The 38 Letters from J.D. Rockefeller to His Son

People who are privileged but have no power are a waste, while those who are educated but uninfluenced are a pile of worthless rubbish.

God created feet for us to let us walk on our own.

In most cases, the status of parents will determine the starting point of their child's life.

The only truth is that as long as you work hard enough, you will succeed. I firmly believe that our destiny is determined by our actions, not by our origins.

When you and your sisters were very young, I deliberately concealed the fact that I was well off. I instilled many values ​​such as frugality and personal struggle in you because I know that the quickest way to harm someone is to give them money. It can make people corrupt, depraved, arrogant, and cause them to lose their source of happiness. I cannot bury my beloved children with wealth, and foolishly make you all into one that is incompetent and only depends on the success of their parents.

I believe that there is not one person in the world that does not long for a happy and luxurious life, yet not many people truly understand where it comes from. In my opinion, it does not come from wealthy blood, nor from a luxurious lifestyle, but from a luxurious character – the spirit of self-reliance.

Factors such as ability, attitude, character, ambition, method, experience, and luck play an extremely important role in life and the business world.

Luck depends on planning. Everyone is a designer and architect of his own destiny.

When waiting for luck, you must know how to guide luck; to design luck is to design life.

“Luck is the remnant of design.”

My credo is: I do not live by God-given luck, but I do-so by planning luck.

John, to be a good hunter in a profitable hunting ground, you need to think hard, be careful, be able to see all possible dangers and opportunities in things, as well as study all kinds of strategies that could endanger your dominance like a chess player.

Visionary businessmen are always good at finding opportunities in every disaster,

Anything can happen in this world, but nothing can happen without doing anything (reap without sowing).

Those who blindly follow the crowd and rules, I view them with disdain.

The first condition is to know your goals, such as what you want to do, or even what kind of person you want to become; the second condition is knowing what resources you have, such as status, money, interpersonal relationships, and even abilities.

designing luck is designing life. So, while you wait for luck, you need to know how to guide your luck.

The greatest reward for our hard work is not what we get, but what we will become.

If you view work as a pleasure, life is heaven; if you view work as a duty, life is hell.

Losing work means losing happiness.

I think that work is a privilege, as it brings more than just sustaining life.

But people must love work before it can return the biggest favours and achieve the greatest results.

When I first entered the business world, I often heard that a person who wants to climb to the peak needs to make a lot of sacrifices. However, as the years passed, I began to understand that many people who were climbing to the peak were not “paying the price.” They work hard because they really like work.

Sincerely love the work you do; you will naturally succeed.

Loving work is a belief.

But some people are obviously not smart enough. They have ambitions but are too picky about their work. They are always looking for a “perfect” employer or job.

Income is just a by-product of your work. Doing what you should do, accomplishing what you should do well, the ideal salary will come. And more importantly, the highest reward for our hard work is not what we get, but what we will become.

The work bench is a type of attitude; it determines whether we are happy or not.

Heaven and hell are created by ourselves.

if you view work as a pleasure, life is heaven; if you view work as a duty, life is hell. Reflect on your work attitude, it will make everyone happy.

Opportunity comes from opportunity.

Bad habits can dictate us and determine success or failure. It is easy to develop, but it is difficult to serve.

Successfully putting a good idea into practice is more valuable than thinking about a thousand good ideas at home.

“Education covers many aspects, but it does not teach you anything.”

If you look at the ordinary people, you will find that they are all living passively, they always say much more than they do, or even do nothing. But almost all of them are good at finding excuses, they will find various excuse to procrastinate until they finally prove that this matter should not be, unable to or it is too late to be done.

knowledge without experience is useless,

because of one’s inner fear – the fear of the unknown, many people resist change.

Many people make themselves into a passive person. They want to wait until all conditions are perfect, that is, when the time is right, before taking action.

Those passive people have a mediocre life, precisely because they must wait for everything to be 100% profitable and perfectly safe before doing something.

Sentences such as “tomorrow”, “next week”, and “future” have the same meaning as “can never be done”.

I haven’t heard anyone being praised for not disturbing others, not acting, or having to wait for someone else to order things.

To have the habit of doing now, the most important thing is to have a proactive spirit, get rid of the habit of being distracted, be determined to be a person of initiatives, be courageous in doing things, don’t wait until everything is ready, there will never be absolute perfection. Cultivating the habit of action does not require special wisdom or special skills. You only need to work hard to let good habits bloom in life.

Be determined to compete

Even if we lose, the only thing we should do is to lose gloriously

Crutches cannot replace strong and powerful feet; we have to stand on our own feet.

“Mr. Rockefeller, you are a brilliant predator who is not soft-hearted. Losing to those bad guys would have made me very sad, because it was like a robbery, but playing with people like you, whether I win or lose, will make me happy.” At that time, I could not tell whether Mr. Benson was complimenting me or praising me. I told him: “Mr. Benson, if you can replace the predator with the conqueror, I think I will gladly accept it.”

Any deceptive and unethical behavior cannot be sustained and cannot be a reliable corporate strategy.

your feet are not strong enough to support you, you should not give up and admit defeat, but should work hard to hone, strengthen and develop your feet and let them exert their power.

Borrowing money is not a bad thing, it won’t make you bankrupt, as long as you don’t treat it like a life buoy when you only use it in times of crisis, but instead treat it as a powerful tool, you can use it to create opportunities.

Among the wealthy people I know or acquainted, there are very few people who rely on accumulating small bits of wealth day by day to eventually become who they are now. More people make money by borrowing money.

Buying and selling a dollar profit each is far less profitable than buying and selling a hundred dollars.

Whether it is to win wealth or to win in life, what good people think about in competition is not what they will lose, but what they should do to become a winner.

Borrowing money is to create good luck. If I can borrow enough cash to mortgage a piece of land and allow myself to monopolize a larger area, then I will seize this opportunity without hesitation.

life is a constant mortgage, we mortgage our youth for the future, and mortgage our lives for happiness. Because if you dare not approach the bottom line, you lose. Wouldn’t it be worthwhile to take the risk to attain success?

God is shown in the details.

To be successful you need to remember two things: one is tactics and the other is strategy.

The most horrifying thing is Spiritual Bankruptcy

Failure is a good thing as long as it does not become a habit.

Once avoiding failure becomes your motivation to do things, you have embarked on a path of laziness and powerlessness.

(An optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity, a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity.)

If you stay still, you will regress, but to move forward you must be willing to make decisions and take risks.

Everyone hates failure. However, once avoiding failure becomes your motivation for doing things, you embark on a path of laziness and powerlessness.

Son, opportunity is a scarce thing. People are prosperous and rich because of opportunity.

Evading risk is almost a guarantee of bankruptcy;

Failure is the beginning of the journey to a higher position.

I am a clever “loser”. I know to learn from failures, draw success factors from my experience thru failure, and use innovative methods that I have never thought of before to start a new career. So, I want to say that failure is a good thing as long as it does not become a habit.

My motto is: People always have to maintain their energy, remain strong and persistent, no matter what failures and setbacks they encounter, this is the only thing I can do.

Optimistic people will see opportunity in suffering, and pessimistic people will see suffering in opportunity. Son, remember the formula of success that I believe in:

Dream + Failure + Challenge = Success

Mr. Thomas Edison, before illuminating Mr. Morgan's office with electric lights, conducted a total of more than 10,000 experiments. To him, failure is a test field for success.

Only giving up will result in failure

There is nothing in the world that can replace perseverance.

Unless you give up, you will not be beaten.

Too many people overestimate what they lack, but underestimate what they have. (Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.)

After every failed campaign Lincoln would motivate himself: “This is just a slip up, not as if I’m dead and unable to get up.” These words held the power to overcome difficulties, and they were also the weapon that led Lincoln to fame.

Lincoln’s life wrote a great truth: unless you give up, you will not be defeated.

Too many people overestimate what they lack, but underestimate what they have, and lose the chance to become a winner.

I hate it when my business fails and lose money, but what really concerns me is that I am afraid that in future business, I will be too cautious and become a coward. If that is the case, then my loss will be even greater.

“You can't sharpen your razor on a velvet.”

As we continue to reach the peak, we must remember: each step of the ladder allows us enough time to step on, and then set foot to a higher level, it is not for us to rest.

like a boxer said, you must fight another round to win.

The most practical wisdom for success has long been written in the “Bible”,

Confidence produces the attitude of believing in “I can do it”, and the attitude of believing in “I can do it” can produce the abilities, skills, and energy. Whenever you believe that “I can do it”, you will naturally come up with a “how to solve” method, and success is born once you successfully solve the problem.

Whenever you believe that “I can do it”, you will naturally come up with a “how to solve” method, and success is born once you successfully solve the problem.

Victory is a habit, and failure is also a habit.

Believing that there will be great results is the driving force behind all great careers, books, scripts, and new scientific knowledge.

Believing in success is a basic and absolutely necessary element possessed by successful people.

When you disagree or have doubts in your mind, you will come up with various reasons to support your “disbelief”.

The level of confidence determines the level of achievement.

When I face a difficult situation, I think of “I will win” instead of “I might lose”. When I compete with people, I think of “I am as good as them”, not “I can't compare with them.” When opportunities arise, I think of “I can do it” instead of “I can't do it.”

I remind myself regularly: You are better than you think.

Successful people are just ordinary people who believe in themselves and affirm what they do. Never, never sell yourself cheaply.

Everyone is a product of his thoughts, thinking about small goals, will lead to small results. Thinking of great goals will win great success.

I am the focus of my life; I decide what suits me.

Destiny must be created by oneself, and what you really want must be obtained by every means.

A gentleman will never argue with the ignorant,

There is no one who is not greedy. If you have an olive, you will want to have an entire olive tree.

When I was in business school, one of my teachers said a phrase that I will never forget. It can be said to have changed my destiny. He said: “There is nothing wrong with being greedy. I think being greedy is a good thing. Everyone can be greedy. From the beginning of greed, there will be hope!”

If you want to create wealth and achievements, and an extraordinary life, then I feel that you can forget about “greed is a good thing”, greed is necessary!

The subtext of greed is that, I want more, and monopolize it! Who has never made this cry in my heart?

Politicians will say, I want to be in power, and I want to be the governor before being the president. Businesspeople will say, I want to make money, I want to make more money. Parents will say that I hope my son can achieve something and live a prosperous and happy life forever. And so on.

Simplicity is a quality of integrity and selflessness in the soul. It is different and more noble than sincerity.

Every night before going to bed, I advised myself: I want to become the largest oil refiner in Cleveland, let the flowing oil creek turn into bundles of banknotes, I want to align every thought to profit motives and help myself become the king of oil.

If you can achieve success with noble behaviour, you will contribute far more to mankind than what can be done in poverty.

eagerness is my nature that never wears off,

The people who can get ahead in this world are those who know how to find their ideal environment. If they cannot do it, they will create it themselves.

Arrogance usually leads to downfall.

like victory, but I do not like unscrupulous pursuit of victory. A victory at any cost is not a victory.

Even if you win a victory, you may lose the chance to win again.

And compliance does not mean that we must lower our determination to pursue victory, but it means using an ethical way to win a clear victory, and it also means that under such restrictions, we must strive to pursue victory fairly and ruthlessly.

you give someone a free lunch for a certain period, he/she will develop the habit of getting something for nothing. Do not forget, everyone has a need to be “taken care of” in the womb.

I always encourage you to help others, but as I always tell you, if you give a person a fish, you can only support him for one day, but if you teach him the skill of fishing, it is equivalent to supporting him for life.

In my opinion, donating money is a wrong kind of help. It will make a person lose the motivation to be thrifty and diligent, and become lazy, unpredictable, and unaccountable. More importantly, when you give alms to a person, you deny his dignity, and if you deny his dignity, you take away his destiny, which is extremely immoral in my opinion.

Once any person develops a habit, whether it is good or bad, the habit will always possess him.

Wealth and happiness can only be obtained by hard work.

there is “no free lunch in the world”. If people know that getting ahead is at the cost of hard work, most people will achieve something and at the same time will make the world a better place. And those who eat lunch for nothing will sooner or later pay the price.

knowledge is originally empty, and unless knowledge is put into action, nothing will happen.

Moreover, the knowledge in the textbooks is almost all compiled by writers with theoretical knowledge, hence, it is difficult to use it to help you solve practical problems.

To endure hardship deliberately is one of my beliefs of success.

To survive and create achievements in this world, you must rely on manpower, that is, the power of others, but you must start from doing small things to understand the mood of being a subordinate.

If a pig is well praised, it can climb the tree.

“Let me wait before talking” is the motto I always follow in business.

Wealth is the by-product of Diligence Our wealth is a reward for our hard work.

One is “If you are not a winner, you are defying yourself”, and the other is “Diligence brings Nobility”. These two sentences are my true-life motto.

Opportunities are only reserved for hardworking people!

Excuses are the source of failure.

The more successful a person is, the less he will make excuses.

In my opinion, “excuses” is a mental illness, and people with this serious illness are all losers without exception.

the more successful a person is, the less excuses he will find.

Once a loser finds a “good” excuse, he will hold on to it, and then always use this excuse to explain to himself and others: why he can no longer do it, why he cannot succeed. At first, he still knows how much his excuse are lies, but after repeated usage, he will become more and more convinced that it is completely true, and believe that this excuse was the real reason for his failure,

There is an old saying that says it well: “I have been annoyed by my broken shoes until I met a man who has no feet.”

Interest and enthusiasm are important factors that determine success or failure.

The outcome of things is often proportional to our enthusiasm.

The way of thinking that guides us to use our intelligence is far more important than the level of our intelligence.

Many people believe the so-called “knowledge is power”. In my opinion, this sentence is only half right.

Only when knowledge is applied constructively, then will it show its power.

My mentality is more important than my intelligence; He has a strong desire to establish a “I will win” attitude;

I never succumb to luck; I believe in the law of cause and effect.

If you look at those people with “bad luck”, you will find that there are clear reasons behind them.

The seeds of success is in your hands

I am my biggest capital.

Common sense is more important than money.

I have no rights to be poor

Let money be my slave, but do not let me be a slave of money.

“Mr. Rockefeller, I think I have a responsibility to discuss with you a question – money is the root of all evil. This is said in the Bible.”

You forgot, there is a word in front of that sentence – Love, ‘loving money is the root of all evil’.”

“If you have money, you can benefit your family and friends, give them a happy and comfortable life, and even benefitting the society, save the helpless poor people, then money will become the source of happiness.”

If a person says, “I don't want money”, it is equivalent to saying: “I don't want to serve my family, friends, and compatriots.”

I made my pledge: I will not become poor, I will make money, and I will use wealth to change the destiny of my family!

Wealth is directly proportional to goal.

One is either planning to succeed or planning to fail.

For me, second place is no different from last place.

A person must have goals or ambitions to live, otherwise, he is like a ship without a rudder, drifting forever, and will only reach the beach of disappointment, failure, and frustration.

But I think the goal must be great, because if you want to be successful, there must be stimulation.

Losing the excitement means that there is no strong force to push you forward. I often remind myself to not make any small plans, because it cannot inspire the soul.

The one sentence I most often motivates myself with is: For me, second place is no different from last place.

The higher the risk, the greater the return.

a life motto of a gambler: Only by curiosity can you discover opportunities, and by taking risks can you make use of them.

Insult is a kind of motivator

I know that any slight insult can hurt dignity. However, dignity is not given by God, nor is it given by others. It is your own creation. Dignity is a spiritual product that you enjoy yourself.

If you do not cling to your dignity, no one can hurt you.

your relationship with yourself is the beginning of all relationships. When you believe in yourself and are in harmony with yourself, you are your most faithful partner.

The more you think you can do it, the smarter you will get.

When it comes to money, never mention the amount first.

Negotiation is even more so, it is not the business that is at war with you, but the people! Therefore, a true understanding of yourself and your opponents are the prerequisites for ensuring that you win a big victory in a match. You need to know that preparation is part of the psychology of the game, and you must know yourself and the enemy.

The best way to achieve a good deal is to emphasize its value. And many people make the mistake of emphasizing price instead of value.

John, in your negotiations with Mr. Morgan, when it comes to money, you must never mention the amount first, but provide him with precious value and emphasize what he can buy from you.

The size of our thoughts determines the size of our achievements.

Attitude is our best friend and also our worst enemy.

The size of our thoughts determines the size of our achievements.

The most important of all is that we must value ourselves, overcome the greatest weakness of mankind – self-deprecation, and never sell ourselves cheaply.

For thousands of years, many philosophers have advised us: Know yourself. However, most people interpret it as just knowing the negative side of themselves.

It is good to recognize your own shortcomings and you can use this to seek improvement. However, if we only recognize the negative side of ourselves, we will fall into chaos and make ourselves worthless.

We will all be treated like “what we think we are”.

If a person feels that he is inferior to others, he will show “true” actions that are inferior to others;

Those who think they are “not very important” will eventually become “not very important” people.

On the other hand, those who believe that they have the “capability of taking heavy responsibilities” will really become a “very important” person. Therefore, if you want to be an important person, you must first make yourself believe that “I am really important”, and you have to truly feel that way before others will follow.

how you think will determine how you act, and how you act will determine how others think about you.

In order to be respected by others, you must first feel that you are indeed worthy of respect, and the more you respect yourself, the more others will respect you.

person's self-esteem is the core of his personality. What kind of person you think you are, will make you become that person.

Attitude is the materialization of each of our thoughts and spiritual factors, and it determines our choices and actions. In this sense, attitude is our best friend and also our worst enemy.

we cannot control the direction of the wind, but we can adjust the sail – in other words, choosing our attitude.

Once you choose to value your own attitude, those cowardly thoughts that degrade yourself, demoralize your will, corrodes your confidence and encourages you to give up on yourself such as “I am a useless person, I am a nobody, I have no say, I am worthless”, and so on, will disappear and be replaced by the resurrection of the mind, proactive changes in thoughts and actions, increase of confidence, and usage of the “I can! And I will!” mentality to face everything.

Ask yourself: “What are my strengths?” When analysing your strengths, you cannot be too kind.

Always remember this question: “Will important people do this?” This will gradually make you more successful.

improving your thinking ability will help you improve the standards of various actions and makes them more effective.

When “we” replaces “me”, the power it gives off will be incalculable. The reason why I can achieve great success is because I manage everyone first, every single one of them.

Almost everyone knows that whether you can build a happy life and achieve success is related to how you use your time. However, for many people, time is their enemy. They kill it and obliterate it; but if anyone steals their time, they will be furious, because time is money after all, and the most important time is life. Unfortunately, they just do not know how to use their time.

To make a perfect plan, you must first confirm what you want; in addition, every plan must have measures and you have to monitor the results. A plan that can discuss actions and produce results is a valuable plan.

There are two kinds of people in the world that will never be rich: First, people who like to live a glamorous life,

The second type of people, are those who like to save money, and store it in the bank,

We do not look for ways to spend money but look for ways to cultivate and manage various investments, because we know that wealth can be used to produce more money.

Impulse is always our worst enemy.

Only when you can endure what people cannot, can you then do what people cannot do.

I know that being submissive is the enemy of thought and the jailer of freedom. However, for an ambitious person, maintaining the necessary obedience and patience is precisely a successful strategy that has been tried and tested.

Remember, you must have patience in your daily life, it will bring you happiness, opportunities, and success.

If you act like a winner, you are likely to do more of what a winner should do, thereby changing your “luck”.

John, think about the lucky guys you know. You can almost be sure that they are not gentle, courteous, and frugal people, and can almost be certain that they always exude the brilliance of self-confidence and the attitude of everything, and even appear very bold.

“The god of luck favours the brave”, is a motto that I have respected throughout my life.

Victory does not necessarily belong to the strong, people who are highly vigilant, energetic, brave, and fearless will also win.

I have never seen people who do not appreciate confident and decisive people. Everyone is a supporter of confident and decisive people. We expect such people to be leaders. The reason why we are attracted to them is that they are very attractive.

Those who are timid and hesitant can hardly reap such benefits.

you feel that you are a winner, you will behave like a winner; if you behave like a winner, you are likely to do more of what winners would do, thereby changing your “luck”.

Believing that something can be done will provide us with creative solutions and bring out our various creative abilities.

“Impossible” is a term for failure. Once a person is dominated by the idea of ​​“it is impossible”, he can produce a series of ideas to prove that he is right.

Traditional ideas are the number one enemy of creative planning.

I do not ask myself: Can I do better? I know I can do it, so I ask: How can I do better?

The best way to find the perfect idea is to have many ideas.

To develop an attitude that I can do better, we need to cultivate, and to reflect every day: How can I do better today? How can I motivate employees today? What special services can I provide for the company? How can I make my work more efficient?

Our mentality determines our ability.

It is very stupid to refuse new challenges.

“The end is just the beginning.”

Every great successful person builds himself up with small successes. They celebrate the realization of their dreams with the ending and at the same time, mark the beginning of their new dreams.

When others do not regard you as an opponent, it is when you earn the most capital for future competition.

Impulse is better than prudence.

Gaining knowledge, maintaining control, and evaluating competition are what builds your confidence and will assist you in achieving the highest goal of victory.

Look at those who fail, and you will find that most people fail not because they make mistakes, but because they are not fully committed, and the same goes for companies.

Since I was young, I have refused to associate with two kinds of people. The first type of people is those who completely surrender and are contented with the status quo. They are convinced that they are inadequate and believe that creative achievements are only the patent that belongs to the lucky ones.

The second type of people are those who cannot complete challenges.

They will ridicule themselves: “We earn more than ordinary people, and our lives are better than ordinary people. Why are we still dissatisfied and want to take risks?” In fact, such people already have a sense of fear.

These two kinds of people share a common, yet toxic thought and it is highly infectious. This thought is also known as negativity.

I have always thought that a person’s personality and ambitions, current status and positions are related to who they associate themselves with.

When you have any difficulties, it is wise to find people of top quality to help you.

Every leader is an ambassador of hope and a teacher for his subordinates on the unavoidable thorny road ahead.

People can change their lives by changing their attitudes.

People who know the art of leadership will always ask themselves: What kind of attitude can help them achieve the results they really want? Is it an inspiring attitude? Or is it sympathetic? They will never choose a cold or hostile attitude.

As far as I am concerned, I never dominate, create conflicts, or put too much pressure on myself. Instead, I have the habit of giving subordinates trust, boosting their morales, and in turn, achieving the business achievements I expect.

In my opinion, purpose is the driving force behind our potential, and it is the power that governs everything.

Having a purpose is the basis of my leadership, and it is everything. I am accustomed to establishing goals before doing anything, and every day I have to set goals, countless goals, such as the purpose of talking with partners, the purpose of convening meetings, the purpose of making plans, and so on. Before doing something, I will also review the purpose that I have set.

You need to unreservedly state your purpose to your subordinates – your personal intentions, motives and inner strategic plans. For everyone who needs to understand what I want to achieve, I will explain my purpose to them. In every meeting, report or at the beginning of the matter, I will first express my motivation, thoughts, and expectations.

Outstanding leaders are good at using two invisible forces: trust and respect. When you honestly stated your purpose, you also deliver this message: “Because I have enough trust in you, I am willing to confess to you.”

The habit of blaming is like a swamp. Once you stumble and fall into it, you will lose your footing and direction, you will become unable to move and then fall into the predicament of hatred and frustration. There is only one result: losing the respect and support of your subordinates.

When something bad happens to us, I will stop and ask myself a question: “What are my responsibilities?”

However, analysing “what are my responsibilities” does not mean self-blame. Self-blame is one of the most insidious and cunning traps.

If I can treat every obstacle as an opportunity to understand myself, rather than care about what others have done to me, then I can find a way out of the face of adversities.

I will ask myself: In what ways should I be responsible for myself? I also asked myself: In what aspects are my subordinates responsible for?

The biggest challenge for leaders is how to create an environment in which people feel that being open is more comfortable than hiding the truth. Proactively invite others to state their thoughts and encourage them to speak out with words such as “Say a little more” or “I really want to hear your opinion.”

Contrary to what most people believe, in a dialogue, the listener is the one who has the power, not the declarant.

Listening attentively is less like a technique, it is more like an attitude.

Do not use your own likes and dislikes as the criteria for selecting talents.

Do what you like to do, and leave other things to the people who like to do it.

Find ways to use each person's strengths and induce them to pour enthusiasm into their work to achieve excellent productivity. This is my way to victory.

When I was studying, I remembered this sentence: “The most perfect person is the one who thoroughly devotes himself to the activity he is best at.” Later, after I reformed it, I changed it into a management philosophy: The person who is most able to create value is the one who is completely devoted to his favourite activities.

If you don’t devote time to the things you love, you will never feel self-satisfied; if you don’t have self-satisfaction, you will lose the passion for life; if you lose the passion for life , You will lose the motivation of life.

If you want to successfully use the enthusiasm of your subordinates, you must know that the responsibility of the leader is not to tap the weaknesses of the subordinates, but to pay attention to the strengths and talents of the subordinates, and let these advantages be fully utilized.

I do not have the habit of picking the most vulnerable characteristics of my subordinates, but I always look for the strongest part of them so that their talents can be fully utilized in the challenges and needs of the work.

My purpose is to find the value that I value in every subordinate, not the shortcomings that I do not like.

(Become a possibilitarian, always see them, for they're always there.)

Many people insist that the key to success lies in a solid strategic plan. I admit that this is very important, but it has fatal flaws. The plan emphasizes the standard of judgment and the pre-determined results.

What I provide my employees is warmth, equality, and tolerance. All these combined into one word is called respect.

The most basic aspect of human nature is the desire for generosity.

Employers are the guardians of employees, and my employees’ problems are also my problems. Keep asking your employees two questions: “What do you need?” and “How can I help?”

Salaries and bonuses are quite attractive, but for some people, money does not trigger their motivation to serve. My opinion, everyone aspires to be considered valuable, valued, and respected by others.

Therefore, I am like a detective who wants to find clues to solve the case, constantly searching for the talents that each employee is proud of. When I understand the talents they think they are most worthy of, I will give them a heavier responsibility.

Wealth is a form of responsibility The greater the wealth, means the greater the responsibility.

Only fools are pretentious because they are rich.

Enrich your mind

A great book is a great tree of wisdom, a great tree of mind.

Just like our physical appetite, we also have spiritual appetite. In fact, you often hear people say: Missing a lunch is a big deal, but you never heard: When was the last time you satisfied your soul’s hunger and thirst? Are we all spiritually rich? So, the question is obviously: how do we feed our souls – when do we find spiritual food? In fact, spiritual food is available everywhere, such as books. A great book is a great tree of wisdom, a great tree of mind, in which we will be reshaped. What we need is a book that can bring us the confidence and strength to act, can push our life to a new height, and guide us to do good. For example, “Pushing to the Front” by Orison Swett Marden.

Our responsibility now is to dedicate ourselves completely to the world and people around us, and to concentrate on our art of giving. I do not think there is anything greater than this.
