To choose who we befriend carefully.

The author stipulates that who we are with defines

our principles, mindset, growth, and fortune in both business and personal aspects. Choosing a circle
that would surround us is crucial as we need those people whom we could learn from. In a group full
of successful people, rather than asking them for a job or a loan, try to seek knowledge from them.
Query on how they make money, how they got there, and accept advice. Be ready to avoid listening
to frightened people. Paying attention to those who are often doubting would certainly not help you
rise and improve. Lay hold of those with whom you share a similar interest and have done what you
aim to achieve and learn from them. Even in friendships today, we should be learning from one
another and helping each other grow. This advice would help us focus more on what we can do as an
individual.

One difficulty nowadays is we try to gradually learn to do a certain activity yet, skip the
most important part which is the application. To make that learning to our advantage is to put into
action what we have learned. If it does not work out for us, then the main factor that we should
consider is that we’ve gained new knowledge and that we could practice finding the fastest way to
execute that particular activity.

Saving money should be a priority for everyone. Savings are an immense contributor to
a good future. The book explained that it’s important to pay yourself first before paying your liabilities,
to preferably invest in things that would, later on, benefit you. Having the discipline to allot a certain
amount of savings would surely gain and secure you later on eventually. We could apply this as early
as now, since we are still students we don’t have daily expenses yet, saving up today even the littlest
amount could be a big help for us in time.

Brokers are described by the author as the eyes and ears in the market. Robert Kiyosaki
had explained in different ways how important information is hence when we consider availing their
services it is only fair that we pay brokers well as this signifies that their services had gained you.
Being honest with them would benefit you as they would surely be upright to you as well. Not only
how we handle the people that we think are in line with us or often the people we think who are below
us but, it is important to know how to handle those who are above or ahead of us.
