In "The Rich Don't Work for Money", Robert's Rich Dad teaches that getting a "job" is not the way to become rich. More often than not, a job is simply a way to make someone else rich. The lesson that Rich Dad has Robert take...

highlyclever Thanks again for your reply! I agree with what you say. The mind needs to be changed. It is the mind that makes a person rich or poor. A poor mind will pursue a poor person's habits. A rich mind will pursue a rich person's habits. A poor person sells his...

highlyclever Hi! The first lesson in Rich Dad, Poor Dad, is that the Rich don't work for money. Kiyosaki goes on to say that the Rich make money work for them, but I think that his meaning is a little more complex. It is true that the Rich have money, and so they can put...

highlyclever That is a good question. I will also have a vacation soon, for which I will be traveling and visiting relatives. I will be tired, also, but it will be good to get away and get a fresh perspective and a new start. Hope that teaching is going well for you!...

I bought two books today, on accounting and audit. I've known nothing about these two subjects, so they both in Chinese. My friend said that it's very difficult to self learn accounting. I will try and...

highlyclever Congratulations to you for trying something new! Are you trying to learn personal accounting for yourself? Or are you trying to learn business accounting in order to find a job in that field? People can teach themselves, although it may be difficult to...

Truth: I am a man. Truth again: I am not the world's best laundry do-er. In fact, there are times when I've done that typical man-thing of dropping my dirty, sweaty, exercise clothes in a ball on the bathroom floor (next to...

highlyclever I agree with what you have to say. I think that you are right - that if doing the laundry is something that parents teach to all of their children, the children grow up doing their laundry as a normal course of events in their life. One thing that can often...

highlyclever It is good of your husband to help you, and I agree that doing laundry does not tarnish a macho image. (It actually may help to strengthen a relationship!) Thanks for sharing your comments!

highlyclever I told another friend on mylot about this site that I found. It tells how to build a "wind powered washing machine". Some soldiers during World War II in the South Pacific decided that they needed clean clothing. They did not have any electricity, but they had...

highlyclever Thanks, Monaliu! It really puzzles me why so many men do not launder their own clothes. I think that they have learned a habit from their childhood, or they have adopted a view of the world in which men do not launder clothing. Yet there is nothing that is...

highlyclever Doing laundry a little bit at a time makes it so that you do not have one huge pile that has accumulated over time. It really is a matter of a person's perspective - whether laundry is something is that they don't mind or whether it is something that they...

highlyclever I suppose that if you did not do the laundry, that it would never get done! It is not an overwhelming chore, because you only have laundry for one. Do you have access to a machine, or do you wash your clothing by hand? Cheers to you, too!

highlyclever It's amazing how if a man would take the time, even to do some of the smaller tasks, could have a huge impact! When a gal takes all of the tasks that she does in a day - all of those one minute, two minute, five minute tasks really add up over time - and...
