Who Was Rockefeller?

“‘I was not an easy student,’ Rockefeller said, ‘and I had to apply myself diligently to prepare my lessons.’ He described himself as ‘reliable,’ but not ‘brilliant.’ Yet he exhibited a gift for business when he bought candy by the pound, divided it into small portions, and then sold it at a profit to his siblings.” (emphasis added)
