      Robert Kiyosaki is a salesman, what do u expect from him? I think his advices are great, such as Good Debt and Bad Debt. I don think he is a con artist, worst come to worst, most people will only lose a few dollars and own a book. Other than that, he doesn’t sell much.

    We intend to give up most of the time but not try most of the time
    I have learned that I am the only person who can shift my mind from negative things to positive things
