We watched “The Secret” during our Elementary Accounting class and didn’t need some Las Vegas Show Tickets. Considering that we spend 3 hours every Tuesdays and Thursdays every week, it’s such a welcome retreat from our normal discussion of assets and liabilities, debit and credit, accrued expenses and unearned revenues etc.
I’ve already read the book when a colleague recommended it to me. But the book didn’t really excite me as if I were to apply the concepts the message was trying to convey. I guess I was just still high with Rich Dad Poor Dad that I wanted something more practical when applying principles in my daily routine.
I tried my best not to listen and watch the movie but I had no choice. I also wanted to just let the message pass through my head. However, it seemed to strike me in some point. Indeed in order to have that positive energy going through your head, you need to focus on something that would really turn the situation around. Once you are able to channel your inner thoughts and expect for things to come in a positive manner, then everything will flow accordingly.
I couldn’t believe I was actually agreeing with the notion, minus the child-like eyes because I didn’t want to wonder what’ll happen if I were to apply it in real life.
Maybe I just don’t like the terminologies used; talking about the law of the universe, the law of attraction et.al. that’s why I’m a bit apprehensive with regard to really believing and faithfully following it. Besides, I’m a pessimist at heart so probably that may have been a factor. Anyway, at least I already have something write about that’s fairly new.

I read the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and I really liked it. I don’t believe that everyone should go into real estate in order to make it, but learning how money works is the first step in getting it to work for you.

I agree with the Rich Dad Poor Dad, although real estate is a bit far-fetched from what I do, it’s a matter of applying the principles in whatever venture your planning to have is what’s important. I’ve also read or I’m still trying to finish Cash Flow though. Thanks for dropping by me blog!
