Rich Dad Poor Dad By Robert Kiyosaki is a must read for every entrepreneur and investor!

The reason this book is a must read is because this book explains that there is always a different outlook upon life and money; it displays to the reader that the normal societal path to success is not the only way to become financially stable.

Kiyosaki shows readers that he had a rich dad (his friend's father) and a poor dad his biological father). Robert explained that his rich dad did not finish the 8th grade and that his poor dad received his master's degree. What distinguished his rich dad from his poor day is the way the rich dad thought and went about his life financially; his rich dad believed in leveraging and believed there is a way to afford anything you may desire.

This lesson is the greatest of all because as an aspiring entrepreneur you have to think outside of the box and create paths in order to attain your vision.

With society pressuring students to further their education and get internships, entrepreneurs think very differently from this and that's why this book is fantastic!

Rich Dad Poor Dad encourages entrepreneurs to follow their vision and to not allow the average societal path to cause them to not follow their dream.

This book also exhibits the way how business owners think compared to the people who do not own a business. It shows that many individuals who work a typical 9-5 job depend on pensions, 401Ks, and retirement benefits from the company they work for.

These individuals are technically putting their whole future in the hands of a company that they worked for, for many years!

This book teaches that it's okay to be different and do not follow what your teachers, mentors, or parent may want for you; because at the end of the day your future is in your hands and you determine how you would like it to look.

I would like to conclude that investing in a copy of Rich Dad Poor Dad By Robert Kiyosaki is an amazing investment not just for yourself, but also for your future!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
