*****
Happiness and success do not just happen. They require the assistance of others. Having a mentor in life is what separates the successful from everyone else. Parents are often the only opportunity any of us will have at having a mentor in life. Parents are critical to the success and happiness of children. Parents who teach their children success strategies set their children up to be happy and successful in life. Good, mentoring parents contribute to the overall betterment of society when they teach their children success strategies. Their children take these strategies with them into their adult lives. As a result, they have fulfilling careers that reward them emotionally and financially. It becomes a generational cycle of success, as our children then pass along these same success strategies to their children.
Muszę przyznać, że jeśli chodzi o "Bogate dzieci" to zawiodłam się lekko. W porównaniu do innych książek, które czytałam z serii "Inwestuj w siebie" ta wypadła blado. Bardzo nie pasowała mi forma opowiadanej historii, ponieważ przez to utraciłam poczucie, że to poradnik i w którymś momencie stało się to dla mnie jedynie zwykłą opowieścią. Przez to też tak naprawdę nie wyniosłam wiele z tej pozycji, zostało mi coś w tej głowie, ale nie wiele. Czy to jednak znaczy, że "Bogate dzieci" w żaden sposób nie są w stanie nam pomóc i zmienić naszych nawyków? Nic bardziej mylnego. Sądzę, że jeśli ma się chęci oraz samozaparcie może wynieść z niej sporo. Po prostu trzeba wiedzieć jak się zabrać do jego czytania. Musicie zrobić to, co kiedyś autorowi kazał jego mentor. Wziąć notes i długopis, a następnie skrupulatnie wszystko notować. Oto klucz do sukcesu.
This is something different than I expected, so after one hour of listening I dropped the book. It is typical coaching book, basically coming down to telling you to spend less and save more in order to get rich, at least in the part I've heard. Also they tell you that rich people are happy, sporty, active, positive, like their job. I know many rich people that are opposite to that. I didn't get to the part about children, if there is any.
Komunały, naczytał się autor kyosakiego i na tej samej kanwie próbuje zostać millionerem pisząc książki dla ekonomicznych analfabetów (czyli sprzedaje rady w stylu "bogaci powinni 4 razy w tygodniu uprawiać aktywność areobowa". a czemu nie 3 tylko taki magic number? już się nie dowiemy.
Nie popartych niczym rad z tyłka jest więcej.
W dodatku skupienie na materializmie level hard. Jeśli szczęśliwe życie musi się kręcić ciągle wokół kasy i jej wydawania a taka treść autor przekazuje. To może dzieci i będą bogate ale mało wartościowe.
Chociaż z tymi radami jak się bogacić to też nie takie pewne że im to się uda 😉
Mam mieszane uczucia. Forma przewodnika jest typowo storytellingowa. Narrator ma syna o imieniu Brendan (zupełnie jak autor). Opowiada mu o swoim dziadku, J.C. Jobsie, który rzekomo napisał książkę "Nawyki bogatych" (zupełnie jak autor!) i nauczył go mnóstwa mądrych rzeczy podczas wakacji, gdy to narrator miał 12 lat. Czyli autor używa niby to fikcyjnej historii, w której jest jednocześnie sobą i własnym dziadkiem. Wg mnie ten element jest co najmniej dziwny. Jakby z lekka narcystyczny?
Mimo wszystko książkę czyta się świetnie, szybko i da się wiele z niej wyciągnąć. Brakuje mi trochę jakiejś konkluzji, dlaczego dziadek pokazał chłopcu tryb życia, w którym jest tydzień zabawy przeplatany z tygodniem pracy nad sobą i nauki. Co to miało unaocznić? Dlaczego akurat taki sztywny podział? Przydałoby się choćby jedno zdanie, np. "tak działam ja, a ty możesz zorganizować sobie życie jak chcesz", albo "wielu bogatych ludzi ma właśnie taki nawyk". Niestety zostajemy z wielką niewiadomą w tej kwestii.
Brakuje mi też trochę w tym wszystkim takiego dopasowania do realiów dziecka. Rada, żeby zapisać się do BNI, gdzie rocznie potrzeba tysięcy złotych do opłacenia członkostwa? J.C. mówi, że można stworzyć własną organizację tego typu, ale temat jest słabo rozwinięty, więc zostajemy z niczym. I to nie jest rada dla dziecka! Ani nawet dla początkującego przedsiębiorcy. Tak samo polecanie Toastmasters. Toastmasters to 1000zł rocznie w plecy, plus składka 80zł. W jaki sposób to ma pomóc dwunastolatkowi?! Nie są to adekwatne dla niego rozwiązania i możliwości.
Byłoby super, gdyby autor podpowiedział, co robić z pieniędzmi otrzymywanymi na różne okazje, jak zabawki tracą na wartości, w co może inwestować młody człowiek, jak opracowywać budżety. Wiele informacji, którymi dzieli się z nami książkowy bohater J.C. Jobs są z wyższej półki i po bazy niestety trzeba będzie sięgnąć gdzie indziej.
Szukam dalej książki idealnej, która poprowadzi mnie za rękę. Mnie, jako rodzica, który chce poprawić swoje nawyki i wychować dziecko na odpowiedzialnie zarządzające budżetem. A do tej książki będę wracać, zostaje na półce. Mimo osobliwej konwencji jest cenna. Zamierzam również przeczytać poprzednią książkę tego autora - o nawykach bogatych.

Priviledged white man states happiness is a habit while talking about his holiday of flying helicopters, air baloons and meeting president of USA. There are some useful tips how to change your habits (rather obvious ones) but most of statements is true only for habitants of wealhy northern hemisphere. Not applicable for child labourers in mika mines whose goal is to earn enough to have a dinner nor for their parents whose only choice is to let their children work and live or let them go to school and die of starvation. Not true for millions of refugees and people who work hard and save but will still not be able to save for house in 5 years.
W książce znajduje się kilka cennych rad, ale jeśli autor normalizuje codzienne picie kieliszka mocnego alkoholu, jako "kontrolowanie zjawiska", a w innym miejscu wymienia alkohol na liście produktów posiadających wartościowy cholesterol, to powiem Wam, że znam lepsze poradniki na temat samorozwoju.
Every kid needs to read this book on not only money management but life management. In the style of the Richest Man in Babylon, it’s an easy read with several life-changing habit presented in story form. I want each of my kids to read this.
This one felt to me like it has a whole of lot of white and class privilege to it. Some of the advice was good, but overall, not a book I’ll likely recommend to friends.
Author Tom Corley, grandson of success coach, J.C. Jobbs, shares with his own son what’s in an old notebook Tom has carried around since he was in middle school. This refreshing & inspiring read presents in digestible segments, how over one summer, Tom’s productive grandfather teaches him skills to nurture positive vs. negative traits. J.C.’s examples stress turning what can help you be successful in life into habits as well as recognizing and overcoming what can be harmful in the long-run; J.C. even studied hundreds of people successful in life to see what traits they all shared. The writing’s perspective presents J.C. as the mentor and Tom as the student — driving across the point of the importance of mentoring others, whether it be like the author’s illustration of 4 generations of mentoring or asking someone you respect who may have strengths in an area you want to improve. While I am blessed to have a lot of people in my life that specialize in areas I am inspired in, what if you don’t have a person to learn from? — J.C. stresses making the effort to go out into your extended circle or community to find a mentor in the area you want to improve in. J.C. also breaks down, “The Three Traits of Successful People”, “Daily Self-Improvement” and “The Anatomy of a Goal.”
Throughout the book, I noticed that J.C. didn’t seem to brag or need to have attention on himself. Something that especially stood out was how J.C. was already well into his 60’s in age yet could outplay Tom in any sport on top of his profound words of wisdom. In small bits throughout the book, we learn that J.C. was not only considered one of the most respected personal improvement coaches around the world, he was also healthy and athletic enough to be a former coach of John McEnroe; oh, and he was also a mentor to Ronald Reagan when he was an actor and eventually Reagan’s speech writer when he went into politics (Reagan was even on J.C.’s staff as a personal improvement coach!). That humbleness follows J.C.’s lesson of not bragging and constantly drawing attention to yourself — that’s a poverty trait — (balanced by when you are extra proud of something). On the flip side, the 5:1 lesson of listening versus speaking is shown in action. Tom and J.C. are invited to a White House event; rather than bragging about how grandpa is bringing him on different learning trips, Tom practices listening, engaging in the conversation, making the effort to remember the conversation, and, making the effort to stay in touch with the people. As a result, Tom is able to get a job internship when he is much older; plus, to this day, he stills maintains a friendship with another tween he met at the event. While at first the examples shared seemed to be common sense, I really had to stop and think about whether I make the effort myself in each of the topics.
The book is also worth having in digital form so you can bookmark the learning lists! This is a beneficial read for young people and even families to read together. Learning from his own grandfather’s writing methods, Tom purposely breaks the lessons into manageable parts, presenting scenarios in ways we can relate to them even now. Work hard, play hard or remember to reward yourself for accomplishments. Be healthy mind, body and spirit. Determine whether an intent is a wish or a personal goal; turn that wish into goal. Give back to the community, roll up your sleeves and volunteer. Make time for reading or listening to self-improvement literature is another lesson mentioned in the book. This book would truly be an approachable read to tackle together in a class setting. In school, we learn about career ed, sex ed, testing skills, but not much on how to grow positive habits outside of school-related purposes. The various learning methods could apply to any of us. I hope to see an updated version of the book in the future in a voice directing & mentoring teens to build skills that will help us grow richer in life when we are out on our own!
Very good lessons for life. This book would definitely give someone the power to change their path of success in life. Excellent book for middle school age on up. Great tools given here to learn about goals (immediate, and long term, breaking your goals down to become manageable, hard work,staying focused,rich habits vs. poverty habits,the importance of mentors,remembering names,procrastination, volunteering,rich emotions vs poverty emotions,the victory log, conquering our fears. This book is full of great strategies that would make your kids confident and successful in life.
Easy read packed full of great advice, although I found it more interesting than my teenage son did. The last few chapters were not as interesting to me or it just got too long.
Very pithy, easy read. Many good ideas. Assumes financially independent leads to happy and successful which may or may not be the case. There was some cross over with How to Win Friends and Influence People.
