Anastasia on March 14, I love such books with something, she reminded me of the recently read Ford memoirs: “My life.

My achievements is Ford Henry, a first -person story, a story of a man who really achieved success and tells about his main life principles, and revealing the secrets of success. It is always very informative, useful, interesting and in a sense instructive. It’s better to study on other people's mistakes. He founded the company Standard Oil in the year and managed it until his official retirement of the year “The book was written in the year, after retirement, and in it it summarizes its life path and tells about his path of the entrepreneur.

The author is quite critical, warns that it will be boring, although it is very excitingly written, in my opinion, he explains the reasons for writing this memoir work and his memoir work and his memoir work. The company was regularly attacked, the habit of strictly accounting and control was instilled in his childhood, he had a rather strict mother who used the education and rods as a system of education, and in early childhood, he taught the conduct of expenses and income to the university of Rockefeller - the parents decided that the son would be more beneficial from the trading school.

Then, not without difficulty, he got a job in a trade and expedition company, where in a short period he advanced from an accountant's student to the position of accountant himself analogy with Ford suggests itself: he very quickly advanced from an engineer to the chief engineer. In this company, John, as he himself admits, received the most important experience, a lot of practical knowledge, skills.

Then Rockefeller talks about the founding of his oil company and, most importantly in the book. He will also tell in great detail about his moral principles and not just the generals, as it might seem higher from my listing above. It was interesting to know about his attitude to charity, to a fair wage of workers, about the need to educate the most important personal qualities, such as the ability to find help from oneself, without turning to anyone.

At the same time, he sincerely tells how he himself was a petitioner and that it was a very useful experience for him and there is nothing shameful in this, and, of course, how could the billionaire be circumvented about money? In no way, the money in itself does not bring happiness, ”the author believes. The novelty of the purchases quickly disappears and gives an analogy with the stomach: you can buy yourself a lot of food, but you can still digest only a limited amount of joy in money.

The joy of giving them to a good cause, to improve the lives of other people and, by the way, gives advice to the young: look first of all to that work.
