We Are for you

FOR ME

RICH DAD POOR DAD

I had two fathers, a rich one and a poor one. One was highly 
educated and intelligent. He had a Ph.D. and completed four years 
of undergraduate work in less than two years. He then went on to 
Stanford University, the University of Chicago, and Northwestern 
University to do his advanced studies, all on full financial scholarships. 
The other father never finished the eighth grade.
Both men were successful in their careers, working hard all their 
lives. Both earned substantial incomes. Yet one always struggled 
financially. The other would become one of the richest men in Hawaii. 
One died leaving tens of millions of dollars to his family, charities, and 
his church. The other left bills to be paid.
Both men were strong, charismatic, and influential. Both men 
offered me advice, but they did not advise the same things. Both men 
believed strongly in education but did not recommend the same course 
of study.
If I had had only one dad, I would have had to accept or reject his 
advice. Having two dads offered me the choice of contrasting points
