Rockefeller: Thinking determines your pocket. Only by doing these points can you unlock the password of wealth
There is a particularly rich family in the world, called the Rockefeller family, and up to now, their family's wealth has been inherited to the sixth generation.
John D. Rockefeller is the first generation of the prosperous Rockefeller family. He is known as the "Oil King" and is the world's first billionaire.
Rockefeller was not only a successful businessman, but at the same time, he was also a father who taught his sons well. The wealth of the Rockefeller family was naturally inseparable from the teaching from generation to generation.
Rockefeller once wrote 38 letters to his son, and these letters contain a lot of life wisdom. Next, I will share some of Rockefeller's thinking with you, hoping to help you unlock the password of wealth.
- Don’t let your spirit go bankrupt ====================================
Rockefeller once said to his son: "If you declare spiritual bankruptcy, you lose everything. Failure is a learning experience, and you can make it a tombstone or a stepping stone."
Many people are afraid of failure, and even dare not face failure head-on. In the face of failure, if you first admit to it, then your failure will become destined.
Everyone's life will not be smooth sailing. Even if you are a genius, you will encounter all kinds of setbacks, such as failure in exams, missed opportunities, failure to start a business, and so on.
When faced with failures and challenges, some people move forward bravely, while others are sad, painful, helpless, and blame others, immersed in a vicious circle.
Whether it is success or failure, we must learn to keep ourselves in a good state of mind, not proud when we succeed, and not sluggish when we fail, so that we can become the biggest winners. This is a kind of tenacity that a person should exist.
- Only giving up will lead to failure ======================================
"When we encounter difficulties, we have to fight another round."
The road of life must no longer be a 100-meter sprint, but a lifelong marathon. Therefore, the key to success in life does not lie in the instant explosion, but in your persistence along the way.
Success and failure, poverty and wealth are the same, they are actually a contest of will.
A psychological study shows that those who have achieved achievements are more conscious, decisive, persistent, and self-controlled than ordinary people, and both successful and rich people have an indomitable perseverance.
It's too easy to give up, you can give up as long as you want, and giving up will result in a loss of the game. And to succeed, you need to persist for one more minute. If you don't give up, there will be hope.
Persistence is a habit, but so is giving up. Once you give up, you breed a lot of giving up later, allowing success that could have been achieved to fail.
In the end is to persevere or give up, it depends on your perseverance and determination.
- Learn to be patient, patience is a strategy ==============================================
"In this world, there are many people and things that we need to endure, but there are too many people and things that tempt us to be emotional."
Learn to be patient, and you can win your life.
There is an old saying: "If you can't bear little, you will make great plans." You should never underestimate the matter of patience. People who know how to endure are a kind of performance of keeping a low profile. Only those who are short-sighted are impatient.
Between success and failure, it often depends on who is more tolerant. When you face a difficult situation and don't know what to do, maybe with a short patience, you can turn the situation around. Because things are constantly changing and developing, it is a good policy to discover and wait for a turning point in patience.
Do what ordinary people can't do, and endure what others can't. Only one day can one day become a superior person.
- Understand strategic thinking ================================
Rockefeller said to his son: "The essence of strategy is to be flexible, long-term, multi-faceted, and big-picture. To be a great leader, we must make ourselves strategic thinkers."
Strategic thinking can often help us think beyond our limitations and think about problems from a higher level and a broader perspective, which prevents us from losing our sense of direction.
Those who do not plan for the world are not enough for a moment; those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough for one area. Strategic thinking can help us grasp the general direction of things and do the right things.
Therefore, in our daily life, each of us needs to consciously cultivate our strategic thinking.
