Rich dad looked over at me to see if I was still listening。 His eyes met mine。 We stared at each other; streams of munication going between us through our eyes。 Finally; I pulled away once I had absorbed his last message。 I knew he was right。 I was blaming him; and I did ask to learn。 I was fighting。

Rich dad continued。 〃Or if youre the kind of person who has no guts; you just give up every time life pushes you。 If youre that kind of person; youll live all your life playing it safe; doing the right things; saving yourself for some event that never happens。 Then; you die a boring old man。 Youll have lots of friends who really like you because you were such a nice hard…working guy。 You spent a life playing it safe; doing the right things。 But the truth is; you let life push you into submission。 Deep down you were terrified of taking risks。 You really wanted to win; but the fear of losing was greater than the excitement of winning。 Deep inside; you and only you will know you didnt go for it。  You chose to play it safe。〃

Our eyes met again。 For ten seconds; we looked at each other; only pulling away once the message was received。

〃Youve been pushing me around〃 I asked。

〃Some people might say that;〃 smiled rich dad。 〃I would say that I just gave you a taste of life。〃

〃What taste of life?〃 I asked; still angry; but now curious。 Even ready to learn。

〃You boys are the first people that have ever asked me to teach them how to make money。 I have more than 150 employees; and not one of them has asked me what I know about money。 They ask me for a job and a paycheck; but never to teach them about money。 So most will spend the best years of their lives working for money; not really understanding what it is they are working for。〃

I sat there listening intently。

〃So when Mike told me about you wanting to learn how to make money; I decided to design a course that was close to real life。 I could talk until I was blue in the face; but you wouldnt hear a thing。 So I decided to let life push you around a bit so you could hear me。 Thats why I only paid you 10 cents。〃

〃So what is the lesson I learned from working for only 10 cents an hour?〃 I asked。 〃That youre cheap and exploit your workers?〃

Rich dad rocked back and laughed heartily。 Finally; after his laughing stopped; he said; 〃Youd best change your point of view。 Stop blaming me; thinking Im the problem。 If you think Im the problem; then you have to change me。 If you realize that youre the problem; then you can change yourself; learn something and grow wiser。 Most people want everyone else in the world to change but themselves。 Let me tell you; its easier to change yourself than everyone else。〃

〃I dont understand;〃 I said。

〃Dont blame me for your problems;〃 rich dad said; growing impatient。

〃But you only pay me 10 cents。〃

〃So what are you learning?〃 rich dad asked; smiling。

〃That youre cheap;〃 I said with a sly grin。

〃See; you think Im the problem;〃 said rich dad。

〃But you are。〃

〃Well; keep that attitude and you learn nothing。 Keep the attitude

that Im the problem and what choices do you have?〃

〃Well; if you dont pay me more or show me more respect and teach me; Ill quit。〃

〃Well put;〃 rich dad said。 〃And thats exactly what most people do。 They quit and go looking for another job; better opportunity; and higher pay; actually thinking that a new job or more pay will solve the problem。 In most cases; it wont。〃

〃So what will solve the problem?〃 I asked。 〃Just take this measly 10 cents an hour and smile?〃

Rich dad smiled。 〃Thats what the other people do。 Just accept a paycheck knowing that they and their family will struggle financially。 But thats all they do; waiting for a raise thinking that more money will solve the problem。 Most just accept it; and some take a second job working harder; but again accepting a small paycheck。〃

I sat staring at the floor; beginning to understand the lesson rich dad was presenting。 I could sense it was a taste of life。 Finally; I looked up and repeated the question。 〃So what will solve the problem?〃

〃This;〃 he said tapping me gently on the head。 〃This stuff between your ears。〃

It was at that moment that rich dad shared the pivotal point of view that separated him from his employees and my poor dad…and led him to eventually bee one of the richest men in Hawaii while my highly educated; but poor; dad struggled financially all his life。 It was a singular point of view that made all the difference over a lifetime。

Rich dad said over and over; this point of view; which I call Lesson No。 1。

〃The poor and the middle class work for money。〃 〃The rich have money work for them。〃

On that bright Saturday morning; I was learning a pletely different point of view from what I had been taught by my poor dad。 At the age of 9; I grew aware that both dads wanted me to learn。 Both dads encouraged me to study。。。 but not the same things。

My highly educated dad remended that I do what he did。 〃Son; I want you to study hard; get good grades; so you can find a safe; secure job with a big pany。 And make sure it has excellent benefits。〃 My rich dad wanted me to learn how money works so I could make it work for me。 These lessons I would learn through life with his guidance; not because of a classroom。

My rich dad continued my first lesson; 〃Im glad you got angry about working for 10 cents an hour。 If you had not gotten angry and had gladly accepted it; I would have to tell you that I could not teach you。 You see; true learning takes energy; passion; a burning desire。 Anger is a big part of that formula; for passion is anger and love bined。 When it es to money; most people want to play it safe and feel secure。 So passion does not direct them: Fear does。〃

〃So is that why theyll take a job with low par?〃 I asked。

〃Yes;〃 said rich dad。 〃Some people say I exploit people because I dont pay as much as the sugar plantation or the government。 I say the people exploit themselves。 Its their fear; not mine。〃

〃But dont you feel you should pay them more?〃 I asked。

〃I dont have to。 And besides; more money will not solve the problem。 Just look at your dad。 He makes a lot of money; and he still cant pay his bills。 Most people; given more money; only get into more debt。〃

〃So thats why the 10 cents an hour;〃 I said; smiling。 〃Its a part of the lesson。〃

〃Thats right;〃 smiled rich dad。 〃You see; your dad went to school and got an excellent education; so he could get a high…paying job。 Which he did。 But he still has money problems because he never learned anything about money at school。 On top of that; he believes in working for money。〃
