What Was Robert Saying
Now it’s time to reflect. Ask yourself, “What is Robert saying in this quote?” And, “Why does he say that?” In this section you do not need to agree or disagree with Robert. The goal is to understand what Robert is saying.
Remember, this curriculum is designed to be cooperative and supportive. Two minds are better than one. If you do not understand what Robert is saying, do not shy away from it. Ask for help in understanding. Take the time discuss each quote until you understand it:
“The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.”
“Life pushes all of us around. Some people give up and others fight. A few learn the lesson and move on. They welcome life pushing them around.”
“Stop blaming me and thinking I’m the problem. If you think I’m the problem, then you have to change me. If you realize that you’re the problem, then you can change yourself, learn something, and grow wiser.”
“When it comes to money, most people want to play it safe and feel secure. So passion does not direct them. Fear does.”
“Most people, given more money, only get into more debt.”
“It’s fear that keeps most people working at a job: the fear of not paying their bills, the fear of being fired, the fear of not having enough money, and the fear of starting over. That’s the price of studying to learn a profession or trade, and then working for money. Most people become a slave to money—and then get angry at their boss.”
“Most people do not know that it’s their emotions that are doing the thinking.”
“A job is really a short-term solution to a long-term problem.”
“It’s just like the picture of a donkey dragging a cart with its owner dangling a carrot just in front of its nose. The donkey’s owner may be going where he wants to, but the donkey is chasing an illusion. Tomorrow there will only be another carrot for the donkey.”
Additional Questions
Now it’s time to take the stories in this chapter along with the understanding of what Robert was saying and apply them to you and your life. Ask yourself the questions below and discuss them with your study partner. Be honest with yourself and your partner. If you do not like some of the answers you are giving, ask yourself if you are willing to change and accept the challenge to change your thoughts and mindset:
1. How common is the approach to money taken by Robert’s poor dad?
2. Robert’s rich dad said true learning takes energy, passion, and a burning desire. What are examples of when this has proven true in your life? What’s one lesson you never forgot, and why?
3. Would the pay rate of 10 cents an hour—and then nothing an hour—have stirred in you the same reaction as Robert?
4. Is it fear that drives most people to work? Are there other factors at play?
5. Is the temptation strong to think that more money will soothe that fear? Why is that such a common reaction?
6. What’s an example from your life when you reacted with your emotions? What’s a time when you were able to observe your emotions instead and choose your thoughts?
7. Are the rich or the poor more susceptible to those controlling emotions of fear and greed? Why do you think that is?
8. Do you think most people realize they are stuck in the Rat Race? Why or why not?
