"But people do need money if they have bills to pay," I said
"Sure they do," smiled rich dad"All I'm saying is that it's fear that is all too often doing the thinking
"I don't 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 person's lifetimeA job is really a short-term replica chanel jewelry 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 recommend that, and it's a good idea for most peopleBut people make that recommendation 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 societyHe loves you and wants the best for youAnd I think his fear is justifiedAn education and a job are miu miu clutch importantBut it won't handle the fearYou 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 recommend?" I asked
"I want to teach you to master the power of moneyAnd they don't teach that in schoolIf you don't learn it, you become a slave to money
It was finally making senseHe did want us to widen our viewsMartin could not see, his employees could not see, or my dad for that matterHe used examples that sounded cruel at the time, but I've never forgotten themMy vision widened that day, new chanel bags and I could begin to see the trap that lay ahead for most people
"You see, we're all employees ultimatelyWe just work at different levels," said rich dad"I just want you boys to have a chance to avoid the trapThe trap caused by those two emotions, fear and desireUse them in your favor, not against youThat's what I want to teach youI'm not interested in just teaching you to make a pile of moneyThat won't handle the fear or desireIf you don't first handle fear and desire, and you get rich, you'll only be a high-paid slave
"So how do we avoid the trap?" I asked
"The main cause of poverty or tiffany co earrings financial struggle is fear and ignorance, not the economy or the government or the richIt's selfinflicted fear and ignorance that keeps people trappedSo you boys go to school and get your college degreesI'll teach you how to stay out of the trap
The pieces of the puzzle were appearingMy highly educated dad had a great education and a great careerBut school never told him how to handle money or his fearsIt became clear that I could learn different and important things from two fathers
"So you've been talking about the fear of not having moneyHow does the desire of money affect our thinking?" Mike tiffany bean earrings asked
