I was wandering around my boss living room yesterday when i found this book entitled Rich Dad Poor Dad. It wasn't captivated my heart so bad but since it was raining so hard that day and i was running out of courage to stay alone at the office because of the thunder, i decided to take look at the book.
The subtitle caught my eyes... It's says Work to Learn, Don't Work for money. Then i read that chapter randomly. Since then i've decided i need to finish our reading this book.
This morning, when i arrived at my office, i found myself reading the book as a side dish entertainment. It turned out i found a piece of great conversation between a 9 year old son who wants to know how to get rich and a rich dad who wants to teach the son how to be rich. The son was employed for 3 hours everyday for 10 cents per hour (as supposed to 25 cents per hour). 1 month passed by with no conversation about the exact way of HOW TO BE RICH and he was ready to quit...

"You lied to me. I've worked for you and you have not kept your word. You haven't TAUGHT me anything".
"How do you know that i've NOT TAUGHT you anything?" asked rich dad calmly.
"Well you never talked to me. I've worked for three weeks, and you have not taught me anything," I said with a pout.
"DOES TEACHING MEAN TALKING OR A LECTURE?" rich dad asked.
"Well, yes" I replied.
"That's how they teach you in school," he said smiling. " But that is not how life teaches you, and i would say that LIFE IS THE BEST TEACHER OF ALL. MOST OF THE TIME, LIFE DOES NOT TALK TO YOU. IT JUST SORT OF PUSHES YOU AROUND. EACH PUSH IS LIFE SAYING 'WAKE UP. THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT YOU TO LEARN' ".

I'm still on my way of finishing the book, but i already feel this connection with the book that it will give me a broader view of Education (as every book has done to me..)
