38 Letters Written by Rockefeller to His Son

In an era when information is relatively scarce, it is possible to summarize such modern, scientific and efficient entrepreneurial thinking. It's really hard to imagine how he did it. Practical thinking, experiencing deep inner thoughts.

This sentence is a Chinese proverb, but it is indeed a portrayal of many families. As an oil tycoon, Rockefeller did not neglect the education of his children. This collection of letters shows a father's earnest expectations and earnest teachings for his son. There is a passage in the letter that I prefer: "To be a good hunter on the hunting ground for profit, you need to be diligent in thinking, careful in doing things, able to see all possible dangers and opportunities in things, and at the same time, like a chess player, you must study all the various strategies that may endanger your dominance." He is teaching his son to have a broad picture, but not to ignore the details.

A book suitable for people of all ages to read and benefit for a lifetime

In the tone of a father and successful person, he sincerely intersperses his personal experiences with some short stories to summarize some life philosophies to teach his children. He uses a kind language to tell complex issues so that we can understand what we need on the road to success. Every word reveals a father's care for his children.

What comes to your mind when you think of Rockefeller? American industrialist? Billionaire? Oil king? One of the top ten families in the world? … Frankly speaking, before reading this book, regarding his knowledge, these were the key terms in my mind. At first, I read this popular economics book for the purpose of investment enlightenment. However, after reading it and thinking about it carefully, I suddenly realized that perhaps this book should be classified as "parent-child pedagogy". Attentive readers should be like me and pay attention to the 38th letter from Old John to Little John. Old John was already 68 years old and Little John was also in his prime at 33 years old. Surprised? To borrow a phrase we often say, "People who are better than you work harder than you." This is indeed the case in this situation. In this book, I envy little John very much, and his father's stable mood, positive encouragement, unstinting affirmation, healthy communication, leading by example through words and deeds, and the confidence to resist risks... Is this an economics book? Yes, but it is more of a parent-child education guide book. Was Rockefeller a successful investor? Yes, but he is an even better father. Two sentences that I particularly like in this book: 1. Diligence produces nobles - Rockefeller's motto; 2. All knowledge will be transformed into a preconceived concept, resulting in a conservative mentality, thinking "I understand, I understand, this is how society is originally". After having the concept of "understanding", he will lack the interest to explore. Losing interest means losing the motivation to move forward. In the end, all he will be left with is boredom. This is the reason why you can succeed because you don't understand.

This is a book worth reading carefully.

This book is suitable for people who work. One thing I understand is that I will benefit from it. Do it now. Don't complain, have greedy ambitions, get along with others, and treat others well. Treating others well is actually your own benefit, but it is not an excuse to escape. If you want to achieve something, do it and work hard to improve yourself. Remember that you are the most important beneficiary.

The whole book mainly talks about how a businessman must have goals and ambitions, as well as the perseverance to fight for them. You must have a good attitude to accept any challenges and difficulties. Make good connections. Be good at competition and cooperation and profit from it. Learn to strategize, plan the big direction, and give everything you have to the goal. To make every penny count, you must learn to invest. Be good at motivating and trusting your employees, and use everyone's talents to create greater profits. We must have a sense of social and public responsibility, be a patriotic rich man, and focus on maximizing national interests.

I have read Buffett's letters to his children, Fu Lei's family letters, and Rockefeller. People who are successful in their careers are really conscientious towards their families, and they are so approachable and loving when it comes to disciplining their children.

Laziness is just an excuse for not working hard,

Teach by words and deeds, explain the profound things in a simple way. The way to conduct oneself in the world, the speeches on how to prosper a country and establish a career, the sincere teachings, and the true love of a father are beyond words. The examples cited by the author are to the point and full of philosophical implications. He is worthy of being a management master in building a business empire.

The content of this book is thought-provoking and allows us to see the author's unique life. Although we cannot reach that level, the author's spirit and perseverance of perseverance, hard work, and never giving up until the goal is achieved are worth learning from.

This book has given me more strength. I no longer grieve over short-term setbacks and troughs in life. Faith and courage keep me strong. I believe that my delayed success will never be absent from those who work hard.

It can be described as chicken soup for the soul that parents give to their children. It can also be said that these 38 letters summarize his life experience as a capitalist. It tells how he went from having nothing to finally becoming a business wizard. This great father handed over his own growth experience and ability to deal with things to his children. The content in the book contains many very positive thoughts and is very suitable for giving to growing children for them to read and think about.

Optimistic people can see opportunities in suffering, while pessimistic people can only see suffering in opportunities. Even when you are in jail, you must dominate yourself with optimism.

"The starting point does not determine the end point", this is the first advice in this book. The author Rockefeller was the first billionaire in the 19th century and was known as the "Oil King", and his life was by no means smooth from the beginning. The author uses vivid and simple language to tell many valuable life philosophies, such as "Do it now, be determined to compete, the most terrifying thing is mental bankruptcy, be loyal to yourself", etc. This book is a spiritual treasure book that helps readers rebuild their perseverance and inner strength.

A very good book. A father unreservedly passes on his life experience and wisdom to his children. It contains real emotions such as care, blessings, worries, etc. It deeply moved me and benefited me a lot.

Very good spiritual food, it gave me an unprecedented spiritual strength and brought me a new value in life! Thanks for encountering this book!

The three views are very correct and you can learn a lot of ways to deal with things.

If it is not linked to the interests of others, then others have no obligation to treat you well.

As the saying goes, we meet each other everywhere in life; when we meet here, we meet ourselves, and we must always learn to reconcile with ourselves.

It can make people calm down and think about their present and future. Let's work together for a better tomorrow.

Learning from the experiences of successful people is really beneficial and worth reading again and again.

It can be used as my Bible. I couldn't understand it before, but now I can understand it. The truth

If this book was really written by Rockefeller, it would be great to be able to write such a book in that era.

This is a book that must be read in life

Just like martial arts secrets, if you practice hard, you will gain something.

Needless to say, this is a book full of wisdom.
