He explained that often times it's the love of something- like money, material, possessions, or power-and the fear of losing them, that command people to act. That love and fear are really the only two things that can forever alter a person, whether for the better or worse.

About This Quote

When Robert Kiyosaki said, “He explained that often times it's the love of something- like money, material, possessions, or power-and the fear of losing them, that command people to act. That love and fear are really the only two things that can forever alter a person, whether for the better or worse,” he was speaking about the human condition. When people get anxious about losing their possessions or their power, they can't help but act out in their lives. The line between good and bad behavior is very thin.

How you act today can change your life tomorrow. It's interesting to note that Kiyosaki's second book is called "Rich Dad Poor Dad" which addresses this same topic.
