My　educated　dad　always　said；　〃When　I　have　some　extra　money；　I'll　give　it。〃　The　problem　was；　there　was　never　any　extra。　So　he　worked　harder　to　draw　more　money　in　rather　than　focus　on　the　most　important　law　of　money：　〃Give　and　you　shall　receive。〃　Instead；　he　believed　in　〃Receive　and　then　you　give。〃

In　conclusion；　I　became　both　dads。 One　part　of　me　is　a　hard…core　capitalist　who　loves　the　game　of　money　making　money。　The　other　side　is　'：　a　socially　responsible　teacher　who　is　deeply　concerned　with　this　ever…widening　gap　between　the　haves　and　have　nots。　I　personally　hold　the　archaic　educational　system　primarily　responsible　for　this　growing　gap。

1。　Fear。

2。　Cynicism。

3。　Laziness。

4。　Bad　habits。

5。　Arrogance。

Reason　No。　1。　Overing　the　fear　of　losing　money。　I　have　never　met　anyone　who　really　likes　losing　money。　And　in　all　my　years；　I　have　never　met　a　rich　person　who　has　never　lost　money。　But　I　have　met　a　lot　of　poor　people　who　have　never　lost　a　dime。　。　。investing；　that　is。

The　fear　of　losing　money　is　real。　Everyone　has　it。　Even　the　rich。　But　it's　not　fear　that　is　the　problem。　It's　how　you　handle　fear。　It's　how　you　handle　losing。 It's　how　you　handle　failure　that　makes　the　difference　in　one's　life。　That　goes　for　anything　in　life；　not　just　money。　The　primar
