Rich Dad, Poor Dad

If you want to build wealth, you must be willing to take risks

You need to start doing things differently to change your financial situation. And knowing how to handle risks is the biggest change you need to make. Financially successful people are risk-takers. They don’t fear risks but have developed an uncanny ability to manage and get the best of them.

Taking a risk isn’t about keeping your money in the bank. It means investing in stocks and bonds. It is riskier than your usual bank savings, but they generate more income quickly.

The truth is that the predisposition to take risks distinguishes the wealthy. While the rich are predisposed to take risks, the poor and middle class tend to “play it safe.” They hold on to their jobs with their last breath because they fear what could befall them if they lose their paychecks.

When the fear of losing overshadows the excitement of winning, people tend to play safe instead of investing in something huge. They seem to say things like, “I don’t want to lose,” but in reality, losing is inevitable.

As you progress to victory, losing is inevitable. You cannot win without losing sometimes. It is a natural way of things, which doesn’t make you a loser or a failure. It means you’ve been given a chance to learn from a new situation and grow.

To build wealth, you have to be more than willing to take risks. We struggle to make ends meet when we choose to work for someone our whole lives.
