Seasons are natural occurrences as well as created observations of man through experience and his interaction with things in all areas of this world. Ever since creation, seasons have been there to guide humanity. Seasons come and go!

LETTERS FROM J.D ROCKEFELLER TO HIS SON – Perspective, ideology and Wisdom
“What we say may reveal or conceal our own thoughts, but our choices almost always reveal our inner secrets-thoughts, the first choice everyone makes is also the first revelation. In a negotiation, you must understand what you are saying. If you can really control everything, you should be able to control what you are saying and bring yourself benefits. —– Similarly, you must remain vigilant at all times in order to receive messages from your opponents. If so, you can continue to control a clear advantage. If you fail to do this, you may lose another opportunity. You need to know that losing in a competitive negotiation means that your chances of winning the negotiation next time will be reduced.”
“For thousands of years, many philosophers have advised us: know yourself. However, most people interpret it as just knowing the negative side of themselves. Most self-assessments include too many shortcomings, mistakes, and incompetence. It is good to recognize your own shortcomings and you can use this to seek improvement. However, if we only recognize the negative side of ourselves, we will fall into chaos and make ourselves worthless. ——- For those who long for others to respect them, the reality is cruel, because others will think of him the same way he thinks of himself. We will all be treated like ‘what we think we are’. Those who think that they are a bit worse than others, no matter what their actual ability is, will definitely be a bit worse than others, because the mind itself can regulate and control various actions.”
“Experience tells me that people who are bold and decisive can complete the best deal, attract the support of others, and form the most powerful alliance. Those who are timid and hesitant can hardly reap such benefits. Not only that, bold methods are also beneficial to them. People with confidence will turn their expectations into success. They will design all plans to pursue success in accordance with their expectations.”
“You have to focus on your strengths and tell yourself that you are better than you think. You must have a foresight and see the future potential for development, instead of just looking at the current situation, and having lofty expectations of yourself. Always remember this question: ‘Will important people do this? This will gradually make you more successful. —— Children, the road to success is paved with gold, but this road is just one-way street. At this moment, we need an optimistic attitude. Optimism is often called hope by philosophers. Let me first tell you that this is a misunderstanding of optimism! The so-called optimism is a kind of belief, that is, believing that life is ultimately more joyful and less miserable, and that even if things that are not as good as we wish, good things will eventually prevail.”
