Today, I am answering next 4 questions asked at the end of the chapter 1. Q-5) Is the temptation strong to think that more money will soothe that fear? Why is that such a common reaction? Ans) Yes, I believe that this is a common thinking that more money will solve their problem. As this lesson has not been taught in schools, kids will learn it from society. And in society, this thinking is inherited and it keeps passing to next generations. A big part of the society is the middle class and the poor, and they didn't learn about how actually money works. Whatever they learnt from their ancestor, they are teaching to their successors. That's why that common reaction is everywhere. Q-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? Ans) An example, when I reacted with emotions is: When my daughter didn't complete a chore that I assigned to her, I became furious and shouted at her. Later, I realized, I shouldn't have reacted like that. I should have paused for a while. A time when I was able to observe my emotions instead and chose my thoughts was: The same incident happened again, and the anger captured me completely. But soon I started thinking, 'Is it necessary to react like that? She could complete the work now.' So, I calmed down myself. Q-7) Are the rich or the poor more susceptible to those controlling emotions of fear and greed? Why do you think that is? Ans) In my opinion, the poor are more susceptible to those controlling emotions of fear and greed. Because they have less money, and as soon as they get more money, greed engulfs them and they started buying things to look rich. The fear of losing that money also captures them. Q-8) Do you think most people realize they are stuck in the Rat Race? Why or why not? Ans) In my opinion, most people don't realize that they are stuck in the Rat Race, because they walks on the track that society have given them, and they don't want to think different from this society's track because they want to fit in society and don't dare to do something which seems odd to that so called society.

Today, I read pages 75 and 76. Here is the summary: Chapter 2 (Why Teach Financial Literacy) starts from here. On these pages, the author was telling the story of the time when he and Mike became adults, got married and had kids. Mike's father's small business grew up tremendously and he had a big empire by then. Mike took over the empire and was doing even better than his dad. He was richer than we could think. He was grooming his son as his dad had groomed the author and Mike. The author had retired at age 47. According to him, retirement doesn't mean not working. For him, the definition of "retirement" is: whether we work or not, our wealth keeps growing and staying ahead of inflation, assets become large enough to grow itself, like a tree; for a few years we have to take care of it, but after that it deep rooted itself, it gives you enjoyment without any further care. People asks the author questions like "What is your secret? How do I make millions?" Before answering these questions, the author told us a story; The Richest Businessman. In 1923, a group of the greatest leaders and richest businessmen held a meeting in Chicago. Among them were top stockbrokers, owners of fully flourished companies, enormously established banks, and other rich people. After 25 years, 9 of them ended up penniless, broke, committed suicide, or as prisoners. Continued ... Reflection: There is no doubt when the author says Rich Dad's empire is in great hands. A child who started learning precious thing at the age of 9, which some people don't learn till their lives end, he must have mastered all the skills to run an empire. I am curious to know what happened that caused 9 extraordinary financially strong people to end up miserable. Thanks.
