Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective through exposure to a pair of disparate influences: his own highly educated but fiscally unstable father, and the multimillionaire eighth-grade dropout father of his closest friend. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" (whose weekly paychecks, while respectable, were never quite sufficient to meet family needs) pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad" (that "the poor and the middle class work for money, "but "the rich have money work for them"). Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. Rich Dad, Poor Dad, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter, lays out the philosophy behind his relationship with money. Although Kiyosaki can take a frustratingly long time to make his points, his book nonetheless compellingly advocates for the type of "financial literacy", that's never taught in schools. Based on the principle that income generating assets always provide healthier bottom-line results than even the best of traditional jobs, it explains how those assets might be acquired so that the jobs can eventually be shed.
What do you do after you've written the No. 1 best-seller The Millionaire Next Door？ Survey 1,371 more millionaires and write The Millionaire Mind. Dr. Stanley's extremely timely tome is a mixture of entertaining elements. It resembles Regis Philbin’s hit show (and CD-ROM game) Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, only you have to pose real-life questions, instead of quizzing about trivia. Are you a gambling, divorce-prone, conspicuously consuming "Income-Statement Affluent" Jacuzzi fool soon to be parted from his or her money, or a frugal, loyal, resole your shoes and buy your own groceries type like one of Stanley's "Balance-Sheet Affluent" millionaires？ "Cheap dates "millionaires are 4. 9 times likelier to play with their grandkids than shop at Brooks Brothers. "If you asked the average American what it takes to be a millionaire, "he writes, "they'd probably cite a number of predictable factors: in heritance, luck, stock market investments.... Topping his list would be a high IQ, high SAT scores and grade point aver

Who Moved My Cheese tells a very simple story but it contains some messages.
Rich Dad Poor Dad seems not to express ideas straightforward.
听力原文：M: Ow ! That hurts !
W: What happened？ Did you cut yourself？
M: Yes—on the edge of this paper. How can such a little cut hurt so much？ I'm not even bleeding, but my finger really hurts.
W: You know, I read something about that. It turns out that a little cut on a finger can hurt a lot more than a big cut somewhere else.
M: Why？ That doesn't make any sense.
W: Actually, it does. There are more nerve endings in your hands than almost anywhere else in the body, and it's the nerve endings that allow you to feel pain.
M: I guess that's true.
W: Also, a little cut like yours won't damage the nerve endings, just irritate them. If they were dam aged. you'd feel less pain, but the wound could be more serious.
M: So I suppose I should be happy my finger hurts so much？
W: Right. Now go get yourself a bandage.
M: Why？ You just told me it's not serious.
W: It's not, but it does seem to be bothering you. Putting a bandage over the cut will keep the skin from drying and will help the skin stay together. If the skin stays together, the nerve endings won't be exposed, and the cut will hurt less.

CATSA
Gia Andina de Triconos(CATSA) , a Bolivian joint venture of the U. S. Dresser Industries and local investors, which had based its investment(19)…an allocation under the metalworking program, closed its doors after(20)…to penetrate the Andean market after more than two years in operation.
The prospect of(21)…access to the Andean market, plus protection provided by a 55 percent" ad valorem" common outer tariff on bits sourced from outside the bloc, made the sales outlook seem(22)…However, CATSA's" monopoly" position in Ancom proved specious. (23)…the plant went on stream in 1974, the company was never able to export a single drill bit to the Andean market;and its local sales were(24)…a state-owned petroleum company. This market was clearly(25)…, since the operation had been based on exporting the bulk of the plant's 200-unit-per-month capacity to the Andean area.
CATSA could not penetrate the Ancom market for several reasons:
Although Ancom (26)…a 55 percent common outer tariff on third-country imports, some Ancom countries had previously (27)…LAFTA(Latin American Free Trade Association)tariff concessions, which take precedence over the Ancom tariffs.
Ancom members simply did not (28)…the spirit of the metalworking agreement. After the installation of the CATSA facility, plants producing tricorne bits (29)…in Peru and Venezuela.

Also, according to Bolivia, Colombia and Ecuador employed (33)…obstacles to avoid applying the common outer tariff.
The withdrawal of Chile from Ancom cost Bolivia a lucrative potential market, too.
