Must We Always Win?
SME Magazine Singapore|November 2019
Many years ago I attended a seminar by Robert Kiyosaki.
Must We Always Win?

Yes, he of that ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ fame. As I sat at the back of the hall listening to Kiyosaki insulting almost everyone, and branding anyone with inclinations unlike his as ‘losers’, I asked myself the question: must we always win?

In business, as in life, winning could be addictive. When things line up the way we want to, and each of our step seems to have divine help, it makes everyday a lot brighter. And for those of us who have been losing most of our lives; who have to climb our way to the top – winning could be both a destination and a reward.
