I want you to always think of Mrs. Martin. And I want you always to remember that donkey. Never forget that fear and desire can lead you into life’s biggest trap if you’re not aware of them controlling your thinking. To spend your life living in fear, never exploring your dreams, is cruel. To work hard for money, thinking that it will buy you things that will make you happy is also cruel. To wake up in the middle of the night terrified about paying bills is a horrible way to live. To live a life dictated by the size of a paycheck is not really living a life. Thinking that a job makes you secure is lying to yourself. That’s cruel, and that’s the trap I want you to avoid. I’ve seen how money runs people’s lives. Don’t let that happen to you. Please don’t let money run your life.
A corporation can do many things that an employee cannot, like pay expenses before paying taxes. That is a whole area of expertise that is very exciting. Employees earn and get taxed, and they try to live on what is left. A corporation earns, spends everything it can, and is taxed on anything that is left. It’s one of the biggest legal tax loopholes that the rich use.

"Всеки от нас е получил два безценни дара: ум и време. От вас зависи какво ще направите с тях. Имате силата да определите съдбата си с всяка банкнота, която вземате в ръка. Вие и единствено вие имате властта да го направите. Похарчите ли я глупаво, значи сте избрали да останете бедни. Похарчете я за пасиви и ще се присъедините към редиците на средната класа.Инвестирайте я в ума си и научете как да се сдобивате с активи; в такъв случай сте избрали богатството като ваша цел и бъдеще. Изборът е ваш, само ваш. Всеки ден, с всяка банкнота, вие решавате дали да бъдете в редиците на бедната, средната или богатата класа. Изберете да споделите тези знания с вашите деца и ще сте избрали да ги подготвите за света, който ги чака. Никой друг няма да го направи. Вашето бъдеще и бъдещето на вашите деца се определя от избора ви днес, не утре. Желаем ви голямо богатство и много щастие в този приказен подарък, наречен "живот"."
He believed that the words “I can’t afford it” shut down your brain. It didn’t have to think anymore. “How can I afford it?” opened up the brain and forced it to think and search for answers.
But most importantly, he felt the words, “I can’t afford it,” were
a lie. And the human spirit knows it. “ The human spirit is very, very powerful,” he would say. “It knows it can do anything.” By having a lazy mind that says, “I can’t afford it,” a war breaks out inside you. Your spirit is angry, and your lazy mind must defend its lie. The spirit is screaming, “Come on. Let’s go to the gym and work out.” And the lazy mind says, “But I’m tired. I worked really hard today.” Or the human spirit says, “I’m sick and tired of being poor. Let’s get out there and get rich.” To which the lazy mind says, “Rich people are greedy. Besides it’s too much bother. It’s not safe. I might lose money. I’m working hard enough as it is. I’ve got too much to do at work anyway. Look at what I have to do tonight. My boss wants it finished by morning.
