The world’s oil king is billionaire John Davison Rockefeller. He was born on July 8, 1839 and passed away on May 23, 1937. He is known as an American business magnate and the founder of the iconic oil empire in the business world, Standard Oil Company. He was the richest American of his time. And he was also a great father who always dedicated himself to educating his children. After the success of this billionaire, there were personal stories. Especially in his teachings to his children, he emphasized the acceptance of two things:
Billionaire John Davison Rockefeller
Accepting “offense”
On the road to success, you will always encounter malicious words and scrutiny. Nobody likes this, but the quality of successful people is not caring about malicious words. The American oil king believed that this is a necessary thing that everyone must go through before success. He himself has experienced humiliation from others, but he still endured it for his ultimate goal. He said that everyone will have times when they are applauded, but there are also times when they are attacked, offended, and receive malicious words. The billionaire believes that offensive words are not entirely bad. If you stay calm, then the successful person will see offensive words as a measure of their own abilities. He does not blame the offensive words on the offenders, but he wants his children to realize that we are offended because of our own weaknesses in order to continue to improve ourselves.
Accepting risks and failures
Life always offers chances. For successful people, seizing opportunities is an important factor. Fear of failure, fear of risks, and hesitation are the paths that make many people fail. Therefore, we can only watch others succeed. The higher the risk, the greater the success. But most of us are afraid of risks and failure. We fear losing, losing face, and empty-handedness. Some people, after failing once, lose all their willpower and no longer dare to move forward. According to the oil king, to step into a safe zone is to not know how much potential our life has. Sometimes great ideas die and only remain as ideas because we don’t dare to try. The oil king advises his son that most of the time, safety does not make us wealthy. He believes that in order to achieve great rewards, we must accept accompanying risks.
Therefore, in this life, never think that anything is easy, never look at the success of others and envy and think that they have more than us. Behind success always lies effort and patience. Successful people never tolerate those who offend them. Instead of retreating and caring about negative words, they focus on moving forward, advancing even stronger to achieve even more success. Success is not determined by background, but by their own abilities and qualities. Successful people do not waste time comparing themselves to jealous people.
