Why We Want You To Be Rich by Donald J. Trump & Robert T. Kiyosaki

It took me quite some time to finish reading this book. (About 1-2 months). But I have learnt alot from it. And I am going to share some of the points that the book cover and will apply it in my life.

Firstly, I learnt a basic principle from this book, which is, 'THINK BIG!' I admit that it's time to think larger for my future in every area. It doesn't cost anything to think big anyway. For me, I just got to learn to stretch my goals in term of spiritual, mental and financial.

I also learnt that it's pointless to complain regardless of whatever situation you are in because by complaining, it won't change anything as well. I need to stop complaining but instead get things done with passion and exuberance. :)

Donald J. Trump says "The worst disservice we can do to ourselves is to expect things to be easy." By experience, I agree to that and don't expect things to be easy because it will turn out to be the opposite. Learn from every negative experience and the next time when you encounter the similiar situation, you will not feel so frustrated. :)

George S. Patton says "Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity." I think this is so true. For me it applys in the music band that I am in. I try my very best not to tell the band members what to do exactly during practice because I know that God will input creativity on them and they will be able to play a more heavenly and a different kind of music.

When you make a mistake, please do not lie about it or pretend you did not make one. Instead take the time to learn from your mistakes, and you will learn faster than those who avoid making mistakes or pretend they do not make any. (This is something I am trying to apply in my life as you know that sometimes it's not easy to admit to our mistakes because of our human pride. I am going to keep telling myself that 'it's ok to make mistake as long as you are willing to learn from it.')

Last but not least, these are the 3 areas that I wish to increase in my life. They are Health, Wealth and Happiness. Health should be the most important because if you do not have it, you will not be able to enjoy the remaining 2. Being healthy for me sometimes is a problem too due to ill-discipline. My aim is to keep up to a healthy lifestyle by working out at least twice per week whether is it running or gyming. My end goal should be having a healthy body to be able to spend more time with my love ones and also to enjoy the wealth and happiness I will be having in the future. :)
