought you sounded like someone I knew...

    Yow Chuan: ah, a fellow Buddhist! I'm fairly new to the teachings of Buddha myself, and I'm comfortable with the fact that it's the only religion that encourages you to ask questions instead of accepting everything based on "faith".

    Re: Kiyosaki,

    1) I have friends who worked hard and graduated from Ivy Leagues (on scholarships), then had US$200K jobs 2 years after college. That's almost RM700K, *before* bonuses, which for 2006 some companies gave 15 months' bonuses. So E is not always bad. I think the truer maxim is: be good at what you do. That way you also get emotional satisfaction! (I cringe at how some Mercedes and BMW owners on the road look quite unhappy)

    2) His books are pretty vague and lightweight. Asks you to invest in real estate and stocks/options, but never gives you the full and correct details. I look at my mom (and a lot of other older folks), and I'm amazed how she already put some of Kiyosaki's "principles" into practise without even knowing who he is. So it can be said most of it is common sense?

    Well said, Aw- "Be good in whatever you do!"

    I couldn't agree more on that statement. Yes, doing a half-assed job, I sincerely and honestly believe, will get you half-way there.

    Reading books is a good way to understand what other people are thinking, but it doesn't mean that we should follow whatever they preach. Always understand the intention behind each action you take, and that itself is a good way to know whether you are on the right track or not.

    Robert Kiyosaki is emphasizing on the passive income and make the money work for you. I think his ideas are logical even though it is hard to implement.
