dom。　It　is　a　unique　investment　tool。　Yet；　every　time　I　mention　real　estate　as　a　vehicle；　I　often　hear；　〃I　don't　want　to　fix　toilets。〃　That's　what　Peter　Lynch　calls　〃noise。〃　That's　what　my　rich　dad　would　say　is　the　cynic　talking。　Someone　who　criticizes　and　does　not

analyze。　Someone　who　lets　their　doubts　and　fears　close　their　mind　instead　of　open　their　eyes。〃

So　when　someone　says；　〃I　don't　want　to　fix　toilets；〃　I　want　to　fire　back；　〃What　makes　you　think　I　want　to？〃　They're　saying　a　toilet　is　more　important　than　what　they　want。　I　talk　about　freedom　from　the　rat　race；　and　they　focus　on　toilets。　That　is　the　thought　pattern　that　keeps　most　people　poor。　They　criticize　instead　of　analyze。

〃　'I　don't　wants'　hold　the　key　to　your　success；〃　rich　dad　would　say。

That　is　what　rich　dad　meant　by　〃　'I　don't　wants'　hold　the　key　to　your　success。〃　Because　I　do　not　want　to　fix　toilets　either；　I　figured　out　how　to　buy　more　real　estate　and　expedite　my　getting　out　of　the　rat　race。　The　people　who　continue　to　say　〃I　don't　want　to　fix　toilets〃　often　deny　themselves　the　use　of　this　powerful　investment　vehicle。　Toilets　are　more　important　than　their　freedom。

In　the　stock　market；　I　often　hear　people　say
