REFLECTION PAPER
(“Rich Dad Poor Dad” Lesson 1: The Rich Don’t Work for Money)

Rich Dad Poor Dad lesson 1 really focuses on how money works on a rich person by having controlling their fear and desire. It is true that we need to control our fear and desire. If we have fear we are afraid and then after that we have the desire to have or to move on it. I usually encounter this kind of situation for example when I buy clothes, I usually have fear to bought it because I am afraid to lose money on the end but still I have the desire to buy that clothes because it is my need. But if we usually do this that fear and desire are really controlling us we should change, because we will end up nothing and afraid for something that we either want or not. “Money is not taught in schools. Schools focus on scholastic and professional skills, but not on financial skills.” In all some of the quote this thing really strikes me most, because of the thing that we usually the one can figure it out to teach us about money rather in school. It is more in skills that is developing inside a school so that we can have a better job and to have a higher income.

In school we usually study hard so that we can find a good company to work for so that we have income instead we study hard so that we can find a good company to buy. It is true that we should study more in handling money or on how money works so that on the end we know how can we buy a good company in a successful way.

Taking risk are really part of understanding money, simply because we usually give up something in order to have a bigger opportunity or to have a better chance in life. In this lesson the rich dad really teach the two children to take risk and to manage risk in order to understand the meaning of revolving their self in money. Managing risk sometimes frustrates us in a way that we ended up nothing, but we should think what the instances if we take it and manage

    The short story “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara is about a group of young poor children as they venture downtown to a toy store. They gaze upon all the toys in wonderment, but mostly they are shocked by the price of the toys. They feel out of place in such an upscale establishment and do not know how to act.

There are people who are so well off they can afford toys that could feed a family for months, and other people like themselves that barely have enough money to get by. The central idea of the story is the examination of wealth and poverty in America.…

    The readings made me think about how my parents raised me and my three other siblings. As a last child in my family, I was more disadvantaged than my older siblings in getting new things. Before having to request what I wanted, my sister’s and brother’s used stuffs were inherited to me. By the time I was 18 years old, it was natural for me to accept the fact that I am in charge of my own expenses and to not depend on my parent’s wallet. It is true, that many parents nowadays are trying to make up for their busy schedule with money and tangible gifts for their children. However, I agree with the writer that they should also think about what their children may be missing out when they easily can get all that they want from their parents. Children have to learn more valuable lesson of being hungry for self development that can lead to a better success.…

School does not only teach subjects like English, Math, History, or Science, but it also lets us meet new people and build good character. Stay in school, because it will help you meet new people, build good character, and will also get you to a job that you will love. A lot of jobs in today’s society require you to talk to and meet new people. For example, if you are a teacher, you need to learn how to talk clearly to a classroom full of students. If you dropout or don't go to school at all, you'll go nowhere, and end up in a job with minimum wage like McDonald's or Tim Horton's. Nowadays, you need education just for having a job in McDonald's…

    She believed parental behavior and culture repertoires plays a role in children educational outcome. She states middle class parents view it as their duty to aid in their children's development of their potential and skills. However, the working class and poor believes in natural growth; love, food, clothes, and support is what helps children to grow and thrive. Families in the higher class give their children tools that will help them succeed. Such as giving them books at an early age, helps them to learn how to read early on. Because children are in the higher class, they expect their children to develop quicker and have a higher education. Poor class may undervalue education and encourage their kids to go into the workforce instead of…

Kiyosaki focuses on the different life decisions that determine or contribute to a person’s future in hopes that people will realize that they could turn their life around if they really were determined to do so. In chapter one, Mike and Robert Kiyosaki feel like outcasts `because they go to an elementary school full of rich students where they seem to be the only ones who are poor and it hurt them but “that hurt was good, because it inspired us to keep thinking of a way to make money” (Kiyosaki 10).

    The objective of the book is to change the reader’s psychological approach to money, success, and happiness. Like there is no such thing as a really rich victim. Rich people focus on opportunities, poor people focus on obstacles. Rich people admire other rich and successful people, poor people resent rich a successful people. Rich people are good receivers, while poor people are not. Rich people are always learning and growing, while poor people think they already know. Rich people manage their money, poor people don’t. Harv explains that the surest way to stay poor is to continue acting like the poor, by complaining, not looking for opportunities, resenting the rich, not being a good receive, not continuously learning and not managing your money. Harv has great advice and these tips are essential to understand and change your thinking about money. I find the attitude differences illuminating. Yes, it makes a big difference to focus on the positive and to spend time with positive people (not pollyana or spoiled – positive). Skills, knowledge, and persistence count too you have to be able to execute, unless you have the incredible good luck to have both a huge amount of money and a trustworthy staff. As long as you keep operating with a negative, inadequate, limited financial Self-Image, you are destined to fail no matter how smart you think you are or you are, no matter what type of business you choose, no matter how hard and how long you work at your business or job, The poor are poor because of their poor self-image. In the inside of their heads, they see themselves limited, having great difficulty making money, they believe it is real hard to make money, it takes a long time, it requires lots of sacrifices, they already imagine themselves having future problems and limitations. That is what they believe. And that is exactly what they get. The rich are rich because of their rich self-image. In the…
