THEY WANT YOU TO BE POOR

words by ROBERT KIYOSAKI

The School systems are actually teaching people to be poor The school system will never teach you about money. The school system was designed to teach you to be an employee or a Doctor, or a lawyer, a specialist.

BUT NEVER ABOUT MONEY!

They want you to be poor.

My father was the head of education P.H.D and all that stuff I go home and ask him

Why don't we learn about money in school?

And he looked at me and says because the government doesn't let us teach that subject the Government tells us what we can teach and what we can't teach.

and I thought that is strange and I said but aren't we going to school to learn about money?

He says "No" your job is to get a job.

poverty is passed on its taught in your families and the middle class is taught in families. And so the people right now Who are sitting at home who are struggling financially or are worried about money or are unhappy They may be making a lot of money but are unhappy with what they're doing it was probably taught to you, your superego was taught "Get a job work hard" or "you'll never be rich", or "the rich are evil" Whatever

"until you change your mindset

money won't help you"

And we see that with people that win the lottery people that make more money they still have the same problem because they have that poor man soul.\

"If you're poor, you'll always be poor"

That's really hard for people to understand! The money will disappear that fast!

Just like with most Pro Athletes, they make millions of Dollars and 65% Are bankrupt 5 years later Because they come from poor families.

Now you tell them that and they get very angry at you the reason they give

"it's the rich fault you guys ripped me off! The government ripped me off!"

But, unfortunately, what mister Lipton was saying it's passed down genetically the moment I pay you, you think like an employee That's the trap.

Entrepreneurs work for free. The Moment you accept the paycheck your brain goes dead as long as you're hungry you'll think, you see people say "Well, why don't you give the poor money?"

The only problem with that is it creates more poor people!

you give a man a fish you get a lot of people who want more fish.

but you should teach them to fish.

when I'm giving this knowledge out

the rich people tells me "Don't tell people what you know to keep them poor"

poor will always be amongst us because it started up here,

it's in their words and their words become flesh but when they say "I can't afford it" or "I can't do that" They go down. They become what they say I meet so many people who say, " I can't afford it! you think I'm made up of money?"

My P.H.D daddy says "what do you think I am? made up of money? I can't afford that!"

Poor people say "I can't afford it I can't do that I don't have time" because it is an escape! it's an escape! It's easy to say "I can't afford it!" or "I am too tired" or "I can't go to the gym"

When you could go to the gym, but you say "no I can't" The truth is that I'm just too lazy to go to the gym" And you play it too safe and you don't introduce new risks into your life and so you will say "I have a job secured" don't say "I can't afford it" say "how can I afford it?" ask your self how can I do that? what would it take me? or why should I do that?

"A question opens the mind.

A statement closes the mind"

So when you say "I can't afford it!" your mind shuts down and you become what you say.

when people say "money is not that important to me!"

Then if money is not that important to you. then you will say

"I don't care about money!"

The money doesn't care about you!

The word does become flesh! or "ill never be rich!" or the favorite one is "the rich are greedy!"

It's the poor that are greedy you know if you think about it because to be rich, you have to give something you have to be productive but greedy people produce nothing!

some will say "oh no it's the rich that are greedy!" and "hey when you point a finger forward, three are pointing backward".

And so as we know there's a big attitude problem against the rich today.

We all have fear! to be true, We all have a fear it's just how you deal with it!

Einstein said \

"Imagination is more important

than knowledge"\

But "knowledge Empowers imagination"

And what most people lack is real Business knowledge. Like accounting, like debt, like taxes you got to know that stuff. But they don't teach it in school to anybody.

people who are afraid of making mistakes, Like they teach in school, They don't ever grow! Because spirituality is

"There is good and there is bad

There is right and there is wrong

There are ups and there are downs"

Most people only want to be right or they only want to be positive well you can't have that!

That's not reality! Every time I failed I was like "ok good, what have I learned?"

And the average person, The reason they're poor is they haven't failed.

They play it so safe They haven't made any mistake like they were taught in school, that means they don't learn anything!

That's why the school system is actually fundamentally corrupt! it's Anti-education! And I think what most people do is they let their parents or their friends talk them out of life! We're so afraid of failing But Failing is how we succeed! Our schools punish you for making mistakes And that's why we have so many people Who are afraid of admitting they're making mistakes or are afraid of failing!
