"The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them." ~ Robert T. Kiyosaki

We Filipinos value education so much. Our parents go through great lengths just to bring us to school. They even borrow and pawn their things just to have us finish a degree, saying that it is the only inheritance that they can leave us. A lot of us go to college for four or five years. Some even take graduate studies and some other take second courses.

There is really nothing with being educated. In fact, it is better to be educated than be ignorant. The sad part of it though is that SCHOOL EDUCATION IS NOT ENOUGH. It never is. It may teach you about your professional career and how to work for money, but school will never teach you how to be rich. If you want to be successful financially, then you can never rely on school learning alone. Why? Because there are no subjects about MONEY in school. After graduation, majority of us go to work, get our paycheck, balance our finances, and that's it. We go along day by day, working for money, and then we wonder why we have money problems. Most often, people think that more money will solve the problem. Only a few realize that it is their lack of financial education that is the real problem.

People wake up everyday dreading to go to work. They work long hours, hoping for promotion or a raise. They worry about their bills and all the other expenses at hand. They are living a life dictated by the size of their paycheck. They are working for money. That I believe, is not how you should live your life. WHY NOT LEARN HOW TO MAKE MONEY WORK FOR YOU? Instead of you working hard, you work smart and let your money do the working. You only need to learn how to identify an opportunity.

People say that they haven't had any opportunity and that they are still waiting for their chance. They didn't know that if they focus on educating themselves financially, they would be able see what most people miss. Making your money work for you is easy. You only need to use your thoughts, creativity, and be open to learn new things everyday. Do not be afraid to try something new. Most successful people didn't do what most of the people are doing, successful people are the ones who stood out of the crowd and walked on a different path.
