By Mercy Shoaga
Babatunde Ganiyu has always loved reading books; he actually loves books that keep the reader on their toes with active action words. So, when he first picked up this book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’, he thought it was boring. But his love for books kept him on the pages of the book to see what was next. Sure, he was glad he continued reading the book and to his greatest satisfaction, the book turns out to be his most memorable book! And the simple but great reason is that the book taught him how to be financially literate, be aware of the need for investment, particularly so from an early age.
He shares on what makes the book his most memorable.
Why do you read books?
I will first mention ‘adventure’ as the reason for reading books; you want to know what is happening in places you have not been to. You also want to know how people get things done, and I know that books are one sure place to get these answers.
So, what is your most memorable book?
It feels quite pleasant answering to this question that my most memorable book is the one I read last; “Rich Dad Poor Dad” authored by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. When I started reading the book, I found it very boring until I discovered the wealth in the book.
Why is this book memorable to you?
The book is rich with information and secrets to great wealth through the application of the resources with you…decisions you make to be financially established. The book is great for teaching you how to become your own boss by making calculated investment. Again, I leaned from the book how to understand the reality of cashflow and what makes up liabilities to us.
How did you come across this book?
I found he book through reading. I read and keep searching for new books. And the reason is because I want to know what is happening in every area of life. I discovered a long time ago that books can take you far and deep into reasons for many things. That was how I found the book.
Particular lessons learned from this book?
I will say the major lesson for me was getting to understand how you can grow wealth and keep being at the top of good investment. I learned how to be a better manager of resources and end the ‘cat race.’
Another lesson for me is that you can help loved ones grow too by simply recommending the book to them. You will all be glad on that journey. I have actually given the book to a number of loved ones as a special gift.
