you　boys　will　find　out　as　you　work　and　study　with　me。　That　is　why　I　took　away　all　forms　of　pay。〃

〃Any　hints？〃　Mike　asked。　〃We're　kind　of　tired　of　working　hard；　especially　for　nothing。〃

〃Well；　the　first　step　is　telling　the　truth；〃　said　rich　dad。

〃We　haven't　been　lying。〃　I　said。

〃I　did　not　say　you　were　lying。　I　said　to　tell　the　truth；〃　rich　dad　came

back。

〃The　truth　about　what？〃　I　asked。

〃How　you're　feeling；〃　rich　dad　said。　〃You　don't　have　to　say　it　to　anyone　else。　Just　yourself。〃

〃That's　correct；〃　said　rich　dad。　〃Instead　of　telling　the　truth　about　how　they　feel；　they　react　to　their　feeling；　fail　to　think。　They　feel　the　fear；　they　go　to　work；　hoping　that　money　will　soothe　the　fear；　but　it　doesn't。　That　old　fear　haunts　them；　and　they　go　back　to　work；　hoping　again　that　money　will　calm　their　fears；　and　again　it　doesn't。　Fear　has　them　in　this　trap　of　working；　earning　money；　wor
