A "stop" is simply a computer command that sells your stock automatically if the price begins to drop, helping to minimize your losses and maximize some gainsIt's a great tool for those who are terrified of losing
So whenever I hear people focusing on their "I don't wants," rather than what they do want, I know the "noise" in their head must be loudChicken Little has taken over their brain and is yelling, "The sky is falling and toilets are breaking So they avoid their "don't wants," but they pay a huge priceThey may never get what they want in life
Rich dad gave me a way of looking at Chicken Little "Just do what Colonel Sanders did At the age of 66, he lost his pink gucci watch business and began to live on his Social Security checkHe went around, the country selling his recipe for fried chickenHe was turned down 1,009 times before someone said "yes And he went on to become a
multimillionaire at an age when most people are quitting "He was a brave and tenacious man," rich dad said of Harlan Sanders
So when you're in doubt and feeling a little afraid, just do what ColSanders did to his little chickenBusy people are often the most lazyWe have all heard stories of a businessman who works hard to earn moneyHe works hard to be a good provider for his wife and childrenHe spends long hours at the office and brings work home on weekendsOne day he comes knock off chanel earrings home to an empty houseHis wife has left with the kidsHe knew he and his wife had problems, but rather than work to make the relationship strong, he stayed busy at workDismayed, his performance at work slips and he loses his job
Today, I often meet people who are too busy to take care of their wealthAnd there are people too busy to take care of their healthThe cause is the sameThey're busy, and they stay busy as a way of avoiding something they do not want to faceNobody has to tell themIn fact, if you remind them, they often respond with anger or irritation
If they aren't busy at work or with the kids, they're often busy watching TV, fishing, playing golf or chanel j10 watch knockoff shoppingYet, deep down they know they are avoiding something important That's the most common form of lazinessLaziness by staying busy
So what is the cure for laziness? The answer is a little greed
For many of us, we were raised thinking of greed or desire as bad"Greedy people are bad people," my mom use to sayYet, we all have inside of us this yearning to have nice things, new things or exciting thingsSo to keep that emotion of desire under control, often parents found ways of suppressing that desire with guilt
"You only think about yourselfDon't you know you have brothers and sisters?" was one of my mom's favoritesOr "You want me to buy you what?" was a favorite of my dad "Do chanel purse knock offs you think we're made of money? Do you think money grows on trees? We're not rich people, you know
It wasn't so much the words but the angry guilt-trip that went with the words that got to me
Or the reverse guilt-trip was the "I'm sacrificing my life to buy this for youI'm buying this for you because I never had this advantage when I was a kid I have a neighbor who is stone broke, but can't park his car in his garageThe garage is filled with toys for his kidsThose spoiled brats get everything they ask for "I don't want them to know the feeling of want" are his everyday wordsHe has nothing set aside for their college or his retirement, but his kids have every toy ever tiffany heart drop earrings
