I have read the CHINESE TRANSLATION of the J.D.ROCKEFELLER's Letters to Jr. I am still waiting for the ORIGINAL ENGLISH VERSION of Rockefeller's
Letters to Jr. I am very touched by J.D., such a GREAT FATHER with so
much LOVE for HIS SON J.D.Jr.

The letters are full of teachings and sharing about experiences in LIFE,
from J.D.'s humble beginning as a $5/week book-keeper in CHICAGO area, I
believe or it was in CLEVELAND.(Pardon me, I am not AMERICAN).J.D.'s
aspirations and determination to succeed in business began with his
HARD WORK, THRIFT, DETERMINATIONS, HUMBLE, a lots of great virtues in the
past which today young people in HK/CHINA & USA have forgotten. You see
the trouble in financial tsunami which we are facing today are the results
of forgetting the virtues of THRIFT & HARDWORK. In J.D.'s letters to
Jr there were many repetition of such GREAT VIRTUES, GREAT IDEAS and
HARDWORK as well as J.D.'s business experiences in facing adversity.

I admire J.D.ROCKEFELLER Sr. not because he was a very RICH MAN, but he
was indeed a man very RICH in SPIRIT. Everything he did he had a humble
goal of fulfilling the WILL of GOD, FOR THE GREATER GLORY of GOD in order
to serve MANKIND. No wonder, he was so successful, his CHILDREN are also
GREAT in the HISTORY of AMERICA. Indeed, I am IMPRESSED!!! USA is a GREAT
COUNTRY to have GREAT PERSON such as Mr.J.D.ROCKEFELLER Sr.

THE READERS HAVE to get hold of such a good book personally in order to
appreciate and enjoy
every fine words wriiten in the LETTERS to SON by MR.J.D.ROCKEFELLER Sr.
I just can't wait to get hold of the ENGLISH edition of CORRESPONDENCE of
FATHER to SON, JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER Sr. to Jr. which was supposed to be shipped in
November,2008. Before then, I remain your friend from HONG KONG,CHINA.

I also read Chinese Version " Rockefeller's 38 letters to his son". I looked for English Version.
I read Stephen Young comments " Dear Father, Dear Son" before I bought. But when I received, I found it is not same book as Chinese Verson. It is a little of misleading. So for those people who has read Chinese verson, looking for English verson, has to be careful. It is not the same book!
I am not saying " Dear Father, Dear Son" is not good, but it could be compared with " Rockefeller's 38 letters to his son". I do not know where I can find that book in English, I've searched everwhere.
