.... my installation is really pushing the limits of my patience... I feel like throwing my com out of the window now... haha... k lar... Can use it to train my patience.

anyway wanna share something that I read just yesterday. Its from the book Rich dad's : The business school. Just happen to browse through a few pages of the book when it was left on the table.

Shall share some excerpts from the book first.

The author is 15 years old and having biology lessons.
"I'm bored in school. I don't see any relevance between what we are required to study in school and the real world. I just want to learn to be rich. So how is a dead frog going to help me buy a new car? If the teacher would tell me how a dead frog can make me rich. I would disect thousands of them"

This is him on the topic of building network relations.
" As a young boy in high school. I began choosing my friends and teachers carefully because your family, friends and teachers are very very important element of your network."


The first thing that came to my mind when I read this book wasn't how great this person is at making money. Or be amazed by what a prodigy he is to have such strong financial mindset at a young age. My first impression of him is how shallow this person is.

Yes, money is very important, but there are other things that are as important. Studying subjects like sciences are not a waste of time. Human lives are not just about acquiring money. These subjects help us understand the world that we live in.

Imagine a person without any knowledge of anything else other than making money. How would he live his life? He wakes up every morning. Without any idea how the sun rises, drive to work without knowing a single thing about the machine he sits on. His mind just filled with thoughts about how to acquire more money.

His friends are all chosen based on their advantage to him in acquiring money. He chooses friends with a motive of using them to gain wealth.

Its scary isn't it?

I'm not saying that the author is totally wrong. but just feels that the way he does things is cold and unfeeling.

There are still some pointers that I agree with him. The school does teaches us quite a lot of unnecessary stuffs. I think the knowledge that we gain up till our secondary school is quite enough to help us appreciate the world. Anything more than that is going into the specialist field which we don't need. By the end of secondary school education. We should all be out working and gaining the relevant and up to date information in our specialist field. Rather than still studying so many things at one time. People like me don't have the courage to break out of this system. Thats why I'm still stuck at studying and have not gain any experience on my specialisation.

Just like what the book says, the education system is training us to be employess rather than the employer. We study so hard to earn a certificate and use it to beg for a job. People are encourage to study hard to make themselves more employable. But that is not the best way to get rich. The best way is to employ and not be employed.

This is something that I gained from the book lar. It helps to firm my stand to have my own business and not work all my life. But then I will still continue to study and use the qualifications as a safety net lar. I do not have the privilage to go all out and take a risk because there are things that I need to look after too.

So yar... thats all for now lar. Hope you gained something from this sharing session :) Bye~
