As　if　on　cue；　the　town　derelict　went　past　our　table；　stopping　by　the　large　rubbish　can　and　rummaging　around　in　it。　The　three　of　us　watched　him　with　great　interest；　when　before　we　probably　would　have　just　ignored　him。

Rich　dad　pulled　a　dollar　out　of　his　wallet　and　gestured　to　the　older　man。　Seeing　the　money；　the　derelict　came　over　immediately；　took　the　bill；　thanked　rich　dad　profusely　and　hurried　off　ecstatic　with　his　good　fortune。

〃Hes　not　much　different　from　most　of　my　employees；〃　said　rich　dad。　〃Ive　met　so　many　people　who　say；　‘Oh；　Im　not　interested　in　money。　Yet　theyll　work　at　a　job　for　eight　hours　a　day。　Thats　a　denial　of　truth。　If　they　werent　interested　in　money；　then　why　are　they　working？　That　kind　of　thinking　is　probably　more　psychotic　than　a　person　who　hoards　money。〃

As　I　sat　there　listening　to　my　rich　dad；　my　mind　was　flashing　back　to　the　countless　times　my　own　dad　said；　〃Im　not　interested　in　money。〃　He　said　those　words　often。　He　also　covered　himself　by　always　saying；　〃I　work　because　I　love　my　job。〃

〃So　what　do　we　do？〃　I　asked。　〃Not　work　for　money　until　all　traces　of　fear　and　greed　are　gone？〃

〃No；　that　would　be　a　waste　of　time；〃　said　rich　dad。　〃Emotions　are　what　make　us　human。　Make　us　real。　The　word　‘emotion　stands　for　energy　in　motion。　Be　truthful　about　your　emotions；　and　use　your　mind　and　emotions　in　your　favor；　not　against　yourself。〃

〃Whoa！〃　said　Mike。

〃Dont　worry　about　what　I　just　said。　It　will　make　more　sense　in　years　to　e。　just　be　an　observer；　not　a　reactor；　to　your　emotions。　Most　people　do　not　know　that　its　their　emotions　that　are　doing　the　thinking。　Your　emotions　are　your　emotions；　but　you　have　got　to　learn　to　do　your　own　thinking。〃

〃Can　you　give　me　an　example？〃　I　asked。

〃Sure；〃　replied　rich　dad。　〃When　a　person　says；　‘I　need　to　find　a　job；　its　most　likely　an　emotion　doing　the　thinking。　Fear　of　not　having　money　generates　that　thought。〃

〃But　people　do　need　money　if　they　have　bills　to　pay；〃　I　said。

〃Sure　they　do；〃　smiled　rich　dad。　〃All　Im　saying　is　that　its　fear　that　is　all　too　often　doing　the　thinking。〃

〃I　dont　understand；〃　said　Mike。

〃For　example；〃　said　rich　dad。　〃If　the　fear　of　not　having　enough　money　arises；　instead　of　immediately　running　out　to　get　a　job　so　they　can　earn　a　few　bucks　to　kill　the　fear；　they　instead　might　ask　themselves　this　question。　‘Will　a　job　be　the　best　solution　to　this　fear　over　the　long　run？　In　my　opinion；　the　answer　is　‘no。　Especially　when　you　look　over　a　persons　lifetime。　A　job　is　really　a　short…term　solution　to　a　long…term　problem。〃

〃But　my　dad　is　always　saying；　‘Stay　in　school；　get　good　grades；　so　you　can　find　a　safe；　secure　job。　I　spoke　out；　somewhat　confused。

〃Yes；　I　understand　he　says　that；〃　said　rich　dad；　smiling。　〃Most　people　remend　that；　and　its　a　good　idea　for　most　people。　But　people　make　that　remendation　primarily　out　of　fear。〃

〃You　mean　my　dad　says　that　because　hes　afraid？〃

〃Yes；〃　said　rich　dad。　〃Hes　terrified　that　you　wont　be　able　to　earn　money　and　wont　fit　into　society。　Dont　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　wont　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　dont　teach　that　in　school。　If　you　dont　learn　it；　you　bee　a　slave　to　money。〃

It　was　finally　making　sense。　He　did　want　us　to　widen　our　views。　To　。　see　what　Mrs。　Martin　could　not　see；　his　employees　could　not　see；　or　my　dad　for　that　matter。　He　used　examples　that　sounded　cruel　at　the　time；　but　Ive　never　forgotten　them。　My　vision　widened　that　day；　and　I　could　begin　to　see　the　trap　that　lay　ahead　for　most　people。

〃You　see；　were　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。　Thats　what　I　want　to　teach　you。　Im　not　interested　in　just　teaching　you　to　make　a　pile　of　money。　That　wont　handle　the　fear　or　desire。　If　you　dont　first　handle　fear　and　desire；　and　you　get　rich；　youll　only　be　a　high…paid　slave。〃

〃So　how　do　we　avoid　the　trap？〃　I　asked。

〃The　main　cause　of　poverty　or　financial　struggle　is　fear　and　ignorance；　not　the　economy　or　the　government　or　the　rich。　Its　selfinflicted　fear　and　ignorance　that　keeps　people　trapped。　So　you　boys　go　to　school　and　get　your　college　degrees。　Ill　teach　you　how　to　stay　out　of　the　trap。〃

The　pieces　of　the　puzzle　were　appearing。　My　highly　educated　dad　had　a　great　education　and　a　great　career。　But　school　never　told　him　how　to　handle　money　or　his　fears。　It　became　clear　that　I　could　learn　different　and　important　things　from　two　fathers。
