Rich Dad & Poor Dad--about American Men and Western culture--A good book worth of thinking.

"Life pushes us around." as his rich dad said. ....pg.173

We all are in this position, life pushes us around...

Mr. Kiyosaki said in his book, which also reveal what is believed in American education and Western traditional culture what is also one of the essential element I am searching in Western culture. I have never thought Japanese American as Asian Japanese, I see anyone whom is educated in the United States is American. What American think represents the result of American education and the product of this society.

The differences between each person based on their education and the environment they grew up. Therefore, what Mr. Kiyosaki wrote in his book is relevant to American education and it is also representing of Western culture.

"The world pushes people around not because other people are bullies, but because the individual lacks internal control and discipline. People who lack internal fortitude often become victims of those who have self-discipline"

"Manage of cash flow, people, personal time...The three matter in the way you live your life as an individual, or as part of a family, a business, a charitable organization, a city, or a nation."

Whoever is weak, whoever will has high chance to became a victim of those who have self-discipline. So does to a Nation. This belief led to WWI and WWII in history.

Many American heroes in finance field have outreached their investment to many poor countries in the world to cause poor countries central bank be bankrupt. Because they are highly self-disciplined and well trained with the rule of game and know how to play it.

What is the definition of Hero?

The one of the product of this country and Western culture is taking advantage of weak, so they will work as a team to place immigrant family to sit on luggage seat on an airplane; in some cases, they are internally and subconsciously trained to form the desire as kicking a beggar on the street if they are bored and has nothing to do in mind. All of these mind working together as a team, imaging the power of this.
