Sometime on a certain occasion when retail investors have a chance to come together, they may like to ask which investment books are good for further reading. Usually, I would to like to mention "Rich Dad Poor Dad". Sometime I could tell from their body language is like what so great about his book.
I believe this book is widely read.
But, somehow I realised from this book may be quite differently from many others. I didn't see it as investing in Properties or becoming Business owners is the way for me to go. I began to strongly believe that there is a viable alternate path to reach financial goals by climbing investment ladder instead of corporate ladder. This investment ladder may greatly help to complement or supplement my limited earned income due to having stuck in the middle path.
I also know that deep in my heart, there is little or no chance for me to climb beyond certain level of the corporate ladder without having to join in the Rat Race to step over each other to find the way up to fewer and more difficult spots. But, climbing the investment ladder is so much different, the higher you climb, the more and better opportunities may start opening up.

Reading this won't make you great!
Yes. We can read widely but how the reading makes us great it is up to us do it in our own realized way. It can be too personal!
Investment ladder requires great initial capital. It also means, you are born with that initial capital or earn it through certain years of "rat race" sadly.
