Well, Feifei, it’s a new year – and according to our Chinese friends it’s the Year of the Rat. New Year, new resolutions. I’ve decided to join the rat race! I want to safeguard those temporal pennies with the dedication of a child protecting his precious little piggy bank! That’s the general concept of the modern rat race. Or in the words of Tyler Durden, the protagonist in the masterpiece Fight Club, “We buy things we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t like.” But to really grasp the reasons we commit to a life of struggle over resources, we need to go a step deeper. For example, Nissan is a car. It’s an average, not-flashy, automobile that will help you go from point A to point B, faster. Porsche, on the other hand, is an art museum on wheels. It can also get you from point A to point B, but while driving around town in this beast on wheels you radiate a completely different vibe. You present yourself as a modern, high-paid individual with taste and ambition. Figuratively speaking, the amount of cash that each of them has in the bank – the person owning a Nissan and the person owning a Porsche – can be exactly the same. On the outside though, they appear quite different.LEARN MORE AND MORE AS YOU PLAY! Playing CASHFLOW will train you to become wealthy and change your life forever. As you play you’ll learn about yourself, your financial style and how it matches up against your opponents. Sharpen your financial literacy and hone the concepts of investing and money making. Are you typically as saver? Try out aggressive investing Are you typically a risk taker? Maybe try steady growth. The way you spend your money can say a lot about how you want to position yourself in modern competition. We’re convinced that the more we have the more we are: Prestige is measured by what is visible. Others are drawn to our possessions and the way we look because this way we appear as better-equipped to handle possible disturbances in the system. But this superficial approach makes us neglectful of other important areas. We leave our thoughts and skills unexplored.

It all came full circle when Thunderbird School of Global Management utilized Rich Dad Poor Dad, CASHFLOW Quadrant, and the CASHFLOW games in its curriculum for their entrepreneurship program. The very prestigious university is internationally recognized for its educational programs. Start playing around more and escape the Rat Race!

Metaphor referring to an endless, self-defeating, or pointless pursuit Artist's depiction of the modern day rat race But there’s no free time and it’s very, very competitive. You heard in the examples, we often hear the word ‘quit’ used with ‘rat race’. Quit the rat race. You might be able to work from home a few days each week, or switch to a remote position instead. Maybe there’s a way to cut down on the workload you currently have, or move into a new role with less responsibility. Yet, there are things you need to do that I believe are far more important. Things that can help on a deeper psychological level.

And so it happens, that directly after we come into being, these values and principles get embedded in our brains and later influence our decisions. We want better and more beautiful things. But most of all, we want others to see that we actually own these marvelous objects. Although the game can be played alone, **Fireboy and Watergirl: Forest Temple** is primarily a cooperative game that can be played with a friend on the same device. You can control both characters separately (with WASD and arrows keys) and use their unique abilities to overcome the challenges that await you. As Gabe Zichermann says in his excellent TED Talk, Changing the Game in Education, “Humans are doing machines. We do. That’s our nature…and it turns out there’s a core biological reason why we do, and it’s an amazing little neurotransmitter called dopamine.” There is a growing conviction among many of my friends in academic circles that the university today is no place for a scholar in science. A professor's life nowadays is a rat-race of busyness and activity, managing contracts and projects, guiding teams of assistants, bossing crews of technicians, making numerous trips, sitting on committees for government agencies, and engaging in other distractions necessary to keep the whole frenetic business from collapse.But you, Rob, have decided to join it. You do know that you don’t have to look like a rat to join the rat race? And you certainly don’t have to wear a racing vest. Create a picture of your ideal situation. With that in mind, you’ll have a far better chance of working out how to bring it to fruition. 2. Quit the Rat Race by Quitting Your Current Rat Race Jobs In many cases, it’s the marketplace, not school, that is filling the void of this need for humans to learn by doing. The marketplace does it through games—a method that much of the traditional education system ignores. The game takes place in the Forest Temple, where the two protagonists, Fireboy and Watergirl, embark on a quest to collect diamonds. You'll need to activate buttons, move platforms, and jump over lava and water obstacles to reach the exit.
