Rockefeller's wisdom: Everyone should take time to enrich themselves
The real wealth is not only the growth of the number in the bank account, but also the enrichment of the soul, the improvement of the ability and the realization of self-worth.
01 Cognitive awakening: Time is the most valuable asset
The famous British naturalist Huxley said: "Time is the most unbiased, to anyone is 24 hours; Time is also the most biased, not 24 hours for anyone."
For Rockefeller, his time is worth far more than 24 hours. Rockefeller was very good at time management since childhood, and he regarded time as his most valuable asset. Relying on his keen perception and efficient use of time, he continued to learn and accumulate, laying a solid foundation for his future success.
Similarly, Bill Gates, as a world-renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist, is also a model of efficient use of time. He once said that he always spent his time on the most important things, such as reading and strategic planning.
We should learn to plan our time and devote our limited time to the most valuable things, such as learning new knowledge, improving self-ability, building interpersonal relationships, etc., so as to gradually accumulate energy and realize the improvement of self-value.
02 The power of action: Time is the most effective feedback
Rockefeller understood that it is not enough to dream big and understand deeply, but to make dreams come true, you must put them into practice. His life is a magnificent epic of constantly transforming ideas into action and creating wealth through action.
Rockefeller encouraged people to try, to take the first step. He often said, "Don't be afraid to fail, because the biggest failure is not trying."
Rockefeller stressed the importance of continuous effort. He believes that success is not achieved overnight, but requires long-term accumulation and unremitting efforts. He encouraged people to have patience and perseverance, to pursue their goals relentlessly even in the face of difficulties and setbacks.
Action not only enables us to turn our ideas into reality, but also enables us to learn and grow through practice.
03 The wisdom of investment: Time is the best way to grow
Benjamin Franklin once said, "Self-education is the most important investment you can make, because it can never be taken away."
Rockefeller also believed that investing in yourself was the wisest way to grow your wealth. He firmly believes that a person's value depends on his ability and quality, and the improvement of ability and quality requires continuous learning and investment.
Rockefeller continued to learn and improve his abilities throughout his life. He has read a large number of business books and classic works, accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience; He actively participated in social activities, established contacts with people from all walks of life, and broadened his vision and contacts; He also focuses on developing his own leadership and innovative thinking to constantly push his career forward.
The world famous investor Warren Buffett also attaches great importance to self-investment. He spends a lot of time every day reading financial information, studying company reports and learning investment theories. In addition, he also focuses on exchanging ideas and sharing experiences with excellent investors, so as to continuously improve his investment ability and judgment. It is this persistence and dedication to self-investment that has made Buffett one of the richest people in the world.
There is a Buddhist saying: Improve yourself and the world will change.
Let us follow Rockefeller's example, from now on, cherish the time, have the courage to act, continue to learn, invest in yourself, and be a shining self.
