1. RICH DAD POOR DAD by Robert T. Kiyosaki



Source : Amazon.com

April 2017 marks 20 years since Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad first made waves in the Personal Finance arena.

It has since become the #1 Personal Finance book of all time... translated into dozens of languages and sold around the world.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert's story of growing up with two dads —
his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad —
and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing.

The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and
explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you.

20 Years... 20/20 Hindsight
In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic, Robert offers an update on
what we’ve seen over the past 20 years related to money, investing,
and the global economy. Sidebars throughout the book will take
readers “fast forward” — from 1997 to today —
as Robert assesses how the principles taught by his rich dad
 have stood the test of time.

In many ways, the messages of Rich Dad Poor Dad, messages that were criticized and
 challenged two decades ago, are more meaningful, relevant and important today
than they were 20 years ago.

As always, readers can expect that Robert will be candid, insightful...
and continue to rock more than a few boats in his retrospective.

Will there be a few surprises? Count on it.

Rich Dad Poor Dad...
• Explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich
• Challenges the belief that your house is an asset
• Shows parents why they can't rely on the school system to teach their kids about money
• Defines once and for all an asset and a liability
• Teaches you what to teach your kids about money for their future financial success

Keeping the Love Alive

Keeping the Love Alive: Maintaining Good Feelings in Any Kind of Relationship (Part One of Two)
by: Paul & Layne Cutright

Have you ever noticed how enthusiasm and affection between two people can dwindle as time goes on? Whether it’s a romance, friendship, or work relationship, sometimes the air goes right out of your sails, seemingly for no reason.

But usually, it’s not without cause. It's most often due to the emotional cancer of resentment. However mild or intense, resentment can erode a relationship. Because it is so subtle in the beginning, you hardly notice as it slowly destroys intimacy and trust and, finally, love.

What causes the cancer to spread? It's sacrifice, doing something for someone else that you don't really want to do, which is driven by the fear of what will happen if you don’t do it.

In general, our culture confuses sacrifice with love, teaching us the virtue of loving others more than ourselves. So we attempt to demonstrate or prove love with sacrifice, and we get upset or feel unloved if others won't sacrifice for us. Yet sacrifice is a wheel that crushes everyone who gets on it. It goes like this:

1. When you sacrifice (do something you don't really want to do for fear of what will happen if you don’t) you have …

2. An unspoken expectation (e.g., they will sacrifice for you later or regard you in a particular way or love you more) that creates hidden agendas, but, you get …

3. Disappointed because they fail to fulfill their end of the bargain (e.g., love you the way you want them to or do what you want them to) so, you become …

4. Resentful, perhaps angry (“After all I've done for you!”), which leads inevitably to …

5. Guilt (because resentment is an attack on the other and attack always boomerangs at some level), so the best way to atone for your guilt is to …

6. Sacrifice some more to prove what a good and loving person you really are. And ‘round and ‘round you go on the wheel of sacrifice.

You may be wondering if we think it's ever okay to give. Of course! Real service, or authentic giving, has no strings attached and expects nothing in return later. The reward is in the experience of the giving itself.

If you see you’ve been sacrificing, how do you get off this vicious circle? Three ways:

1. Use forgiveness to heal your guilty thoughts and feelings (the root of your impulse to sacrifice).

2. Stop sacrificing and create a new understanding in your relationships that sacrifice is toxic. Agree not to do it anymore or expect others to do it for you, which means you have the freedom to say no without losing love.

3. Make clear requests and express explicit expectations.

Can you imagine what your relationships might be like if no one sacrificed but did only what they wanted to do? The people you love and who love you would be in your life because they really chose to be there, not because they felt it was expected or it was what they were “supposed” to do.

Because sacrifice is so deeply ingrained in our culture, you may experience resistance as you consider what you’re reading here. But we encourage you to experiment. When we first fell in love, we decided we would not sacrifice for one another. Instead, we would tell the truth about what we did and did not want to do, and we would not use “emotional blackmail” to try to get the other to sacrifice for us. We would not withhold love when one of us said no, and we would not extend ourselves with an unspoken expectation of reward later. It has not always been easy, but it has been one of the most important decisions we’ve made. We credit it as one of the primary reasons we are still happily together and our love is still so vibrantly alive.

In part two of this article, you’ll see how to stop sacrificing (instead, create relationships that are resentment-free zones!), and practice the fine art of being true to yourself and the partnerships you create.
