230 I CHAPTER TWENTy-ONE

Many times,I have had fathers and mothers come up to me and say, pointing
to their son or their daughter, "They read your book and insisted I bring
them to this event. Ifnot for them, I would not be here."
Remember this: Money by itself is not good or evil. Yet we all know
many people do evil things for money. Many people are afraid that ifyou
love money you will turn into a greedy person, which some people do.
Always remember that ifyou decide to become a rich person, you can also
choose to be a good person who is rich and generous, but not foolish with
money.
One ofthe blessings I had in my life was that my rich friends were not
snobs.They were nice to everyone. When we played baseball or football, we
were all one team, rich or poor. Today, I know things are different. Many
kids hang out in cliques, discriminating against lessfortunate or less"cool"
kids. Ifyou should decide to become a rich kid, I ask you to remember to be
kind and respectful to all kids and not to be a snob.

mistakes. Isn't that silly? The way we
