I am half-way through the book "Rich dad, Poor dad"
Picked them up from my brother's room.
A great book. SOT has somehow got me interested in reading. Now that i am done with assignments, all the test, it has somehow been a part of my life! So, by not reading is just like a puzzle missing in the whole picture.
Ok anyway, i can so totally relate to the story! I live in a family where my parents work for money, happy enough to have a long vacation, bring us up for education and back to work again to slough their life out for more money to the next gateaway. "The rat race"; they call it. My mum work so hard, 7 days a week and my dad look forward to his weekends for some rest. I don't come from a very well-to-do family but we do get the neccessity covered, the basics are there and we go for a good get away once in a while. Enough to live by.
My parents do not take much risk, just comfrotable at their monthly few k job allowance? That really got me thinking. Some people work to get a car, then a condor, a country club membership, lots of cash, a few credit card. So how then should i live my life so that i do not fall into this rat-race? Does education really bring you to where you should go? Or is the cultural aspect of going through education, i mean good education, good school and getting good grades, getting a high paying job, get married, have lots of children, getting ready for their education and falling into the category of rat racing!
So how now brown cow? Wait till i finish the book. hee hee hee!
