Well Robert T. Kiyoski’s Rich dad, poor dad is an amazing novel. But the fact that dominated the novel and the concept that particularly appeals me the most is the “lucky factor “of the boy. He got his two dads fortunately. And the most fortunate incident is the presence of his friend’s dad who became his rich dad. He gave him all the financial and leadership traits just by making him learn the ABC of his countryside business.
Well after reading the book, I felt strangely sad within me. I thought why? Because usually after reading a book I feel either satisfied with the theme or some contemporary ideas sprout up. But this feeling of grief was new. I gave myself some time to ponder and then felt betrayed that why didn’t I had such rich dad.
I started a silent debate within me that why not my parents said phrases like “Don’t look for job, try to create job”, “don’t aim just for higher grades in school, aim for higher knowledge”. The debate inside me was between RDPD reader and between the “Ms. Practical’(MP). Ms. Practical rebuttaled that these phrases were in-appropriate for a fifth or sixth grader . You should always aim for short term goals. Then only you can achieve a long term success. How come you tell a kid of KG to go to reading before learning alphabets . RDPD countered the point by saying that higher thinking can be inculcated only in early age. But at this Ms. Practical said that learning financial trait is one perception of our brain. Rich dad’s own son was not so successful? Why? Because he may not be having a lean towards this material concurso.
But you people don’t worry …I am not going to clutch you with the whole debate but yes the results…obviously Ms. Practical win the debate .She bought me out of that strange sadness. She explained me that these all novels are a work of fiction. They are in market to inspire you, motivate you but BEWARE!. The caution line is that you have to take their message in your own ways. Not copying their lifestyle or quoting their words now and then but getting the gist that stays deep within….and that makes Robert T. Kiyoski a wonderful teacher …I agree.
P.S: make friends with RICH dads, invite them now and then…and help your child…
