Q: Sure.
A: Have you ever watched the Special Olympics, an event for physically-challenged children, and been inspired—spiritually touched—when they compete with all their hearts, undaunted and in spite of their disabilities and challenges?
Q: I have.
A: Those are examples of “genie-in-us,” when the magician in us inspires others. We feel inspired when the spirit in someone else touches the spirit in us.
That is what genius is. When someone inspires us, we’re reminded of the “genie-in-us.”
Q: So why don’t most people find their genius?
A: Because being a genius is not easy. For example, someone could be the next Tiger Woods, but if that person does not dedicate their life to developing their genius, their talents, their genie will never show its magic.
More Questions than Answers
For me, reading Grunch only raised more questions. And for the first time in my life, I wanted to be a student again. I wanted to go back to the fourth grade and find the answers to the flurry of questions I kept asking my teacher about money. I was hungry to learn, and I wanted answers to my questions: “Why is money not a subject taught in school?” and “What makes rich people rich?”
As I finished reading Grunch and went on to read Fuller’s other books on education, I realized my questions in the fourth grade were caused by my natural curiosity. Money and why the rich are rich were my subjects of study. And, in my opinion, it’s not by accident that the subject of money had been “sanitized” from academic study.
In 1983, the student in me came alive again and I did exactly as Fuller described. The student in me got back to my studies.
Over the years, my own studies verified Fuller’s findings that the monetary system was designed to steal our wealth, making the rich richer, but not making you and I rich. This enslavement of others and theft of another’s wealth has been going on ever since the first humans walked the earth. Fuller believed that intense greed and desire to enslave fellow humans was humanity’s evolutionary test, a test to see if we could use our hearts and minds to create heaven on earth or if we would turn earth into a living hell and environmental wasteland.
In Grunch of Giants, Fuller described how the rich and powerful used money, banks, government, politicians, military leaders, and the educational system to implement their plans. Simply said, money is designed to keep people slaves to money and slaves to those who control the monetary system.
Ironically, and although Bucky Fuller and my rich dad would be polar opposites on the subject of money, they both would have agreed on the concept of money enslaving people. And their polarity supports and validates the generalized principle of unity is plural, both men disagreeing on substance, but agreeing in principle.
The Power of Knowledge
Soon after I appeared on Oprah, a mutual fund company offered me $4 million to endorse their mutual fund. While I like money as much as the next guy, accepting their money would have been selling out to GRUNCH. One of the great things about financial education is it gives people the power to choose… and to never need to sell their soul for money.
What Can You Do?
You and I both knew this was coming…
Q: So what can I do?
A: The answer is there are many things you can do. The world is filled with problems. A better question might be: What problem do you want to solve? What problem do you think god gave you unique gifts to solve? You can do it by yourself or you can join a group or an organization in solving the problem that causes you concern.
When you look at the world from the point of view of problems to solve, you will see that there is a lot to do and a lot you can do.
A more important question is: Are you willing to work on solving the problem? Or are you willing to work only if someone will pay you money?
In the next chapter, you will learn what I learned while looking for the answer of how our wealth is stolen via our money system and why there is no financial education in our schools.
By creating the CASHFLOW board game and writing Rich Dad Poor Dad, our wealth, income, and recognition went up exponentially. I mention this for those of you who are wondering when I will get around to what you can do for your second chance in life.
For those of you considering a second chance with your money and your life, you may want to ask yourself:
“How can I serve more people?”
rather than:
“How can I make more money?”
If you ask yourself how you can serve more people—rather than simply make more money—you are following one of the Generalized Principles of god.
