As one of my teachers, Buckminster Fuller, says, we were given a right foot and a left foot, not a right foot and a wrong foot. The point is that, there's always two points of view out there, and we need to increase our ability to allow another point of view. Then we have a better chance for peace.
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'm actually a lot happier because I work as a teacher; more than just a capitalist making money for myself.
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.
Financial planners are salespeople. They are NOT teachers. Get your education from someone NOT getting a commission.
You have to look for teachers. If you want to be a mechanic, go hang out with mechanics.
I believe in taking care of myself and teaching other people who want to learn. I don't believe in just printing money and giving money. I'm willing to teach those who are willing to learn. If you're not willing to learn, then go vote for Obama. I'm not Republican or Democrat, so don't get me wrong.
Success is a poor teacher

Saying that financial literacy means diversification is just another example of the fox teaching the chickens.
Success is a poor teacher. We learn the most about ourselves when we fail, so don't be afraid of failing. Failing is part of the process of success. You cannot have success without failure.
Schools teach you how to work for money, but don't teach how to make money work for you
In 'Unfair Advantage: The Power of Financial Education' and 'Why A Students Work for C Students,' I reveal the secrets of the wealthy and what schools will never teach you about money.
Every time the Fed implements 'quantitative easing,' a.k.a. printing more money, two things go up: taxes and inflation. When taxes and inflation go up, more jobs are lost.
