They　make　those　decisions　purely　on　how　much　money　they　have　and　how　old　the　patients　are。

　If　the　patient　is　old；　they　often　will　give　the　medical　care　to　someone　younger。

　The　older　poor　patient　gets　put　to　the　back　of　the　line。

　　So　just　as　the　rich　can　afford　better　education；　the　rich　will　be　able　to　keep　themselves　alive；　while　those　who　have　little　wealth　will　die。

So　I　wonder；　are　workers　looking　into　the　future　or　just　until　their　next　paycheck；　never　questioning　where　they　are　headed？

When　I　speak　to　adults　who　want　to　earn　more　money；　I　always　remend　the　same　thing。

　I　suggest　taking　a　long　view　of　their　life。

　Instead　of　simply　working　for　the　money　and　security；　which　I　admit　are　important；　I　suggest　they　take　a　second　job　that　will　teach　them　a　second　skill。

　　Often　I　remend　joining　a　network　marketing　pany；　also　called　multilevel　marketing；　if　they　want　to　learn　sales　skills。

　Some　of　these　panies　have　excellent　training　programs　that　help　people　get　over　their　fear　of　failure　and　rejection；　which　are　the　main　reasons　people　j　are　unsuccessful。

　Education　is　more　valuable　than　money；　in　the　long　run。

When　I　offer　this　suggestion；　I　often　hear　in　response；　〃Oh　that　is　too　much　hassle；〃　or　〃I　only　want　to　do　what　I　am　interested　in。

〃

To　the　statement　of　〃Its　too　much　of　a　hassle；〃　I　ask；　〃So　you　would　；　rather　work　all　your　life　giving　50　percent　of　what　you　earn　to　the　government〃　To　the　other　statement…〃I　only　do　what　I　am　interested　in〃…I　say；　〃Im　not　interested　in　going　to　the　gym；　but　I　go　because　I　want　to　feel　better　and　live　longer。

〃

Unfortunately；　there　is　some　truth　to　the　old　statement　〃You　cant　teach　an　old　dog　new　tricks。

〃　Unless　a　person　is　used　to　changing；　its　hard　to　change。

But　for　those　of　you　who　might　be　on　the　fence　when　it　es　to　the　idea　of　working　to　learn　something　new；　I　offer　this　word　of　encouragement：　Life　is　much　like　going　to　the　gym。

　The　most　painful　part　is　deciding　to　go。

　　Once　you　get　past　that；　its　easy。

　There　have　been　many　days　I　have　dreaded　going　to　the　gym；　but　once　I　am　there　and　in　motion；　it　is　a　pleasure。

　After　the　workout　is　over；　I　am　always　glad　I　talked　myself　into　going。

If　you　are　unwilling　to　work　to　learn　something　new　and　insist　on；　instead；　being　highly　specialized　within　your　field；　make　sure　the　pany　you　work　for　is　unionized。

　Labor　unions　are　designed　to　protect　specialists。

My　educated　dad；　after　falling　from　grace　with　the　governor；　became　the　head　of　the　teachers　union　in　Hawaii。

　He　told　me　that　it　was　the　hardest　job　he　ever　held。

　My　rich　dad；　on　the　other　hand；　spent　his　life　doing　his　best　to　keep　his　panies　from　being　unionized。

　He　was　successful。

　Although　the　unions　came　close；　rich　dad　was　always　able　to　fight　them　off。

Personally；　I　take　no　sides　because　I　can　see　the　need　for　and　the　benefits　of　both　sides。

　If　you　do　as　school　remends；　bee　highly　specialized；　then　seek　union　protection。

　For　example；　had　I　continued　on　with　my　flying　career；　I　would　have　sought　a　pany　that　had　a　strong　pilots　union。

　Why？　Because　my　life　would　be　dedicated　to　learn　a　skill　that　was　valuable　in　only　one　industry。

　If　I　were　pushed　out　of　that　industry；　my　lifes　skills　would　not　be　as　valuable　to　another　industry。
