Workers work hard enough to not be fired, and owners pay just enough so that workers won't quit.

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.

Failure is part of the process of success.

Money is one form of power. But what is more powerful is financial education. Money comes and goes, but if you have the education about how money works, you gain power over it and can begin building wealth. The reason positive thinking alone does not work is because most people went to school and never learned how money works, so they spend their lives working for money.

Cynics criticize and winners analyze.

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.

You get rich because you do things most people will not do. Success requires sacrifice. You must be willing to make those sacrifices.
