The richest man of Babylon

I read this wonderful little finance handbook upon completing Rich Dad Poor Dad. It is amazing that such wisdom imparted from this book is written based on the lives of people who live during the anxient civilisation of Babylon. I truly enjoy reading this book and appreciate the simple yet profoundly relevant Five Laws of Gold towards a more meaningful and financially independent journey on this earth. I started the first rule; save one tenth of thy salary for thyself many years ago not knowing who actually promoted it. Unfortunately for me, I have stopped this exercice couple of years back, not because I stopped believing, the outcome has been great I'm telling you. I stopped because at my new job, I could no longer get the convenience of part of my salary deducted to "pay me first". I must start again soon. Better a little caution than a great regret. This is advice of Mathon the gold lender to Rodan on his intentions to lend his gold to his beloved sister for her to give them to her husband so that the husband can start a business and be a rich merchat one day. Man are generally naturally destructive. Is that right? I can't say. But one thing I am sure of, man would do lots, for self interest. Remember The Lone Ranger starring Johny Depp, the bad cavalry/military, shooting the red indians shrieking "For God....for our Land", when in actual fact, they (especially the lead, the common man probably do it out of loyalty), do it because of wealth expected from silver. End of the day, we are all entirely responsible for the way we live, the way we write our thoughts and the way we interpret other's ideas. Let's read more good books and choose wisely.....

Rich Dad, Poor Dad

By you definitely know who....What? I just read this? Yup, my bad :) This book should be read by me and (I humbly suggest) most if not all parents when they are still in their 30s, if not as soon as they can. From the perspective of a mother, the thought train of Mr Kiyosaki is truly something I wish I have or I've had some time ago during my youth. But then again, I suppose that's what make him the star that he is. I found wisdom shared in this book very easy to absorb and surprisingly not that difficult to follow. Most importantly, the lessons learned from his experience as shared in this book are headsmackingly relevant, then, now and likely forever... From one of my newsletter subscriptions, I read today about "the Zero Line". I am certainly no expert in wars or financial or geopolitical matters, but I do think that this info is going to be very useful for investors. I bought the packages sold via the video promo, and I truly believe that it's worth my money. I hope you would take time to search info on this potential breaking-news-which-will-decide the direction of your investment portfolio soon.
