CHARITY DONE BY ROCKEFELLER GAVE HIM EXTENDED LIFESPAN

 

FOREWORD  


A nice article that I compiled about John D Rockfeller in two languages. 




This article highlights the fact that though his doctors told he will die when he was 54 years, due to his change of attitude, and enormous charity that he did, he lived till 98 years.

Part 1 Summary


By age 25, he had one of the largest oil refineries in the United States. He was 31 when he became the world’s largest oil refiner. At 38, he controlled 90% of the oil refined in the United States. 


At fifty, John was America’s richest man. 


Part 2 


1. John D. Rockefeller’s health issues had a profound impact on his perspective on life. 


2. When he fell seriously ill in his early 50s, he faced severe physical pain and the emotional toll of losing all his hair due to alopecia.


3. His health deteriorated to the point where he could only eat simple foods like soup and crackers.


4. When he was around 53 years, his  personal, highly trained physicians indicated that he would die within the year. That year passed painfully slowly. 


5. This period of suffering made him realize that his immense wealth couldn’t buy him good health or happiness.


6. This period of illness led him to a profound realization about the limitations of his wealth and to a significant shift in his priorities.


7. He began to see the importance of using his wealth for the greater good.


8. Rockefeller decided to devote a large portion of his fortune to philanthropy, focusing on areas like medical research, education, and public health.


9. This change in perspective resulted in the establishment of the Rockefeller Foundation, which has had a lasting impact on various fields.


10. After being told he would never see his 54th birthday, John D. Rockefeller lived to be 98 years old.


11. John D. Rockefeller’s remarkable health change coincided with his noteworthy shift in mindset and heart. 


12. What happens when you begin to believe and act with gratitude and faith is amazing.

Punctuality and Mr  Leo Charles FULL A Flash back to 1998 .   Tamil translation    தமிழ் மொழிபெயர்ப்பு I happen to work as a computer software developer for a big civil contractor (Pre-qualified Contractor), Mr.Leo Charles.  He was the Managing Director of M/s. BrickSteel Enterprises, Salem. He was a crorepati and a very sincere Christian. A person with good manners and a kind heart. OTHER WORKS OF EZHILARASAN VENKATACHALAM   I can’t forget the VIP treatment he gave me in the inauguration function of his new house. Since, I was a physically challenged person, I had difficulty in sitting down on the floor like others and eat.  However, he made me sit in a separate room and made his people serve exclusively for me like a VIP.  It was a great honour for me and could not forget the experience. Very few rich people show such extremely good manners. Meeting Mr.Leo Charles for the first time. I met Mr.Charles for the first time somewhere in 1998...

LEARN FROM AN EAGLE .. PART 02 TRANSLATION SOFT SKILLS BY EZHILARASAN

SEVEN  PRINCIPLES TO LEARN FROM AN EAGLE part 02 - Translation  . "கழுகும் அதன் 7 கொள்கைகளும்” ... பாகம் 02 =॥=॥=॥=॥=॥=॥=॥=॥=॥=॥=॥=॥= 6. *When the Eagle Grows Old,* His feathers becomes weak and cannot take him as fast and as high as it should. This makes him weak and could make him die. ஓரு கழுகு வயதாகியதும், அதன் இறக்கை பலவீனமாகி, அது பறக்க வேண்டிய வேகத்தில் பறக்க ஒத்துழைக்காது. அது சாகும் அளவிற்கு பலவீனப்பட்டு உள்ளதாக உணரும். So he retires to a place far away in the mountains. உடனே மலையிலிருந்து நீண்ட தூரத்திற்கு ஓய்விற்காகச் சென்றுவிடும். While there, he plucks out the weak feathers on his body and breaks its beaks and claws against the rocks until he is completely bare; a very bloody and painful process. அங்கிருந்து, தன் உடலிலுள்ள அத்தனை இறகுகளையும் மொட்டையாக வரும்வரை நீக்கிவிடும். அது ரத்தமும் வலியும் நிறைந்த வேதனை நிறைந்த ஒரு நிகழ்வு. Then he stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, new beaks and claws and then he comes out...
