It is said that wealth can only last three generations, but this family has been rich for six generations. What is the "secret"?

There is a saying in China that "you cannot get rich for three generations." However, there is a family that has been rich for six generations and is still prospering. This is the Rockefeller family in the United States.

It can be said that the 200-year development history of the Rockefeller family is like a microcosm of the development of the United States during this period. Whether it is material or spiritual, they are like national representatives of the United States and influence the United States. Affecting all parts of the world. Some people may ask why this family has been able to develop for more than a century and is still creating brilliance today. What is the biggest difference between it and other families?

In fact, the most important thing for this family to develop into what it is today is that they know how to share wealth. Unlike many families, they always think about how to keep their wealth and prevent it from falling to others. In the pocket, brothers and sisters may even turn against each other over property.

The Rockefeller family is not only very united and harmonious within the family, but also shares their wealth with the society. They invest a lot of money in the construction of universities and hospitals, so that the influence and reputation of the company are very great. , thus using wealth to create wealth, forming a virtuous cycle. For a long time, the Rockefeller family has been a symbol of wealth and power.

The Rockefeller family is still moving towards glory. Such achievements are not only the financial foundation laid for them by the rich generation Rockefeller, but more importantly, the precious educational philosophy left by Rockefeller. Unlike many entrepreneurs, he always neglects his family when he is busy making money, and fails to let his children have a sound personality from an early age.

When Rockefeller was busy with business, he also paid great attention to family education. He would often reflect on it, write down his life insights and organize them into letters, which he would read to his future heirs, and so on from generation to generation. passed down. Each generation of Rockefeller family heirs have kept in mind the teachings in the letter and used this concept to develop the company better and better.

In addition, among the letters left by Rockefeller, the first letter told his children that everything in life depends on themselves.

Our world is like a big mountain. Some people live at the top of the mountain, while others live at the foot of the mountain. Parents live at the top of the mountain, and children are born at the top of the mountain. But what parents can only give is a better life. A high starting point can reduce many difficulties and obstacles on the road of children's growth, so that they can get on the right track of their lives more quickly. But the starting point never means the result. Everyone's fate is determined by their own actions, not their own origins.

There is a joke that there is a man who only needs to eat, drink and have fun every day, but he is still a millionaire. But what you don’t know is that he inherited 20 million from his father. This is a tragic problem, because children born from poor families need to work hard to change their situation, but children from rich families have an advantage from the beginning, so they do not need to urgently learn those survival skills.

Everyone wants to live a better life, but a truly noble life is not to rely on your parents, but to learn to enjoy your own achievements. True nobility does not come from one's birth or one's lifestyle, but from one's character. A person must learn to be self-reliant. Our life has just begun. Don't think about placing your life on others, including your parents and your lover.

It is better to rely on ourselves than to rely on others and heaven. At every stage of life, we must try our best to achieve a matching level of self-reliance. With the belief that we want to change our destiny on our own, we will slowly work hard to change the predicament we are in now, and finally achieve a life that is satisfactory to us.

Rockefeller left 38 letters to his children in one lifetime, which were not only guidance on their children's careers, but also suggestions on their knowledge, character, social interaction and other aspects. A thoughtful person compiled these 38 letters into a book and labeled it the educational concepts of the top rich, making the book popular all over the world as soon as it was released.
