ling。　〃Most　people　remend　that；　and　it's　a　good　idea　for　most　people。　But　people　make　that　remendation　primarily　out　of　fear。〃

〃You　mean　my　dad　says　that　because　he's　afraid？〃

〃Yes；〃　said　rich　dad。　〃He's　terrified　that　you　won't　be　able　to　earn　money　and　won't　fit　into　society。　Don't　get　me　wrong。　He　loves　you　and　wants　the　best　for　you。　And　I　think　his　fear　is　justified。　An　education　and　a　job　are　important。　But　it　won't　handle　the　fear。　You　see；　that　same　fear　that　makes　him　get　up　in　the　morning　to　earn　a　few　bucks　is　the　fear　that　is　causing　him　to　be　so　fanatical　about　you　going　to　school。〃

〃So　what　do　you　remend？〃　I　asked。

〃I　want　to　teach　you　to　master　the　power　of　money。　Not　be　afraid　of　it。　And　they　don't　teach　that　in　school。　If　you　don't　learn　it；　you　bee　a　slave　to　money。〃

〃You　see；　we're　all　employees　ultimately。　We　just　work　at　different　levels；〃　said　rich　dad。　〃I　just　want　you　boys　to　have　a　chance　to　avoid　the　trap。　The　trap　caused　by　those　two　emotions；　fear　and　desire。　Use　them　in　your　favor；　not　against　you。　That's　what　I　want　to　teach　you。　I'm　not　interested　in　just　teaching　you　to　make
