Japanese 3 powers
The sword symbolizes the power of weapons. Great nations throughout history have invested in their military to gain an advantage over other nations. For instance, America has spent trillions of dollars on weapons. Because of this, it’s the most powerful military presence in the world. The power of the sword is based on fear. It’s the fear that if you don’t have weapons, you’ll be overcome by another power that does. People who rely on the power of the sword say, "It's a dog-eat-dog world." Personally, I own guns and love to collect them and shoot them. I have them if I need them, but the power of the sword was never really for me, even when I was in the military. I don’t believe true power and success comes from the power of the sword.
The jewel represents the power of money. I’ve observed there is some truth to the saying… "Remember the golden rule - He who has the gold makes the rules." History is filled with examples of the rich using the power of money to gain an advantage. However, money is a neutral medium. It can be used for good or for evil. There is power in money, but it’s not the ultimate source of power and success. This may surprise you since I’m known for having a lot of money. And my life is based on teaching people about money and how to be rich. But my calling has never been about just money and being rich alone. I do what I do because I want people to have true power and success, and it starts with the most important power…
The power of the mirror (self-knowledge)The mirror symbolizes the power of self-knowledge. And, according to Japanese legend... Self-knowledge is the most treasured of all three powers. It guides how all other powers are used, whether they are used for good or for evil. I believe this to be true. Let me share a story to help illustrate… In my senior year of high school, rich dad's son, Mike, and I were lined up in front of a small group of students made up primarily of our class leaders. Our guidance counselor turned to Mike and me and said… “The two of you will never amount to anything.” Those words hurt Mike and me deeply, but that counselor also did us a huge favor. Essentially the guidance counselor forced us to make a choice. Would we believe what she had to say about us? Or would we look in the mirror and believe what we knew to be true about ourselves? If you didn’t do well in school, or if you were not the most popular, or you're not good at math, or whatever other reasons, you don’t have to sell yourself short… None of it matters in the long run. Those so-called shortcomings only count if you think they matter. If you’re considering embarking on your own financial journey of success, I want to help you with everything you need right now to be successful.
