Kiyosaki states that the entire “system” is structured in such a way that most people follow a path considered “normal” and for which, if you choose it, you will be praised. Instead, if you stray from it, you will be criticized for your choices.<\/span><\/p>\n

For <\/span>Kiyosaki<\/b>, this path is characterized by people who:\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
