Food of Thought to Share

It is very interesting to share about human characteristics qouted from Cashflow Quadrant written by Robert T. Kiyosaki.

In short, it is about three words of :-

BE - DO - HAVE

The targets/goals are the 'have' part of these three words. Goals such as to have a nice body, or to have the perfect relationship or to have millions of dollars. 'Be and do' is about thinking and action. To further explained these words, he gave us the followed examples:-

(a) The goal of perfect body- What most people do when they want a perfect body is go on a diet, and then go to the gym. This lasts for a few weeks and then most are back to the old diet of French Fries and pizza, and instead of going to the gym, they watch baseball on TV. This is an example of ' doing' instead of 'being'

It's not the diet that counts; it's who you have to be to follow the diet that counts. Yet, every millions of people look for the perfect diet to follow in order to become thin. They focus on what they have to do, rather than who they have to be. A diet will not help if your thoughts do not change.

(b) The goal of being riched through stock investment - Many people think that buying stocks or mutual funds will make them rich. Well, simply buying stocks, mutul funds, real estate and bonds will not make you rich. Just doing what professional investors do does not guarantee financial success. A person who has a loser mentality will always lose no matter what stock, bond, real estate or mutual fund they buy

(c) The thing related to money - when it comes to money, many people try 'to do' what the rich do and 'to have' what the rich have. So they go out and buy a house that looks rich, a car that looks rich, and send their kids to the schools where the rich send their kids. All this does is cause these people 'to do' by working harder and 'to have' more debt, which cause them to work even harder....which is not what the truly rich do.

To conclude, we can say that a human character is about what others think about him not about what he thinks about himself.
