How do you understand your wake up call? At the age of 33, John D Rockefeller sir became a Millionaire.  By the time he turned 43, his company had become the Standard Oil Largest Monopoly Company. 

 

 

 But by the age of 53, his business started slowing down.  John D touched the heights of his life, but his health started falling.  

 

According to the doctor, this happened because of his lifestyle. John D used to worry about his business day and night.  His hair had started falling, he had become tangled. 

  Once he used to be a strong person but now he has become very weak. His skin too had now turned yellow.  

John D didn’t have any free time.  He had no time for any hobby or leisure. His only aim was to earn money.

 

   Because of this, she used to live under pressure and tension all the time. John D always reminded himself that perhaps his success was temporary.  

His business partner George Gardner would invite him for selling, but John D would never go. 

 His weekend was also spent in the office. He had forgotten to laugh, everyone was afraid of him.  John D didn’t see the good in anyone. 

 

 And one day that also came when his monopoly failed. His rivals were back with full power. The people who had been abused by his oil company were now demanding change. 

 

 John. D’s health kept on deteriorating. He had lost sleep at night, he could not eat properly.  His doctors made him aware of his exact condition. Either they choose the company or their health. Had he not retired, he could have died at the age of 53. And the cause of his death will be his fear, greed and tension.  

 

So after all, John D had to leave his company.  The doctor tells him 3 health rules to follow.  First of all, never take tension.  John D had to stay away from things that give tension at all costs.  

The second is that they have to take complete rest. Along with rest, it is important to do any kind of exercise. They should include outdoor activities in their routine.  

 

And the third important thing isn’t to always monitor your diet. Whatever food is there, eat it in the right amount.  

When John D started following all these rules, then his life was saved. He was going to die at the age of 53 but he lived for the next 45 years. 

 

He started playing golf and made friends with many of his neighbours. Had started gardening a little too. Not only this, but now they also started singing. 

 But the biggest change that John D.  What came in life was that they had now learned to care about others. 

 

 When he retired, he had plenty of time to think.  John D. realized that with the amount of money he had, he could bring happiness to the lives of so many people.  

 

Now he left thinking about earning money and started helping people. John D  also helped a small college in Lake Michigan.  He saved it from closure by investing millions. That small college later became the University of Chicago.

 

  John D also donated a lot of money to schools of minorities such as Tsukiji College.  Once upon a time in the South U.S. 

 Hookworm disease had spread. Whoever was infected with this disease used to take 50 cents for his treatment.  John D wants to save people from this disease.

He donated millions so that this disease can be got rid of forever in one go. And this is where the Rockefeller Foundation started.  

Today Rockefeller has become a worldwide organization whose mission is to fight diseases and lack of information.  

Rockefeller has also funded much research. John D Rockefeller was only because of the help of the scientists were able to make the miracle drug penicillin.

  The Rockefeller Foundation has helped a lot in its progress by protecting humanity from diseases such as influenza, malaria and tuberculosis. 

 

 John D donated all his money. His company had lost the Sandford Oil Company court cases, due to which he also lost several million.  But as many people thought that they would be ruined, it did not happen. John D.  Now he was happy with his life.  

  Now he had stopped talking unnecessarily.  He had learned to live now and he lived for the full 98 years.

 

What we have learned from this story, John.D life gives many time wake up calls. But his greed and vanity close the eye and ear of John.D.

Restricted him from not hearing and seeing the wake-up call. When he stood on the border of life and death. Then he realised his wake up call. But all are not that lucky.

 

So it’s better to understand what you are, and what your life wants from you.

Like John.D, when he learned about the essence of life. He changed his approach from taking to the giver, greed into sacrifice, and vanity into modesty.

 

He helped the school and college by donating, helping to rid of hookworm disease to his countryman, and helping to establish Rockefeller Foundation. 

Our universe works on the principle of reciprocity. So, that the John.D gave to the world, the world returned him in the form of fame, relaxation, joy and satisfaction from life.
