control your life." Today, whenever I meet someone who is unhappy,
unhealthy and unwealthy, I know it is simply because he or she has lost
control ofhis or her mind, the greatest tool given to us by God.
Although Donald and I have money today, we have both experienced
financiallosses. Ifwe had used our minds to blame others or to make excuses,
we would both be poor today.
We Are All Born Rich
So our message to you is the same message we received from our rich
dads: "We are all born rich. We all have been given the most powerful lever
on earth, our minds ... so use your mind for leverage to make you rich rather
than to make excuses."
InSummary
The difference between cavemen and apes is leverage. The difference
between the rich, poor and middle classisleverage.The difference between
savers and investors is leverage. The difference between the E and S
quadrants and the B and I quadrants is leverage. A well-trained and
disciplined investor can gain much higher returns with much less risk and
less money, but it takes leverage ... and leverage requires you to educate
yourself and to use your mind wisely.
Donald's View
What is the difference between a saver and investor? Years ago,
a friend of mine who is Jewish told me the answer to this question:
"Moses invests, Jesus saves." I don't know if that will be of any help
to us, but it could be an answer to think about on many levels.
I see investors as being active savers. Investing is a way to make
money, and it may not happen overnight, but saving definnely takes
time to payoff. The returns are much higher if you invest your money
rather than save it.
