3 " Winston Churchill said, "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. "
4 " As Henry Ford said, "Thinking is the hardest work there is. That is why so few people engage in it. "
5 " It’s not what we say out loud that determines our lives. It’s what we whisper to ourselves that has the most power. "
6 " Whatever your reality is about money inside of you is the reality of money outside of you. You cannot change your outside reality until you first change your inside reality about money. "
7 " Life is a cruel teacher. It punishes you first, and then gives you the lesson. "
8 " Me di cuenta de que la riqueza era una manera de pensar y no una cantidad de dólares en el banco. "
9 " The business behind the business is the real game. It’s the business behind the business that makes money regardless of who wins the game or which way the market goes—up or down. It’s the business that sells the tickets to the game. It does not buy the tickets. "
10 " An upset is our maker’s way of telling us that we need to learn something. It is a tap on our shoulder saying, ‘Pay attention. You have something important to learn. If you lie, blame, justify, or deny the upset, you waste the upset and will waste a precious gem of wisdom.. "

The problem is that since most people have not been trained to read financial statements or trained in how to keep a personal financial statement, they have no idea how they are doing once they leave school. Many people have failing marks on their personal financial statements but think they are doing well because they have a high-paying job and a nice home. Unfortunately, if I were handing out the grades, anyone who was not financially independent by age 45 would receive a failing grade. It is not that I want to be cruel. I just want people to wake up and maybe do a few things differently, before they run out of their most important asset—time. "
