A person may be highly educated mentally, but if they are not educated
emotionally, their fear will often stop their body from doing what it must
do. That is why so many “A” students get stuck in “analysis paralysis,”
studying every little detail, but failing to do anything.
This “analysis paralysis” is caused by our educational system punishing
students for making mistakes. If you think about it, “A” students are “A”
students simply because they made the fewest mistakes.
The problem with
that emotional psychosis is that, in the real world, people who take action
are the ones who make the most mistakes and learn from them to win in the
game of life.
Just look at Presidents Clinton and Bush. Clinton could not admit he
had sex and Bush could not recall any mistakes he made during his
presidency. Making mistakes is human, but
lying about your mistakes is
criminal, a criminal act known as perjury.
When criticized for making 1,014 mistakes before creating the electric
light bulb, Thomas Edison said, “I did not fail 1,014 times. I successfully
found out what did not work 1,014 times.”
In other words, the reason so many people fail to achieve success is
because they fail to fail enough times.
Looking at the diagram again,
one of the reasons so many people cling to job security is because they lack
emotional education. They let fear stop them.
One of the best things about military school
and the Marine Corps is
that these organizations spend a lot of time developing young men and
women spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Although it was a
tough education, it was a complete education,
preparing us to do a nasty
job.
The reason I created the
CASHFLOW game is because the game
educates the whole person. The game is a better teaching tool than reading
or lecture, simply because the game involves the body, mind, emotions, and
spirit of the player.
The game is designed for players to make as many mistakes as possible
with play money, and then learn from those mistakes. To me, this is a more
humane way to learn about money.
