“A LESSON IN LIFE”
A big “thank you” to both Chris. Lawton & Keith Bennett for sending us this story. Ample proof, that if you are not willing to share it with those less fortunate than you are, Personal Wealth means absolutely nothing to anyone.
Remarkable fella, this John D.Rockerfeller, so well known by just his initials alone, JD, one of the wealthiest men in history, goes on to give us this ‘Lesson in life’, as only he could do it.
They tell us that we are students to the grave, a grave, but true statement, that every one of us should be aware of.

REACHING A POINT IN LIFE WHERE WEALTH MEANS NOTHING.
J D Rockefeller

John D Rockefeller was once the richest man in the world. The first billionaire in the world. By age 25, he controlled one of the largest oil refineries in the US. By age 31, he had become the world’s largest oil refiner. By age 38, he commanded 90% of the oil refined in the U.S.
By 50, he was the richest man in the country. As a young man, every decision, attitude, and relationship was tailored to create his personal power and wealth.
But at the age of 53, he became ill. His entire body became racked with pain and he lost all of his hair. In complete agony, the world’s only billionaire could buy anything he wanted, but he could only digest soup and crackers. An associate wrote, He could not sleep, would not smile and nothing in life meant anything to him. His personal, highly skilled physicians predicted he would die within a year. That year passed agonizingly slowly.
