老洛克菲勒说过“,赚钱的能力是上帝赐给我们的一份礼物”。出于对家族的责任感,年迈体衰的老洛克菲勒后来把这种人生观传递给了他惟一的儿子——小约翰·D·洛克菲勒,他就是大卫的父亲。小洛克菲勒成了家族的掌门人后,不仅接管了家族的石油生意,同时还接管了家族的慈善事业。 Old Rockefeller said, “The ability to earn money is a gift God has given us.” Out of a sense of family responsibility, old, aged, poor, old-fashioned Phil Rockefeller later passed on his outlook on life to his only son, John D. Rockefeller, David's father. After little Rockefeller became the head of the family, not only took over the family's oil business, but also took over the family's charity.
