Comment on Notes on John D. Rockefeller

"I cheat my boys every time I get a chance. I want to make 'em sharp. I trade with the boys and skin 'em. I just beat 'em every chance I get." -- John D Rockefeller

I wonder how that worked out...

This quote is attributed to his father William Avery Rockefeller.

Father/Son.... That is a powerful quote nevertheless, speaks to some more than others.

Powerful quote, but father/son is a stretch. He hated his gambling/drinking/bigamist/criminal father who left his mother when he was 12.

Yeah I was going to comment about the same thing. There is a good advice for people who have parents that are alcoholics. Don't take the first sip.
