World Book Day. Rich Dad Poor Dad reminds me how important it is to educate myself financially. It helps me to identify my personal fear and greed. It reminds me to set realistic financial goals and to manage risks. I no longer subscribe to the outdated mantra “Go to school, go to college, get a job, play it safe.” because in reality no job is safe any more. I realised the importance of differentiating my assets and liabilities and to “mind my own business”.
