do　business　internationally。　And　as　my　rich　dad　encouraged　me　to　do；　I　keep　seeking　the　emerging　nations。　Today　my　investment　pany　invests　in　South　America；　Asia；　Norway　and　Russia。　There　is　an　old　cliche　that　goes；　〃Job　is　an　acronym　for　'Just　Over　Broke。'〃　And　unfortunately；　I　would　say　that　the　saying　applies　to　millions　of　people。　Because　school　does　not　think　financial　intelligence　is　an　intelligence；　most　workers　〃live　within　their　means。〃　They　work　and　they　pay　the　bills。

There　is　another　horrible　management　theory　that　goes；　〃Workers　work　hard　enough　to　not　be　fired；　and　owners　pay　just　enough　so　that　workers　won't　quit。〃　And　if　you　look　at　the　pay　scales　of　most　panies；　again　I　would　say　there　is　a　degree　of　truth　in　that　statement。

In　the　movie　Jerry　Maguire；　starring　Tom　Cruise；　there　are　many　great　one　liners。　Probably　the　most　memorable　is　〃Show　me　the　money。〃　But　there　is　one　line　I　thought　most　truthful。　It　es　from　the　scene　where　Tom　Cruise　is　leaving　the　firm。　He　ha
