Robert Kiyosaki School Quotations

Every time I hear a politician mention the word 'stimulus,' my mind flashes back to high school biology class, when I touched battery wires to a dead frog to make it twitch.

Military school was great and especially great for leadership and then I spent two years in Vietnam.

I've had all six of my books reach the New York Times bestseller list, which is especially rewarding seeing as I flunked out of high school twice because I couldn't write. It just goes to show you that we learn from our mistakes.

That's correct, I flunked out of high school twice because I couldn't write.

In military school, on day one you must memorize the mission of the Merchant Marine Academy.

Because students leave school without financial skills, millions of educated people pursue their profession successfully, but later find themselves, struggling financially.

Schools teach you how to work for money, but don't teach how to make money work for you

We were not taught financial literacy in school. It takes a lot of work and time to change your thinking and to become financially literate.

If you had seen me back in high school, there's no way you would have ever said I would become an author or teacher because I was a horrible student.

I could be a school teacher and be rich. It has nothing to do with your money; it has to do with your knowledge. If I was a school teacher, I would be ten times richer because I have more time off! They get the summer off, holidays off, weekends off.

The trouble with school is they give you the answer, then they give you the exam. That's not life.

Money is one form of power. But what is more powerful is financial education. Money comes and goes, but if you have the education about how money works, you gain power over it and can begin building wealth. The reason positive thinking alone does not work is because most people went to school and never learned how money works, so they spend their lives working for money.

The financial education taught in schools is funded and taught by the big banks and corporations. It's like having the cat train the mice.

The primary reason people seek job security is because that is what they are taught to seek, at home and at school..then with debt loads, they must cling even tighter to a job, or professional security, just to pay the bills.

In school, you are given the lesson first. On the street, you're given the mistake first and then it's up to you to find the lesson, if you ever find it.

I don't believe in giving people money. In Sunday school [you learn] that if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for life; but you give him a fish, you feed him for a day.

I think it's a tragedy that our schools don't teach kids about money. I think it's a tragedy that it has to come to an emergency before we evolve.

The main reason people struggle financially is because they have spent years in school but learned nothing about money. The result is that people learn to work for money...but never learn to have money work for them.

If you're still doing what mommy and daddy said for you to do (go to school, get a job, and save money), you're losing.

One of the things I didn't like about school is that every time they told a story about a rich guy in school, he was an evil guy. Our school system is programming us to think the rich are greedy and evil.

A problem with school is that you often become what you study. If you study, let say cooking, you become a chef. If you study law, you become an attorney, and a study of auto mechanics makes you mechanics. The mistake in becoming what you study is that, too many people forget to mind their own business. They spend their lives minding someone else's business and making that person rich

I am successful because I have always been a tortoise. I did not come from a rich family. I was not smart in school. I did not finish school. I am not particularly talented. Yet, I am far richer than most people simply because I did not stop.

The idea of going to school and getting a job is the most destructive one in your brain.
