201 Timeless quotes from Robert Kiyosaki, author of rich dad poor dad

My parents believed in job security, company pensions, Social Security, and Medicare. These are all worn-out, obsolete ideas left over from an age gone by. Today job security is a joke, and the very idea of lifetime employment with a single company—an ideal so proudly championed by IBM in its heyday—is as anachronistic as a manual typewriter. Robert Kiyosaki Many thought their 401(k) retirement plans were safe. Hey, they were backed by blue-chip stocks and mutual funds, what could go wrong? As it turned out, everything could go wrong. The reason these once-sacred cows no longer give any milk is that they are all obsolete: pensions, job security, retirement security—it’s all Industrial- Age thinking. We’re in the Information Age now, and we need to use Information- Age thinking. Robert Kiyosaki “Instead of walking away with a solid financial education, most kids leave school- some already deeply in debt – prepared only to work hard, save money, get out ofdebt, invest for the long term and diversify.” Robert Kiyosaki “Financial security is more important than job security. E’s and S’s get punished for making mistakes, or they lose their job. B’s and I’s get richer from their mistakes because they learn from their mistakes.” Robert Kiyosaki “Taxes. The harder you work for money, the more you will pay in taxes, right? ” Robert Kiyosaki “The rules have changed. In 1971 the U.S. dollar stopped being money and it… It became a currency. It became debt.” Robert Kiyosaki “The way you increase your means is to acquire more assets—not houses or cars—but assets. The reason so many people struggle financially is that they have no financial education. They may be a good doctor or lawyer or accountant or rock star, but if they don’t know the difference between assets and liabilities and they keep buying liabilities instead of assets.” Robert Kiyosaki “Our real estate that we own is all basically financed with our tenants, so that’s what I consider to be good debt. So when we get real estate, we get proper leverage, and it’s paid by all the residents who live in all of our projects.” Robert Kiyosaki “Go to a bank and the banker will sell you mutual funds. But ask them if they will loan you money to buy those mutual funds, and the answer is no. But if we go in and say we want to buy real estate, they’ll ask us how much we want.” Robert Kiyosaki “The only way for you to have a genuinely secure future is for you to take control of that future. “Robert Kiyosaki “An asset is something that puts money in my pocket. A liability is something that takes money out of my pocket. That’s really all you need to know. If you want to be rich or get out of the rat race, simply spend your life buying assets. If you want to be poor or middle class, spend your life buying liabilities. “Robert Kiyosaki “Who is going to get richer in the long run? Someone who works all their lives trying to save a million dollars? Or someone who knows how to borrow a million dollars at 10 percent interest and also knows how to invest it and receive a 25 percent per year return on that borrowed million dollars?” Robert Kiyosaki “Who would you have to be and what would you have to know in order to call your banker and say, ‘I want to borrow a million dollars.’ Then have the banker say, ‘I will have the papers ready for you to sign in twenty minutes.” Robert Kiyosaki “The most important work in the world of money is cash flow. The second most important word is leverage. “ Robert Kiyosaki “If you want to be rich, you need to know the differences between good debt and bad debt; good expenses and bad expenses; good income and bad income; and good liabilities and bad liabilities. Simply put, good debt is debt that puts money in your pocket every month, and bad debt is debt that takes money from your pocket every month.” Robert Kiyosaki

The feeling of having no power over people or events is usually unbearable — when we feel helpless we feel miserable.

Men of power master the art of social interactions and cultivate an appearance that earns them respect and eliminates any kind of suspicion. They know how to adapt to any kind of circumstances. They have complete control over their emotions. They practice misdirection, secrecy, and selective honesty to manipulate and gain a tactical advantage. They set clear goals and do all it takes to achieve them.

A Nor’easter blows into Paradise and churns up the past—in the stunning new addition to Robert B. Parker’s New York Times–bestselling series featuring Police Chief Jesse Stone.
 
In the wake of a huge storm, three bodies are discovered in the rubble of an abandoned factory building in an industrial part of Paradise known as The Swap.

But found within feet of that body are the skeletal remains of two teenage girls who had gone missing during a Fourth of July celebration twenty-five years earlier.

And things become even more complicated when one of the dead girls’ mothers returns to Paradise to bury her daughter and is promptly murdered. It’s up to Police Chief Jesse Stone to pull away the veil of the past to see how all the murders are connected.

Robert B. Parker’s Kickback (Spenser)

P.I. Spenser, knight-errant of the Back Bay, returns in this stellar addition to the iconic New York Times–bestselling series from author Ace Atkins.

What started out as a joke landed seventeen-year-old Dillon Yates in a lockdown juvenile facility in Boston Harbor. When he set up a prank Twitter account for his vice principal, he never dreamed he could be brought up on criminal charges, but that’s exactly what happened.
 
This is Blackburn, Massachusetts, where zero tolerance for minors is a way of life.
 
Leading the movement is tough-as-nails Judge Joe Scali, who gives speeches about getting tough on today’s wild youth. But Dillon’s mother, who knows other Blackburn kids who are doing hard time for minor infractions, isn’t buying Scali’s line. She hires Spenser to find the truth behind the draconian sentencing.
 
From the Harbor Islands to a gated Florida community, Spenser and trusted ally Hawk follow a trail through the Boston underworld with links to a shadowy corporation that runs New England’s private prisons. They eventually uncover a culture of corruption and cover-ups in the old mill town, where hundreds of kids are sent off to for-profit juvie jails.

Robert B. Parker’s Blind Spot (A Jesse Stone Novel)

Police Chief Jesse Stone is back in the remarkable new installment of the New York Times–bestselling series.
 
It’s been a long time since Jesse Stone left L.A., and still longer since the tragic injury that ruined his chances for a major league baseball career. When Jesse is invited to a reunion of his old Triple-A team at a hip New York city hotel, he is forced to grapple with his memories and regrets over what might have been.

Jesse left more behind him than unresolved feelings about the play that ended his baseball career. The darkly sensuous Kayla, his former girlfriend and current wife of an old teammate is there in New York, too. As is Kayla’s friend, Dee, an otherworldly beauty with secret regrets of her own. But Jesse’s time at the reunion is cut short when, in Paradise, a young woman is found murdered and her boyfriend, a son of one of the town’s most prominent families, is missing and presumed kidnapped.

Though seemingly coincidental, there is a connection between the reunion and the crimes back in Paradise. As Jesse, Molly, and Suit hunt for the killer and for the missing son, it becomes clear that one of Jesse’s old teammates is intimately involved in the crimes. That there are deadly forces working below the surface and just beyond the edge of their vision. Sometimes, that’s where the danger comes from, and where real evil lurks. Not out in the light—but in your blind spot.

Robert B. Parker’s Cheap Shot (Spenser)

The iconic, tough-but-tender Boston PI Spenser returns in an outstanding new addition to the New York Times-bestselling series from author Ace Atkins.

Kinjo Heywood is one of the New England Patriots’ marquee players—a hard-nosed linebacker who’s earned his reputation as one of the toughest guys in the league. When off-field violence repeatedly lands Heywood in the news, his slick agent hires Spenser to find the men who he says have been harassing his client.

Heywood’s troubles seem to be tied to a nightclub shooting from two years earlier. But when Heywood’s nine-year-old son, Akira, is kidnapped, ransom demands are given, and a winding trail through Boston’s underworld begins, Spenser puts together his own all-star team of toughs. It will take both Hawk and Spenser’s protégé, Zebulon Sixkill, to watch Spenser’s back and return the child to the football star’s sprawling Chestnut Hill mansion. A controversial decision from Heywood only ups the ante as the clock winds down on Akira’s future.
