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 fraternal house. I grew up rapidly.
