The Discipline of Perception

In the Panic of 1857, a massive national finanical crisis that originated in Ohio. John D. Rockefeller could have gotten scared. Here was the greatest market depression in history and it hit him just as he was finally getting the hang of things. He could have pullet out and run like others. He could have quit finance altogether for a different carrer with less risk. Even after the crisis.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Giovanna Scalzone

Jamyson Haug

Laetitia Berton
