Money is not worth dying for. I know, because years ago, while nearly a million dollars in debt, suicide was an option. Rather than run, rich dad suggested I write down all the mistakes I made and then seek help. If I made accounting mistakes, I talked to an accountant. If there was a legal mistake, I talked to an attorney. That was my way out. That is how I got smarter.

If you are afraid of making mistakes, you won't learn anything and you won't make much money.

One of the biggest defects in life is the inability to ask for help.

As a young kid, I really wanted to be rich.

The right decisions come from the right focus. You’ll succeed if your focus is on the mission, not the money.

My father was a university professor and his thing was tenure. Any time I hear a university professor say tenure, I hear the word dinosaur. You're not supposed to be getting tenure. You're supposed to be figuring out how you can teach more students at a better price and more effectively. That's your job.

As long as you blame someone or something else - something outside you that's bigger than you are - as the source of your problems, the problems won't get solved.
