Do You Have Friends Like This ?
Many years ago, when Robert Kyosaki came to town, I convinced a few friends to go and listen to him speak in Spore Expo.
I paid for their tickets too. We sat very near to the front rows.
Throughout the whole event, their comments were …
“Aiya, RK is rich now, his methods need a lot of money to work”
2. “We are average Singaporeans, outside people will only laugh at us if we use this method”
3. “Listen to him can be rich? Then why people study so hard still not rich? Our school system is world best”
4. “Arrogant Ang Mo talking cock in Singapore”
5. “If he so rich, why must we pay for the tickets, ask him give free tickets la”
6. “I have attended this kind of talks before since many years ago, I applied, it did not work”
7. “Why is he using so many F-words on stage?, I don’t respect people like that”
8. “You see la, rich people become vulgar, I prefer to stay poor”
9. “Poor got dignity”
10. “This is all a scam”
And this one lagi best …. I am sure many of you have heard it ….
11. “tell you la, health is wealth. want much money for what ?”
Have you come across people like this ?
Strangely enough, I no longer hang around with these friends.
Once upon a time, we were buddies, always meet up to chat, joke and spend the evenings away.
Many of them were doing well.
They were driving good cars, wearing nice stuff, eating nice food and always talk about making money thru stock markets.
They seem very carefree.
I was struggling in life, I envied them.
That was the last time I went to seminars with them.
Since then, I would be happy to go seminars alone, meet new people, make new friends and learn new things.
Without realising it, my circle of new friends grows, while I spent lesser time with toxic ones.
As my life begins to fill with positivity, I become happier and my wealth grows.
And this leads to a better life, and better health — physically and mentally.
Not every friend is good for us.
I thank Universe for helping me to make the right decision.
Question to you before I go – do you have friends like these? Can share a story or two ?
