Rockefeller writes to his son: heaven is also hell

Rockefeller wrote to his son: It is heaven and hell. <br /> This is a letter written by the American oil king Rockefeller to his son. In the letter he told his son: "If you regard work as a kind of happiness, life is heaven; if you see Work is an obligation, life is hell.” This is a positive outlook on life, and I believe everyone will benefit from it.
Dear John:
There is a fable that is very meaningful and makes me feel a lot. That fable says:
In ancient Europe, when someone died, he found himself in a wonderful place to enjoy everything. He just stepped into the land, and someone who looked like a waiter came over and asked him: "Mr. What do you need? Here you can have everything you want: all the delicacies, all possible Entertainment and a variety of pastimes, including many beautiful ladies, can make you enjoy yourself."
After listening to this person, I was a little surprised, but very happy. He secretly hijacked: This is not my dream in the world! Throughout the day, he tasted all the delicacies while enjoying the beauty of the color. However, one day, he felt so boring about all this, so he said to the waiter: "I am very tired of all this, I need to do something. Can you find a job for me?"
He did not expect that the answer he got was shaking his head: "I am sorry, my husband, this is the only thing we can't do for you. There is no work here for you."
This person is very frustrated; he waved angrily and said, "This is really bad! Then I will stay in hell!"
"What do you think, where are you?" the waiter said softly.
John, this very humourous fable, seems to tell me that losing a job is tantamount to losing happiness. But unfortunately, some people have to realize this after they are unemployed. This is unfortunate!
I can be proud to say that I have never tasted the unemployed; it is not my luck, but that I never regard work as a hard-working hard work, but I can find unlimited happiness from my work.
I believe that work is a privilege that brings more things than maintaining life. Work is the foundation of all business, and the source of all prosperity is also the genius of the shape. Work makes young people work harder and do more than their parents, no matter how rich they are. Work is expressed in the most humble savings and lays the foundation for happiness. Work is a salt that adds to the taste of life. But people must love it first, and work can give the greatest favor and the greatest results.
When I first entered the business world, I often heard that it takes a lot of sacrifice for a person to climb to the peak. However, as the years passed, I began to understand that many people who are climbing to the peak are not "paying the price." They work hard because they really love work. Anyone who climbs up in any industry is fully committed to what they are doing and is dedicated. The work that I sincerely love to do is naturally successful.
Love to work is a belief. With this conviction, we can cut the mountain of despair into a rock of hope. A great painter said well, "The pain will pass, but the beauty will last forever."
But some people are obviously not smart enough, they are ambitious, but they are too picky about work and are always looking for "perfect" employers or jobs. The fact is that employers need employees who work on time and are honest and hard. He only leaves the opportunity for salary increase and promotion to those employees who are extraordinarily hardworking, extraordinarily loyal, extra eager, and spend more time doing business because he is running a business. Instead of doing charity, what he needs is more valuable people.

No matter how big a person's ambition is, he must start at least to reach the peak. Once started, it is not too difficult to move on. The harder or less pleasant the work, the more you have to do it right away. If he waits longer, it becomes more difficult and horrible. It is a bit like a gun. The longer you aim, the more chances you have to shoot.
I will never forget to do my first job, the bookkeeper's experience. At that time, although I was just getting bright every day, I had to go to work, and the whale oil lamp in the office was very dim, but the job never let I feel bored and boring, but it makes me fascinated and delighted. Even the red tape in the office can't make me lose my enthusiasm. The result is that employers are constantly raising my salary.
Income is just a by-product of your work, do what you should do, and do what you should do well, and the ideal salary will come. More importantly, the highest reward for our hard work lies not in what we get, but in what we become. Those who are active in their work are not just trying to make money, they are more motivated to continue their work enthusiasm than they are only knowing how to accumulate money – they are engaged in a fascinating career.
To be honest, I am a ambitious person. I wanted to be rich when I was young. For me, the Hewitt-Tattle company I hired is a great place to exercise my ability and let me try my hand. It represents a variety of merchandise sales, owns an iron ore, and operates two technologies that allow it to survive, that is, railways and telegraphs that revolutionize the US economy. It brought me into the interesting and vast business world, let me learn to respect the numbers and facts, let me see the power of the transportation industry, and cultivate my ability and quality as a businessman. All of this has been extremely effective in my future business. I can say that there is no experience in Hewitt-Tattle, and I may have to take a lot of detours in my career.
Now, whenever I think of Hewitt-Tattle, when I think of my old employers, Hewitt and Tuttle, my heart can’t help but feel grateful. That working life is my life. The beginning of the struggle has laid the foundation for me to rise. I am always grateful for the experience of three and a half years.
So, I have never complained to his employer like some people, saying: "We are just slaves. We are being put on the dust by our employers. They are high and enjoy themselves in their beautiful villas: their safes are full. Gold, every dollar they have, is to squeeze our honest workers." I don't know if these people complained: Who gave you the opportunity to find employment? Who gave you the possibility of building a family? Who made you the possibility to develop yourself? If you are already aware of the crush on others, why don't you end the squeeze and leave?
Work is an attitude that determines whether we are happy or not. The same stonemason, also in the sculpture stone statue, if you ask them: "What are you doing here?" One of them may say: "You saw it, I am drilling a stone, I can go back after finishing this. Home." This kind of person always regards work as punishment. The most common word in his mouth is "tired."
Another person might say, "You saw it, I am doing a statue. It is a very hard job, but the reward is very high. After all, I have a wife and four children, they need food and clothing." Work is a burden, and a sentence that is often spit out in his mouth is "fostering a family."
The third person may put down the hammer and proudly point to the stone sculpture and say, "You see it, I am doing a work of art." This kind of person is always proud of work, work is fun, and he spits out most often in his mouth. The sentence is "This work is very meaningful."
Heaven and hell are built by themselves. If you give meaning to work, no matter how big the job is, you will feel happy. Self-set achievements will make people have fun in their work. If you don't like to do it, any simple thing will become difficult and boring. When you yell that the job is very tiring, even if you don't work hard, you will feel exhausted, and vice versa. That's the way it is.
John, if you regard work as a pleasure, life is a paradise; if you regard work as an obligation, life is hell. Examine your work attitude, it will make us feel happy.
Love your father
