。前幾天我聽人說，只有不到5％的美國人年收入在10萬美元以上。

A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors, dentists and chiropractors struggle financially. All this time, I thought that when they graduated, the dollars would pour in. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, "They are one skill away from great wealth." What this phrase means is that most people need only to learn and master one more skill and their income would jump exponentially.
一位精通藥品貿易的商務顧問曾經告訴我，有許多醫生、牙醫和按摩師生活拮據。以前我總以為他們一畢業，財源便會滾滾而來。這位商務顧問告訴了我一句話：“離發大財，他們還差一項技能。”這句話的意思是說，大部分人還需多學習并掌握一項技能，他們的收入才能呈指數倍增長。

Job security meant everything to my educated 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.
對于有學識的爸爸來說，穩定的工作就是一切。而對于富爸爸來說，學習才是一切。有學識的爸爸以為我上學是為了做一名船長，而富爸爸明白我上學是為了學習國際貿易。因此，在做學生時，我跑過貨運、為前往遠東及南太平洋的大型貨輪、油輪和客輪導航。當我的大部分同班同學，包括邁克，在他們的聯誼會會堂舉辦晚會的時候，我正在日本、泰國、新加坡、中國香港、越南、韓國和菲律賓學習貿易、
