A rich man visits a philosopher and asks him why he has become more and more narrow after he has money. The copyman took him to the window and asked: "Looking out, tell me what you saw?" The rich said: "I saw many people in the outside world." The philosopher took him to a mirror and asked. "What do you see now?" The rich man replied: "I myself." The philosopher smiled and said: "The window and the mirror are made of glass. The only difference is that the mirror has a thin layer of silver. But it is because This kind of silver, you are only seeing yourself and not seeing the world."

Everyone knows that the oil king Rockefeller is a famous philanthropist, but few people know that Rockefeller was blindfolded by a thin layer of silver.

Rockefeller was born in poverty, and he worked hard in the early days of entrepreneurship. People praised him as a good young man. But when he was rich, he became greedy and ruthless. The residents of the Pennsylvania oil field suffered from it and hated him. Some residents made his wooden idol, and then hanged the wooden idol simulation to relieve the hatred of the heart. Numerous threatening letters filled with hatred and curse were sent to his office, and even his brothers did not distorted his actions, and moved his son’s grave from the Rockefeller family’s cemetery, saying that his son could not Sleep well! Rockefeller’s first half of his life was spent in rebellion. When Rockefeller was 53 years old, the disease was riddled with people who were as thin as mummies. The doctors announced to him a cruel fact: he must choose one of money, trouble, and life. At this time he began to realize that the greedy demon controlled his body and mind. He followed the doctor's advice, retired home, began to learn to play golf, went to the theater to watch comedy, and often chatted with neighbors. He began a life of unresolved life.

Later, Rockefeller began to think about how to donate huge amounts of money to others. At first people did not accept it, saying it was dirty money.

A school on the shores of Lake Michigan was closed due to insolvency, and he immediately donated millions of dollars, which led to the birth of the University of Chicago; Beijing's famous Concord Hospital was also sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation; China occurred in 1932 Cholera, thanks to the Rockefeller Foundation funding, has enough vaccine prevention to prevent disasters; in addition, Rockefeller has also established a number of welfare businesses to help black people. From then on, people began to look at him from another perspective.

Rockefeller’s first half of life lost his way for money, and the latter half of his life was gone, only to return to the right path of life. He earned at least $1 billion in his lifetime and 750 million in donations. It took him a lifetime to find the world he had lost, where there was peace, happiness, health and longevity that could not be bought with money, and the respect and love of others. To do this, Rockefeller, who is 98 years old, has no regrets.
