Rich Dad Poor Dad is a starting point for anyone looking to gain control of their financial future

In Conclusion
Finding one’s path is not necessarily easy. Even today, I do not 
really know if I am on my path or not. As you know, we all get lost at 
times, and it is not always easy to find our way back.
If you feel you are not in the right quadrant for you, or you are not 
on your life’s path, I encourage you to search your heart and find your 
path in life. You may know it is time to change if you are saying things 
like the following statements:
• 
“I’m working with dead people.”
• 
“I love what I do, but I wish I could make more money.”
• 
“I can’t wait for the weekend.”
• 
“I want to do my own thing.”
• 
“Is it quitting time yet?”

My sister is a Buddhist nun. Her path is to support the Dalai 
Lama, a path that pays nothing. Yet, although she earns little, it does 
not mean she has to be a poor nun. She has her own rental property 
and investments in gold and silver. Her strength of spirit and her 
financially educated mind allow her to follow her life’s path without 
taking a vow of poverty.
In many ways, it was a good thing I was labeled stupid in school. 
Although emotionally painful, that pain allowed me to find my life’s 
path as a teacher. And like my sister, the nun, just because I am a 
teacher does not mean I have to be a poor teacher.
Repeating what Thich Naht Hahn said: “The path is the goal.”
