I stumbled upon Amrita on facebook as one of my friends is a “fan”.
Any thoughts? 
Some Random Thoughts & Rich Dad Poor Dad
I got given a book called “Rich Dad Poor Dad” written by Robert T. Kiyosaki by my friend the other day.
I always knew of this book because it sold quite well & continues to do so I believe. Once I started reading it, I got quite excited. The more I read, however, the more I thought that this guy’s a load of b/s.
You realise by the time you’re nearing the end of the book, that there’s not much to be learned from this book. It’s definitely written for naive idiots who end up quitting their job only to regret their decision.
I found an incredibly useful site here where John Reed, a millionaire real-estate investor, gives a damning review. It’s very long & has received considerable attention. Enough for the great RK (that’s what Robert’s followers call him) to write a response to the criticisms put against him. However, his response is joke. You can find it on the web by searching something like “response to reed”.
I’ve just finished the Art of the Deal by Trump also. It’s not a bad book despite what I might’ve said earlier. Although there’s quite a bit of self-promoting crap, it’s really quite interesting to read. I thoroughly recommend anyone interested in real estate to give it a read. I don’t care much for what’s produced through Trump’s University, however. I also watched The Apprentice (again) & liked the way he dealt with the apprentices.

I’m currently reading Donald Trump’s book, “The Art of the Deal” which is quite interesting. I found his little auto-biography really boring but the book does offer some interesting insights. Additionally, I’m also watching “The Apprentice” starting from the First Season, which I’ve finished. I watched the whole season in just a couple of days which has made me feel a bit sick of the show.
Anyhow, I noticed that quotes mentioned in the show do seem to parallel what is said in the book. One of the quotes I remembered is the “Think Big” one. Donald Trump clearly only has time to think big with his billion-dollar deals (a lot of which I think are just shit anyway). Is it applicable to the rest of us?
Well, first of all, what the fuck does it mean anyway? Does mean I can only think about what all the big players are doing and not what the local businesses are doing?
It’s important not to get too caught up in the little things, but by the same token, you need to give it the attention it requires. We’ve all gotta start somewhere, right?
