；〃　replied　rich　dad。　〃When　a　person　says；　‘I　need　to　find　a　job；'　it's　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　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　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　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　s
