50 I CHAPTER THREE

RichDad Poor Dad. Many rich people would rather be anonymous. They
either do not want to be known and/or they do not want to share their
financial secrets. That is why I was pleasantly surprised to find Donald
Trump to be so open about his wealth and willing to share his keys to
financial success.

In her book Buffettology, Mary Buffett writes:

"F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote that the very rich are different from you
and me. He was right. But they are different in the strangest ofways,
the oddest being the code ofsilence that they demand offamily and
friends. While married to Peter (Warren Buffett's son), I was

instructed more than once not to speak to anyone outside the family
about Warren and his investment operations. Writing this book
simply would have been out ofthe question."
After her divorce from Peter, Mary Buffett broke the code ofsilence and
went on to explain in detail how Warren Buffett does it, spilling Buffett's
secrets. It is a great book and well-written. And it does explain Warren
Buffett's secrets. It's Warren Buffett's how-to book, even though he did not
authorize it. However, it ishow Warren Buffett does it. It does not mean you
or I or even Donald Trump can do it the same way. Nor we would necessarily
want to. In many waysthat will be explained later in this book, both Donald
and I can beat Warren's rates ofreturns on investment. He may be richer, but
we can get richer faster using our own methods and use less money.
You need to find the style and method that is best suited for you. While
it is important to learn from people like Warren and Donald, it is also
important to find your own formula.
I attended a church service ofReverend Vernon Ashe several years ago
in Atlanta that drove this point home. His message was that people must
work through their own processes, for value to be attributed to their goals.
And from the opposite perspective, without the process there is no value
attributed to the goal.
