安德鲁卡耐基经典自传啊 虽然里面有很多苏格兰词汇什么的 但是细读起来还是很有味道的 一代钢铁大亨传奇一生啊
Most of what I knew about Andrew Carnegie centered around the terrible and bloody strike on 1 July 1892 at the Homestead Steel Works which the Governor of Pennsylvania put down with extreme force. But once beginning this book I couldn't put it down in spite of business to do. A wonderful experience and incredible tale of one of our most enigmatic tycoons, who amassed great wealth as a manufacturer and then dedicated his retired years in managing the giving away of nine-tenths of all the wealth to noble ends. he established retirement and pension and survivor funds for the families of all his workers; then did the same for college and university professors. He built the Peace Palace at the Hague, built 1,600 libraries all over the country; established Tuskegee University, and so on and so forth.
You will be speaking better English, will have sought out Robert Burns' poetry just to feel some of what influenced this great man, and will begin taking yourself to account each day as the influence of true nobility begins to soak into your heart. Read it!
There are some books that must be kept for life, that must be read time and again. This book falls into that category. Indian ruler Akbar had nine jewels. Well, he would have kept ten, had he read this book.
The book is a treasure on life and experiences of a legend. His deep insights on business and his tactics on getting things done are useful even today. There is very little on his childhood and a lot on his business life. His business years that saw the Civil war, use of steel for the first time, bubble burst of 1873, etc. present a very interesting picture of the history of America.
A must read even for non-Americans (like me).
Through an excess of modesty, Andrew Carnegie tells too little of himself in this, preferring to talk of the magnanimity of others, of their contribution; and of his childlike enjoyment of the wealth and position he built. But his attitude shines through: that one man cannot build a fortune. It takes a team. Specifically, he cites labor, management, and capital as three co-equal legs of a stool, each dependent on the others, none superior to the others. That wisdom built his empire. Greedy, stupid short-sightedness now threatens to destroy it and us all. This book has my highest recommendation.
Just a wonderful insight into a gifted and very special man. Perhaps never another like him. His advice about business matters is as correct today as then. What an extraordinary logic at work in an unique man. He had amazing attitudes when you consider his youth and impoverished background. Much of what he did in his early days of business would now be considered as conflicts of interest (at best) or insider trading at worst. But it makes sense now as times were different, He latched onto excellent mentors early and impressed them with his enthusiasm and initiative. It appears to never have been mis-directed.
