Chen Ping endured humiliation and studied hard".

Chen Pingxi Han Dynasty famous, when he was young, his family was poor, and his brother depended on each other, in order to uphold his father's life, glorify the court, do not produce, study behind closed doors, but is not allowed by the sister-in-law, in order to eliminate the contradiction of the brother and sister-in-law Mingfeng, in the face of repeated humiliation, forbearance, with the sister-in-law intensified, finally unbearable, ran away from home, wanted to wander the world, after being chased back by the brother, and regardless of the previous suspicions, the brother was prevented from retiring the sister-in-law, and it was passed on as a beautiful talk in the local area. In the end, there is an old man, who came to teach apprentices for free, and after completing his studies, he assisted Liu Bang and achieved a hegemony.

Gorky, Newton, Edison, etc., all started to be self-reliant from childhood, and you can just go and read their autobiographies.

David Rockefeller is the third generation of the Rockefeller family, the youngest of the brothers, and the most capable one. His career was not in oil, but in the famous Bank of Manhattan, which ranked sixth among the world's top 10 banks. When he became Chairman of the Bank's Executive Committee and Managing Director, he raised the bank's net worth from $2 billion to $3.4 billion.

David was born in New York City in 1915, when his family had hundreds of millions of dollars, but the children could only get a triangle of pocket money every week, and each of them had to prepare a small ledger, and register the whereabouts of the triangle money according to their father's requirements, and after inspection, if they used it reasonably, they could also get rewards. The amount of pocket money children receive grows with age: at the age of eleven or twelve, they get one dollar a week, and when they are fifteen, they get about two dollars a week.

So when David left home when he grew up, he had many ledgers.

David's father deliberately put his children under financial pressure in order to educate them to understand the value of money from an early age. Pocket money is limited, what if you want to use more? There is only one way, to earn it yourself.

As a child, David learned to earn money from household chores: catching rats in the attic earned five cents each, while chores such as chopping wood and pulling weeds were paid according to time. David had a trick up his sleeve by managing to get the franchise to shine the shoes of the whole family.

However, he had to get up by six o'clock in the morning in order to finish his work before the whole family got up, polishing a pair of leather shoes for five cents and a pair of boots for a dime.

David did not enjoy the life of any super-rich man in his childhood, he wore the same ordinary clothes as a hired laborer, and his life was simple and unpretentious, tense and happy. He had a college classmate who was a rich kid who spent a lot of money and could get what he wanted before he even asked for it. But David said:

He was the unluckiest man I knew, he was married three times, changed jobs several times, and never used his abilities.

Growth inspiration: Self-improvement and self-reliance is a basic starting point for everything we do. David learned to be self-reliant, and persevered all his life, was aggressive, and finally made a world of his own.
