Do you have a similar life too?
Do you think there is a way to change this?
Do you have better ideas to keep a balance in life?
Anything colorful?
Stress-free?
Social Clubs?
Sports?
Cultural activities?
Any other suggestion?
I am here to listen... :D

So what was your formula for success Arnie?

I gather its been through property investment but do you have any specific investment strategies that have worked the best for you?

Knowledge is good but you can always hire it from someone else ;)

noooooooooooo

it means one has to make it oneself, never be reliant on others. If you dont have it, no one can give it to you

i disagree, you are only buying someone else's opinion.

you should never buy knowledge, it is freely available.

not sure if you understood my post .... I mean that when I need legal advice I hire a lawyer (as I do not have the knowledge myself) tax advice an accountant etc etc

To acquire the levels of knowledge to function at a competant level in all those areas would take most of your life with little or no time to spend creating wealth.

ok i got you, but i was referring to that which contributes to success. In the case of say hiring a lawyer, this is not relevant.

I would view this as merely a tool to be used on the road to success.

A book by a man with a strategy he never followed. Makes it kind of hard to swallow. Personally, I feel Robert T. Kiyosaki will the demise of many people's 'fortunes'. Overgearing is always problematic.

The message of leverage though is a good message, I've read it in many business books.

Interesting i never researched his life but why do you say he never followed his own advice ? I am not exactly sure of what you mean by "overgearing" too.

Yeah I read a few of his books and while they were useful for changing ones perceptions they didnt seem to carry a huge amount of weight. However it was his book that at age 19 made me realise that whilst driving a WRX was "cool" I was in fact driving around in my first house deposit .... so the car went and the properties started to come.

Personally I much prefer John Burley and Steve McKnights work though.

Dance... Dance till you drop! Jul 08, 2006
Hi All, Thanks for changing the subject ;) that's a good what of twisting reality. I have joined a club which has a dance class, i didn't like it that much but i have to admit that it was fun. I have this thought that dance isn't nice without a partner unless there was someone cute in that class which is totally not the case at all. Conclusion i'm back to my regulars!

:lol: Poor cutie... Actually I was having some serious thoughts of joining a salsa class but I am just afraid of ending up with some old ppl... Like you said it's important to at least attend one class before registering
