The 38 Letters from J.D. Rockefeller to his son: Perspectives, Ideology, and Wisdom (English Version) 2nd Edition

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

Action solves everything. Without action, nothing will happen.

Too much preparation but no action at all will only waste time eventually. In other words, everything must be done with limits. We cannot fall into the trap of continuous deliberation and planning but we must recognize the reality: no matter how detailed the plan is, we still cannot accurately predict the final outcome.

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

You need to know that no one in this world leads a smooth life; on the contrary, they live side by side with failure.

Starting points do not determine your end point Our destiny is determined by our actions, not by our origins.

Everyone is a designer and architect of his own destiny.

I feel that once rich children begin taking advantage of their family success, they will have little opportunity to learn and develop the skills needed for survival. People of poorer backgrounds will actively develop their creativity, abilities, while also cherishing and seizing various opportunities because they urgently need to rescue themselves.

Many people who lack action are naive and like to sit and wait for things to happen naturally. They naively think that others will care about their affairs. In actual fact, other than yourself, others will not be very interested in them. People are only interested in their own things.

There is never a shortage of people with ideas in our world, but there are very few people who know how to successfully implement a good idea, which is more valuable than thinking about a thousand of good ideas at home.
