What Schools Will Never Teach You About Money By Robert T. Kiyosaki

My Job… and Your Job 
One of my heroes is Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple, Inc.
If not for Steve Jobs, I would never have written Rich Dad Poor Dad
in 1997, or be using my iPhone to talk to the world. 
Steve, a true entrepreneur and capitalist, made my life easier so that 
I could do my work of making other people’s lives easier through 
financial education.
Rather than use your unfair advantage to cheat and deceive the 
uneducated, use your financial education to teach, enlighten, and set 
people free.
Rather than use your unfair advantage to make only yourself richer, 
use your unfair financial education to enrich the lives of others.
One of our biggest problems is an antiquated education system that 
hangs on to the past and cannot see the future. It’s an obsolete system 
that insists on preparing students for a world that is dead and dying.
In 2010, millions of people lost their jobs. Millions of people have 
lost their homes. Millions of people have lost their retirement savings. 
Millions of people lost because they were financially uneducated and 
relied on others to secure their financial futures.
Rather than allow this crisis to be a bad thing, use it as a motivator 
for something good. Teach yourself and teach others to think for 
themselves, rather than wait to be told what to do.
We truly are on the edge of a brave new world and a new world 
economy. This crisis is simply the end of an era. It is also the birth of a 
new era, a new economy.
The good news is that we are entering a new era of humanity, an era 
of unlimited abundance and opportunity. Advances in technology 
increase intelligence and reduce the cost of that intelligence. 
Technology decreases financial risk, reduces prices, brings wages down, 
and opens up worldwide markets. The good news is: Technology make 
it easier to be entrepreneurs.
The bad news is: Technology makes life harder for employees. That’s 
why we’re seeing rising unemployment as technology replaces workers, 
just as the automobile replaced horses.
Rather than going back to school only to focus on a higher-paying job, 
focus on looking for new ways to educate yourself. For the financially 
educated, it is a borderless world of abundance and opportunity.
