  "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki highlights the contrasting financial philosophies of two father figures in the author’s life—his own educated but financially struggling biological father (Poor Dad) and his friend’s wealthy, entrepreneurial father (Rich Dad). The book emphasizes the importance of financial education, mindset, and taking risks to achieve financial independence. Through real-life anecdotes, Kiyosaki explains how Rich Dad teaches him to focus on building assets, avoiding liabilities, and seeking opportunities beyond traditional employment.

This would imply that for any given resources, we get more if we focus our resources on the most valuable 20 percent. As one example, business might get 80% of its profits from 20% of the customers, while personal productivity is similarly often the function of a minority of tasks generating the majority of results.
