EXPECTATION
“Expect the best, plan for the worst and prepare to be surprised.” —Denis Waitley
“It is funny about life: If you refuse to accept anything but the very best, you will very often get it.” —W. Somerset Maugham
“Life... it tends to respond to our outlook, to shape itself to meet our expectations.” —Richard M. DeVos
“The real winners in life are the people who look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work or make it better.” —Barbara Pletcher
One dad was highly educated and intelligent. He had a Ph.D., completed four years of undergraduate work in less than two years, and went to Stanford University, the University of Chicago and Northwestern University for his advanced studies—all on full, financial scholarships.
His other dad never finished the eighth grade. Both men were successful in their careers, working hard all their lives. Both earned substantial incomes.
Yet one dad struggled financially all his life and the other dad became one of the richest men in Hawaii. One died leaving tens of millions of dollars to his family, charities and his church. The other left a legacy of unpaid bills. Both men were strong, charismatic and influential. Both men offered Robert advice, but they did not advise the same things.
One dad said, “The love of money is the root of all evil.”
The other said, “The lack of money is the root of all evil.”
Having two dads—and loving them both—forced Robert to think about, and ultimately choose, a way of thinking for himself.
At the age of 9, Robert chose not to listen to his real dad—the one with all the college degrees—on matters of money. He decided to listen to and learn from his rich dad about money.
CREATE YOUR DESTINY
Every individual has a place to fill in the world, and is important, in some respect, whether he chooses to be or not.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Take the tools in hand and carve your own best life.
