Robert Kiosaki - On Learning

I was listening to a tape by Peter Lynch and he had said something I completely disagreed with. Instead of becoming arrogant and critical , I simply pushed "rewind" and I listened to that five-minute stretch of tape at least twenty times, possibly more. But suddenly , by keeping my mind open , I understood why he said what he said.

The Net Result : I still have the old way I USED TO THINK , and I have Peter's way of looking at the same problem or situation. I have two thoughts instead of one. One more way to analyze a problem or trend, and that is priceless. Today , I often say , "How would Peter Lynch do this , or Donald Trump or Warren Buffet or George Soros?" The only way I can access their vast mental power is to be humble enough to read or listen to what they have to say. Arrogant or critical people are often people with low self-esteem who are afraid of taking risks. You see, if you learn something new, you are required to make mistakes in order to fully understand what you have learned
