Mulling over the Robert Kiyosaki's Cash Flow Quadrant Part 3

-
Recently, I received news that the organization I am working for will undertake a redundancy program. I said to myself  "this might be the opportune time to try moving to the other side of the quadrant."  Presently, I am on the left side of quadrant specifically the "E" quadrant, which means, I get my income being an employee.  I've been doing this for the past 25 years or so.

It's not easy going to other side of the quadrant.  Robert Kiyosaki in his book "Rich Dad's Cash Flow Quadrant" said that those who will try this, will experience anxiety similar to the feeling of drowning. But he said that the anxiety can be overridden, if the person going through the change is emotionally prepared to face it.  Robert also added that it's like "addiction".  If you're used to earning money as an "employee" it will be difficult to change.  One will experience withdrawal symptoms like an addict. 

The thought that's going on in my mind while pondering on the crossing over is "what if my money ran out and I still don't have an income source from B and I quadrant?"  I can never know my reaction if I don't experience it first hand.  

Robert in his book assured us, however, that it is possible to make the change if it's a conscious decision and to have faith in one's God given talents.  I guess I'll be writing in my future blogs on my experiences during and after the cross-over.

The Seventies - The "Disco" Era

The seventies was undoubtedly the "disco" era.  As a teenager, I listened and danced to the distinct sound of that era. When "Saturday Night Fever" hit the movie theaters in 1978,  I became an avid fan of the Bee Gees and other bands that played the disco sound.   Besides listening to disco sound, I also mimicked dance steps like the "swing" and "L.A. shuffle" from a local popular TV show the "Penthouse Seven." I strutted my stuff every time  I danced with a partner at birthday parties held in friends' residences. Bands that dished out disco tunes during the '70s were  ABBA  with their  song "Dancing Queen";   Donna Summer 's   goosebumps-raising song "Last Dance."  Other bands like  KC and the Sunshine Band ,  The Trammps ,  Van McCoy ,  Gloria Gaynor ,  The Village People ,  Chic , and  The Jacksons   also flooded the radio airwaves in the '70s .   I even followed their progress over the loc

Grandfather@50

I will be turning 50 before the  end of this year, and what better way to usher in my golden boy status is becoming a bonafide grandfather.  I now have a grandson, his name is Samien. He was born on April 25, 2012. His parents say that the name means "to be heard".  I guess their choice was right because when Samien cries, he is really heard by everybody. I noticed remarkable things in Samien.  While just a new born, he showed to us that he has strong legs and arms.  He can push himself upwards in the crib and was tireless in raising his small arms every  now and then.  Also, he is not the quiet type because he always cries and laughs unlike other babies inside the nursery who are peacefully asleep.  At three months old, he speaks amusing although unintelligible syllables.  Also, at three months, he is rather long for babies his age and quite heavy for a three month old baby.  He weighed in at 5 kilogram during his visit to his pediatrician. Samien, quite surprisingly

Do you prefer healthy living? Go organic rice! Health buffs would like to get their hands on real organic rice. If you're one of them, do you know which ones are authentic organic rice? This blog will tell you all you need to know about organic rice. Some people think that organic rice is red and brown rice variety only.  Not really. It comes in other varieties and colors such as white, black, etc.  The idea that red and brown alone are organic rice is wrong.  These rice varieties are now sold under specific brands in leading supermarkets in the Philippines, however, not all of them are organic rice. But how will you know if you're buying organic rice or not? Organic rice is farmed without using synthetic fertilizer and chemical pesticide inputs. Besides the inputs, there are other things to consider such as -  How was it planted? What were the farming methods used? Was there contamination along the supply chain until it has reached the end consumer? There are variet
