ziness 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 say。 Yet； we all have inside of us this yearning to have nice things； new things or exciting things。 So to keep that emotion of desire under control； often parents found ways of suppressing that desire with guilt。
〃You only think about yourself。 Don't you know you have brothers and sisters？〃 was one of my mom's favorites。 Or 〃You want me to buy you what？〃 was a favorite of my dad。 〃Do 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 you。 I'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 garage。 The garage is filled with toys for his kids。 Those spoiled brats get everything they ask for。 〃I don't want them to know the feeling of want〃 are his everyday words。 He has nothing set aside for their college or his retirement； but his kids have every toy ever made。 He recently got a new credit card in the mail and took his kids to visit Las Vegas。 〃I'm doing it for the kids；〃 he said with great sacrifice。
Rich dad forbade the words
