I understand what you mean. But sometimes I write just to be provocative and opinions like yours are written as well. On the contrary, I have always been a paradigm breaker, but it is necessary to understand that we have countries with many differences and sometimes what can be applied in one country can be good and in another not. This is like in self help books. It would be impossible to do what was written by "rich dad poor dad" in Latin American countries, but in other countries yes. It's just an analysis for reflexion and I respect your opinion and I do not think you're negative. I do not know what country you are but being a businessman and building a successful bussiness in a country like mine. The annual interest rate on credit cards has reached 400% a year last year. It requires a lot for those of us who do not make mistakes. Greetings.

I feel identified with both opinions. And I feel the need to comment on this.

I would like to clarify, first of all that I come from Venezuela, and as it is already well known worldwide, we are going through an economic crisis unprecedented in the whole world, with an inflation rate that is already around 10.000.000%, something only seen in economies sub-Saharan countries such as Zimbabwe and Somalia.

When I read what was written by the friend @lucylin, I feel identified by the savagery of robbery and corruption in which my country is sadly plunged, and here we talk that banks are not necessarily, we are talking about a totally corrupt political and legislative system, so intense that it ended up leading to bankruptcy and debatable even to several banks. So I agree with your opinion friend @lucylin. I have been affected very seriously by this, as my family unfortunately.

And on the other hand, I see what @chbartist says about it and it makes me react, I feel alluded to, since despite being in Latin America and in the worst economy and the highest risk worldwide, I consider a book of Kiyosaki as a Father Rich Poor Father and other of his works more, have given me ideas and an essence that I still carry with me, and have contributed to maintain my spirit and even achieve a medium success in business, despite the vicissitudes. Without a doubt, not everything can be put into practice, it is true; the country situation does not allow it. But my mind does stay focused, and that already represents a success. The minds of many in my country, have had to become very creative, not only to survive, but to achieve success in business, in which this crisis makes us grow instead of shrinking.

Therefore, I think that an article like this should be seen with a lot of empathy. The reality of a country does not necessarily affect all its citizens in the same way, that's why this type of self-help books I think have served me a lot, but it has not been so for many other people. And being in a developed country, with a capitalist government and stable economy, does not imply that all citizens do well in business and economically. So I agree with both @lucylin and @chbartist.

Thanks @chbartist for these very interesting articles. As always very attentive.

A hug. Best regards!

Another excellent article @chbartist!

This one is a morals bender and a lot of people will confront that demon which says to be wealthy and rich without any moral anchor.

Then there are those which despise and hate going after wealth and riches as an objective goal in itself. They are volunteers for some good cause. They never allow the overwhelming emotional drive, enthusiasm, and energy required for success to possess them outright to achieve what they want. They feel perfectly fine being an enabler to wealth creation pursued by an entrepreneur with a capitalist business plan .

Creation of wealth and riches will always be the direct result of a successful endeavor of some kind, probably the solution to some great menace or health threat, merits the outpouring of wealth upon such noble contributors to life.

One thing we can be sure of is the haves and have not's - haves try really hard to be successful, the have not's try really hard to enable the haves by their dependence upon their success.

What a beautiful world we live in!
