ant　to　play　it　safe　and　feel　secure。　So　passion　does　not　direct　them：　Fear　does。〃

〃So　is　that　why　they'll　take　a　job　with　low　par？〃　I　asked。

〃Yes；〃　said　rich　dad。　〃Some　people　say　I　exploit　people　because　I　don't　pay　as　much　as　the　sugar　plantation　or　the　government。　I　say　the　people　exploit　themselves。　It's　their　fear；　not　mine。〃
