Robert Toru Kiyosaki is a Japanese American who was born in Hilo, Hawaii. He has multi-talented personality as an entrepreneur, investor, motivational speaker, author and also a financial knowledge activist. Kiyosaki is also a real estate investor that spends a lot of his money on these investments and has many real estate development ventures. Besides, he has various property management projects running throughout America and his assets include big apartment complexes, hotels and golf courses.

The early narrative of this book takes us to see the financial world from a child's point of view. It seems simple, but then adult concepts quickly seep in. The example alone seems childish, but the early concept remains relevant in the adult world. This book series Rich Dad Poor Dad is an international bestseller. It is basically a comparison between his two dads, one was his poor biological but highly educated father while the other one is his friend’s rich father that was a high school dropout but was in fact Hawaii’s richest man. The content of this book is more about a journey through the world of money between two different dads with different money ideas.

Robert Toru Kiyosaki explains various skills and knowledge that need to be mastered before a person starts making money. All of that does not require a degree to be mastered. The knowledge and skills shared in this book are mostly not taught in school. It tells how important financial knowledge is in daily life. The most important thing is that you did something. Most people only talk and dream of getting rich but when you have done something, keep going and do not quit. You will only poor if you give up. A nice car and a big house do not necessarily mean that you are rich or you know how to make money. If you cannot make up your mind decisively then you will never learn to make money anyway. Besides, opportunities come and go. Being able to know when to make quick decisions is an important skill. Some people might not notice that life is the best teacher of all. Most of the time, life does not talk to you, it just sorts of pushes you around. Each push in life saying ‘Wake up. There’s something I want to learn’. If you learn life’s lessons, you will do well. If you not learn, life will just continue to push you around.

This reading also helps to learn lesson about some people give up while others fight. If you learn the lesson, you will grow into a wise, wealthy and happy person in the world. But if you do not, you will spend your life blaming a job, low pay or family for your problems. You will live a life that are always hoping for the big break that will solve all your money problems. Many people use arrogance to hide their own ignorance. Ignorance is not a bad thing if you react to your own ignorance by educating yourself finding an expert in the field.

Financially, with every money we get in our hands, we hold the power to choose our future whether we want to be rich, poor or middle class. Our spending habits reflect who we are. Invest first in education. In reality, the only real asset you have is your mind, the most powerful tool we have dominion over. Each of us has the choice of what we put in our brain once we are old enough. Young people are recommended to seek work for what they will learn more than what they will earn. Look down the road at what skills they want to acquire before choosing a specific profession and before getting trapped in Rat Race. Once people are trapped in the lifelong process of bill paying and others commitment, become like those little hamsters running around in those metal wheels.

All of you were given two great gifts, your mind and your time. It is up to you to do what you please with both. With each amount of money that enters your hand, it is just you and only you have the power to determine your destiny. I choose to share this interesting knowledge from this book and now you choose to prepare for the world that awaits because no one else will.
