The Poem That Inspired the Author of Rich Dad Poor Dad

I am sharing Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken,” by the American poet, as a source of reflection. I realized that Robert Kiyosaki mentions it in Rich Dad Poor Dad as one of his favorites and reread it countless times to draw lessons about life.

Kiyosaki’s situation resembles the dilemma in the poem: he had to choose between two different paths, following the guidance of his poor dad or his rich dad. At age nine, he chose his rich dad’s path, and his father guided him until he was thirty-nine. At the time, the choice was painful, but it ultimately shaped the course of his life.
