INTRODUCTION

Books play an illustrative role in every human's life by initiating them to a world of ingenuity, procuring knowledge of the external world, enhancing their study, writing and speaking abilities as well as improving recollection and understanding. The significance of books in our life cannot be thwarted for them, not only aid in expanding our boundaries but also act as portals for attaching us to the world around us. They benefit as survival gears, they influence us and leave an effect on us.

This list of my favourite books can be very long but for the sake of this contest, here are a few in no order;

This and many more.

I am immensely blessed by these books from childhood to date.

For this Post, I would love to write about the book Rich Dad Poor Dad.

RICH DAD POOR DAD

You can get the soft copy for free by clicking Here

This book champions the significance of financial literacy (financial education), It teaches about financial freedom and the establishment of wealth via investing in assets, property investing, launching and owning businesses, as well as boosting one's financial understanding.

There are a lot of teachings in this book that benefitted me a lot as a young man growing up. This book taught me numerous lessons I do love to share.

The book teaches that while several people manage flawlessly well banking on their reasoning to navigate their spending manners, it is still very useful to broaden our knowledge and prepare an allowance, an emergency reserve, or guarantee you have a financial contingency plan in the occasion of something unexpected.

According to the book, the rich make their money work for them. This is one of the fundamental beliefs expressed in the book. That most of us work to survive.
This is the terrible cycle vastly all middle and working-class people fall into.

The book teaches that money isn't your greatest asset to own and that if people are equipped to be creative, have an open mind, and learn, they will bend to get richer.

And that if any person believes capital solves all their problems, they will most certainly have problematises their whole lives. Thus the quote

"Intelligence solves problems and produces money, and money without financial intelligence is quickly lost," ~Robert Kiyosaki.

There are more than enough great phrases in this book to share but I'm sure time will be against me but I will try my best to share a few with everyone here.

One of my favourite quotes is found on page 32.

“Emotions are what make
us human. The word ‘emotion’ stands for ‘energy in motion.’ Be truthful about your emotions and use your mind and emotions in your favour, not against yourself.”

Right here, he is saying that we humans are emotion-driven and that we should learn to control our emotions as they can affect us positively and negatively.

And on page 131

Everyone wants to make Heaven, but no one wants to die.

Here he's trying to explain that we all want to make money and be rich but at the same time, we are all afraid to commit to the investment. That we all want to be rich but are afraid to lose money.

Actually what lead me to read this particular book was boredom. Roundabout 2020 with the lockdown in full force, I became bored and needed to do something to escape the boredom. I am someone who loves to read so I was on PDFdrive.com looking for something interesting to read, that was when I came across the book Rich Dad and Poor Dad. Having financial issues myself I said to myself to give it a try and that was how I become vested in it. To this very day, am still trying to get my hands on the hard copy.
