The Right Honorable John Key, Prime Minister of New Zealand, has kindly taken the time to record a video for TDTYTIS.
He talks about financial lessons he wishes he had learned, especially regarding debt, which is a very relevant subject to everyone in the world today. Prior to entering politics, Mr. Key was the global head of foreign exchange for Merrill Lynch.
Believe it or not, the people we surround ourselves with have a huge effect on our own development as people. Everyone knows stories of those who got into the “wrong crowd”, and become worse off for it. The same happens with people who can motivate and inspire us

Ramit Sethi, the author of the blog “I Will Teach You To Be Rich” did an article explaining how he won more than $100,000 in scholarships to go to university.

At a recent event, Derek spoke on how he plastered his walls with brown paper and for three months he read everything he could to try and spot patterns in the future. He brainstormed on the paper, and at the end of it he had a map of how he could create a game-changing technology
