Land Was Wealth 300 Years Ago, Today Information

“Land was wealth 300 year ago. So the person who owned the land owned the wealth. Then, it was factories and production, and America rose to dominance. The industrialist owned the wealth. Today it is information. And the person who has the most timely information owns the wealth. The problem is, information flies all around the world at the speed of light. The new wealth cannot be contained by boundaries and borders as land and factories were. The changes will be faster and more dramatic. There will be a dramatic increase in the number of new multimillionaires. There will also be those who are left behind.”

These words in the book by Investor, Entrepreneur and Educator Robert T. Kiyosaki should be looked into deeply by people who want to enter into finance and real estate. In the Best Seller – Rich Dad Poor Dad – which was written by Robert T. Kiyosaki with Sharon L. Lechter, C.P.A they have explained the world of finance in finer details.

I remember what Mr. Farill Farook who has lent me this book to read told

“You don’t have to read any more books after reading this.”

I believe what he meant was to enter into finance or the real estate business a person who read this book is enough for him to go further if he really changes his ideas on the real world of finance. Mr. Farill Farook is the Founder and CEO of – Colombo things to – which is a travel and life style magazine published in Sri Lanka.

Robert in his book further explained

“Today, I find so many people struggling, often working harder, simply because they cling to old ideas. They want things to be the way they were; they resist change. I know people who are losing their jobs or their houses, and they blame technology or the economy or their boss. Sadly they fail to realize that they might be the problem. Old ideas are their biggest liability. It is a liability simply because they fail to realize that while that idea or way of doing something was an asset yesterday, yesterday is gone.”

So guys! The big picture or inspiration from those words are, if you want to be ahead of others and a leader in what you do, start reading books relevant to your chosen field. Make reading a habit to gain more knowledge and more confidence to go smarter in achieving success for a happier and more fruitful life.
