You want a life for yourself and your children,

You can have a choice,

Or countless choices?

People who grew up in rich times may be more afraid of a boring life with only one choice, so there are never a few people who want to have "countless choices".

Rockefeller told his son that "one choice" is better than "countless choices" by comparing his life with that of his good friend mark hanna. Rockefeller succeeded in "choosing one from the other" and "reached the peak of the oil kingdom"; Mark, who has "constant choice" and "countless choices", "it is difficult to make decent achievements".

In Rockefeller's view, he only made one choice in life-"becoming rich" himself, because he only chose to embrace this "one choice", so he has strong self-confidence and belief, and always believes that he will succeed one day; Therefore, he "will never lose his judgment on himself because of the evaluation of others" and will never deny himself because of the negation of others; So he won't give in to his momentary hesitation and cowardice. He "raised his courage to the highest level" and let himself beat himself ... so Rockefeller not only had "a choice", but also had "centralized planning and perseverance after the choice"; So Rockefeller succeeded. On the other hand, his friends, because they have "countless choices", are always unable to concentrate, so they are always busy and always choosing ... After all, they just draw water with a sieve.

Feng Lun once said, "What kind of people have great genes? One is to have dreams, and the other is to have perseverance. People who have both dreams and perseverance have great genes. The rest can be learned. " Rockefeller's letter to his son undoubtedly vividly explained to us: what is a dream? What is perseverance?

As the saying goes, "a gentleman stands firm, a villain stands firm", and as the saying goes, "great men choose once in their lives, and ordinary people choose once every day". From ordinary to great, whether parents can spur their children is often in an instant.

Plan your life.

Everyone wants to succeed, but only a few people really believe that they will succeed one day and will always hold this belief. I think that's who I am. When I am broke, I believe that one day I will become the richest man in the world. Later, my life planning and goals revolved around this strong self-confidence.

When I was in high school, I had two biggest gains: first, I saw the hope of upgrading and making a living independently; Secondly, I met two like-minded friends, mark hanna and Darwin Jones. On the way home from school, we passed a white luxury house. I pass by there every time I go home. It is said that a rich man with tens of thousands of property lives in the house. We looked at the house, and mark hanna asked me a question: "How much money are you going to earn in the future?" I replied, "65438+ million." At that time, $654.38 million was an astronomical figure, and they all thought I was joking. Actually, only I know what I want.

At school, I have never lost my judgment on myself because of other people's comments. For example, some adults often change their views on a person. Yesterday, someone said that I was a cold, wily and hopeless guy, but after seeing my math scores today, his view changed, thinking that I am a talented person and a strong and self-controlled guy. Although I am really a strong person with strong self-control, I will not change anything because of his attitude. Compared with my peers, sometimes I am very fragile, and I am often overwhelmed by some exams or other questions. But what does it matter? I have no inferiority complex at all. I have a clear goal, that is to become a rich man. At this time, they don't know what they want, which means I have been walking in front of them. As for whether I played less games, made less girlfriends or ate less holiday meals during this period, I never thought about it because it was meaningless.

Don't get me wrong, son. I don't want you to be a rebel. Because, when many people talk about how hateful learning is, they regard learning as a burden. I never do that. For those subjects that I am interested in, I will take the initiative to accept; I will also take those subjects that I am not interested in seriously. I will think like this: since excellent graduation grades are the way to work, why don't I do it well? Of course, I try to learn some practical skills that are close to the goal and don't think too much.

Looking back now, did I hesitate to make a decision? Yes! There is no doubt about it. But more often, I didn't give in to cowardice, but raised my courage to the highest level with self-confidence and stuck to my plans and decisions. I have always held the belief that since I choose to do one thing well, I must do my best and leave no regrets. When everything can't be made up, it is foolish to regret that you didn't try your best.

I once said that my best friend Mark at school is a person who can't make decisions independently. He is very energetic and has participated in too many campus activities, but he never focuses on one or two things or one or two groups. He is always busy, constantly taking part in activities and making choices, but it is difficult to make decent achievements. For us, the choice is very important and difficult, and everyone will pay energy and cost for the choice. After selection, intensive cultivation and perseverance are also very important.

From leaving school to entering the society, to finding a job, and then climbing to the top of the oil kingdom step by step, all my efforts are centered on my original life plan.
