My thought on "Rich dad Poor dad"

           To know little about everything I started reading books. Then it become habit of reading many books in a stretch and left it out. After gone through the books of Chetan Bhagat, Ravinder singh, Preeti Sheony, Reshmi Bensol. I felt there was no other good books available from Indian authors. Its little bit heavy for me to take foreign author books because of their hifi writings and  to match up the standards of English literature. Even though I gone through "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. Still I was not that much passionate towards foreign authors.  

       

"Connect the Dots" by Reshmi Bensol is the first non fictional book that too I got fed up and skipped half way.  I then took up "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" subtitled with"What the Rich Teach Their Children About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Don't" by Robert T. Kiyosaki.  First time went on to read a book related to money management , thanks to my spouse Rekha who is already going through book "Guide to investing" by the same author.

Despite the book is non-fictional one, the author narrated everything through a story. It starts with advice from his real father(Poor Dad) and ideas from his friend father(Rich Dad) and goes on about his success story on how to deal with the money.

One famous quote from that book "“Workers work hard enough to not be fired, and owners pay just enough so that workers won't quit.” is a realistic one. Robert explains about the traps which we can easily got into like "Buying a home" or "Buying a costly cars"which he termed it as dead asset, as we have to spend more it on maintaining those, which he termed it as "Rat Race". He recommends in diversifying our investment mainly in Real estate, share markets etc., 

Came from a middle class family, this book was an eye opener one, learnt much about money management and smart investment. I could not say that you will become rich by  reading this book but your thought on money will  definitely change.
