Carnegie

[GarretSlarrity]

"No man can become rich, without himself enriching others." My favorite line. So true.

[Deadmau5243]

carnegie is my last name

[2902ao]

Carnegie was a great man. So often, you read how he gave away all his money, but somehow he was still a bad guy who ripped off his employees........it's not true. He treated his employees well. The whole basis of socialism is to say that rich people only get there by ripping off poor people, which is like saying tall people only get tall because other people are short......it makes no sense whatsoever.

[Leshegan]

where did you get this film and what's the name of the song?

[cozmos86]

Andrew by Carnegie by David Nasaw is a fantastic read

Meet you in hell by les standiford not so great.

Titan by ron chernow is the best book you'll ever read esp since he was at the same time as Carnegie.

I spend lotta time in the gym...but I listen to audiobooks whilst I'm there. I always try to have one book on audio n one physical. That way I can get through 2 books a week. The mind truly is the way to happiness and prosperity.

[buckfast87]

a great man, he gave all his money away in the end through the guilt of using child slave labour in america

I have visited Abbot House. Andrew Carnegie is a great man.

When I lived in Scotland, some locals refused to believe how great he was.

I know they underestimated his success.

I wish the time people spnd in the gym

they would do the same rdng books

[larssonk22]

what did he mean by "he who dies rich, dies in disgrace"?

[HeraldEvents]

Well... One can easily take it to be a paraphrase of the biblical quote, "It is easier fir a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven", no ??

[robbypoelstra]

maybe the person who was rich ... could have gave his money away to people who really need it before he died .. instead of taken his money with him in the grave ... just a thought....

[larssonk22]

I think you are correct

[cigar567]

One who dies rich (without enriching others)

,dies in disgrace.Because riches are not merely measured in terms of money ,they are measured in terms of true mind power ,one who fails to use this power to enrich others dies in disgrace leaving no more meaning to this world.

[Loupland]

i geuss it refers back to the beginning when he says ive seen milionaire die of lack of nutricion and poorman live in luxery.

[gottabmattyb]

If you die rich it means that you did not give enough - to be a servant to humanity is the key to everything in life. It's our most wonderful attribute as a species - because we have the potential to do good/bad/or just be complacent. It's a disgrace to die rich in the sense that you are not fulfilling your potential to serve. Money is a funny thing - people seem to have lost the right idea about it. Few people attain the correct understanding of it - Carnegie had it.

[lubenitza2004]

I think you are so right.

[alaskafilms]

He gave all his money away to libraries and other great causes. He knew he couldn't take it with him.

[Ryokushindo]

He refers to philantrophy, giving more and more as one's grows older.

[fearlessftw]

@Ryokushindo "Aid from Rockefeller and Carnegie to make race perfect"

[stevenstreets3]

In capitalist system of debt based currency, He who dies with the most uncollectable debt wins. If he died in debt giving to others everything he could he becomes a capitalist saint. And my debt load puts me in the hunt at the front of the pack.

[philomelodia]

Money can only be the useful drudge of things unmeasurably higher than itself. That is quite possibly the most profound quote I've heard from a rich man. All of these are good. Anyone who hasn't owes it to themselves to read the works this man commisioned Napoleon Hill to write. Think and Grow Rich and The Law Of Success. The first is about paperback size, the second is as big as a dictionary and both stress the power of the mind.

[RoscoMalosco]

Clever man.

[cojobo34]

"Concentrate all of your thought and energy upon the performance of your duties."

[sherwinjtb]

feels like a lesson of enlightenment hehe

[petedogfucker]

Any chance for subtitles or just simply seperate text of what exactly is said on the vid?

[jmar1973]

As relevant and profound today as it was when he said it,despite the fact that the world was vastly different in his day...

[aboxfulloftheused]

its so simple. yet so hard in this material world these days =\

[affluence8]

Hard is in your mind.. If you actually study economy it appears that things are much easier these days. We have a fast food at every corner. We have a walmart in every city. (low cost goods). Jobs literally at every corner and more. The Only thing in our way is us.- Be well.

[incongra]

Having recently read Carnegie's book "Triumphant Democracy", I wonder what he would make of present- day America. His deeply held belief in free and universal education would have him reviled as a "goddam socialist".

[singshispraises]

A moving piece.Well done!

[glamrockdj]

If only more "rich folk" felt the same way as Carnegie we might not have half the problems in the world.
