dad.
Learning
meant
everything
to
my
rich
dad.
Educated
dad
thought
I
went
to
school
to
learn
to
be
a
ship’s
officer.
Rich
dad
knew
that
I
went
to
school
to
study
international
trade.
So
as
a
student，I
made
cargo
runs，navigating
large
freighters，oil
tankers
and
passenger
ships
to
the
Far
East
and
the
South
Pacific.
While
most
of
my
classmates，including
Mike，were
partying
at
their
fraternity
houses，I
was
studying
trade，people
and
cultures
in
Japan，Thailand，Singapore，Hong
Kong，Vietnam，Korea
and
the
Philippines.
I
also
was
partying，but
it
was
not
in
any
frat
house.
I
grew
up
rapidly.
There
is
an
old
cliché
that
goes，“Job
is
an
acronym
for
Just
over
Broke.”And
unfortunately，I
would
say
that
the
saying
applies
to
millions
of
people.
Because
school
does
not
think
financial
intelligence
is
intelligence，most
workers“live
within
their
means”.
They
work
and
they
pay
the
bills.
Instead
I
recommend
to
young
people
to
seek
work
for
what
they
will
learn，more
than
what
they
will
earn.
Look
down
the
road
at
what
skills
they
want
to
acquire
before
choosing
a
specific
profession
and
before
getting
trapped
in
the“Rat
Race”.
Once
people
are
trapped
in
the
lifelong
process
of
bill
paying，they
become
like
those
little
hamsters
running
around
in
those
little
metal
wheels.
Their
little
furry
legs
are
spinning
furiously，the
wheel
is
turning
furiously，but
come
tomorrow
morning，they’ll
still
be
in
the
same
cage:
great
job.
When
I
ask
the
classes
I
teach，“How
many
of
you
can
cook
a
better
hamburger
than
McDonald’s?”Almost
all
the
students
raise
their
hands.
I
then
ask，“So
if
most
of
you
can
cook
a
better
hamburger，how
come
McDonald’s
makes
more
money
than
