Starting a business is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute. In mid air, the entrepreneur begins building a parachute and hopes it opens before hitting the ground.

Money is one form of power. But what is more powerful is financial education. Money comes and goes, but if you have the education about how money works, you gain power over it and can begin building wealth. The reason positive thinking alone does not work is because most people went to school and never learned how money works, so they spend their lives working for money.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Financial education empowers individuals to manage and grow their wealth effectively.
This quote emphasizes the importance of financial education over money itself. While money can be fleeting, the knowledge of how to manage and invest it provides individuals with the power to build wealth and secure their financial future. Kiyosaki argues that many people fail to achieve financial independence because they lack the necessary education about money management, leading them to work for money rather than making money work for them.

So many young decorators are trying to reinvent the wheel, and the results are sometimes very dubious. They're striving to do things that have never been done before. Quite often it is done without authority, without knowledge, and without a background in taste. They need to be educated about the past, and they need a richer vocabulary.
