Rockefeller's grateful photographer

John rockefeller, a famous oil tycoon and founder of Standard Oil Company, told a short story in his letter to his son in his later years. It is said that his success is due to a picture of graduation photo in his primary school, but he is not in the picture. It is this photo that nurtured his dream and planted the seeds of becoming a rich man in his young mind. He told himself that he must be a rich man when he grows up.

Mr john rockefeller was born in a very poor family. However, in order to get a good education, his parents tried their best to get him into a school for the children of the rich. One day, the school teacher asked him to take a photo. Little John was so excited that he put on his best clothes and went to school. When the photographer walked into the classroom. Little John smiled, trying to get the photographer's attention and make him look like Shuai Shuai. I also fantasize about showing his photo to my parents and telling them that he is the most handsome child among all my classmates. In those days, taking pictures was a very extravagant thing. Little John also knows that his parents can't afford to take pictures of themselves. He fantasized about sending his photos to his parents, who were very happy. Suddenly I heard the photographer say to his teacher, can you get the child out of his seat? His clothes were very shabby, and his appearance in my photo frame affected the shooting effect. Hearing the photographer's ridicule, little John's cheeks warmed up. He didn't know how to resist and calmly left his seat without anger and arrogance. Left a perfect photo for the students. That photo has been with Mr. john rockefeller all his life. He took the photographer's insult not as a blow, but as an encouragement. After his success and great wealth, he said that without the encouragement of photographers, he might not have achieved the status of an oil tycoon, let alone gained great wealth. This childhood dream made the Rockefeller family legend.
