I think it takes a bit of narcissism or "bullheadedness" to be a successful person. Like it or not. But you know what they say, "as you get older your personality becomes more profound, that's all well and good unless your an A-hole."

Henry started out treating employees very fair. If not better then fair with higher pay then other companies. Then it all seemed to get a little nasty.

Didn't fathers back then treat their sons a bit harder then they do today? The old John Wayne mentality?

A tidbit that I thought was interesting was about the family, after Henry died, sold the Brazilian rubber plantation for a song and dance.

Definitely packed with info.
