Posted by I read this line “Poor People with a Lot of money” in one of the books of Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad.
It got me thinking, What is the real meaning behind this line? “Poor people with a lot of Money.”
Why do some people not feel secure even when they have a lot of money? Why are they fearful of spending money? Why do they have a scarcity mindset? Why do they still live like a poor?
I am not talking here about minimalism. The kind of lifestyle Warren Buffett or Sam Walton live. They are the greatest examples of Philanthropists. Those are different. I am talking about the kind of miser Ebenezer Scrooge was in the movie A Christmas Carol.
There are many factors but one of the major factors I think is because they haven’t developed the Resourcefulness to earn that money.
Resourcefulness is the skill, the experience, the qualities that you develop to originally earn that money.
This concept is beautifully explained by my role model Stefan in this video
He shares a quote from the great motivational speaker Jim Roan in this video which goes as following:
“Everybody should make it their goal to earn a million dollar in their lifetime. Not for the money, but for who you become in the process.”
So, Powerfull!!!
The money can be stolen, but not the skills, the knowledge, the qualities, the goodwill. It is similar to my idea of the real money.
When you develop the resourcefulness you are no longer afraid of losing your money. You become confident. Even if you lose all your money you will quickly gain all of it back.
That leads to a mindset of generosity. A mindset of giving. A mindset of Abundance.
That is what we should strive to achieve. To Become Resourceful!!
So, the answer to the question in the title is:
The maximum gold that has ever been mined from is not from a physical gold mine. It is from the Brain of the Man.
Also, Remember the Golden Rule: One who has the Gold makes the Rules
