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。〃
