Introduction: "Our greatest glory never falls, but rises every time we fall." It’s not the story that makes men, but people like Andrew Carnegie, make history. "The small body of determined spirits, caused by an insatiable belief in their mission, can change the course of history." The same thing happens with Andrew, who had a decisive determination, born in a poor family to lead the 19th century, becoming a famous figure. He believes that "I like dreams of the future better than the past history." He dreamed of the future of the future and materialized it with hard work. Andrew Carnegie never puts out a figure in the history of the United States.
Biography: Andrew Carnegie - one of the famous figures of the XIX century. He was making history, not history, as Harry S. Truman said: “Study people, not historians.” He was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, but later moved to the United States. No one can touch his heights thanks to his industrialism, professionalism, scientist and activist, philosophy of life and publications. He was one of the highest philanthropists in this area, and in 1889 he published an article entitled “The Gospel of Wealth”, which brought great prosperity to the improvement of society. He was born into a poor family, but his relocation to the United States gave him more chances. He began as a telegraph and ended as a famous industrialist.
Early life: some people are born later, but they do everything in the best sense. Andrew Carnegie was one of those figures born in Dunfermline, Scotland, in the cottage on November 25, 1835, where one room was located. The only room - living room, bedroom and dining room. His name was taken in the name of his grandfather. He was born in a single room, but made the best use of his time. “I remember how bad it was. I remember that in my early years we had to grow and grow all our food, even our animals. And I remember that in my early life we didn't even have electricity. It was very, very hard, ”said Dolly Patron.
In 1836, his father, William Carnegie, moved into a larger house opposite Reed Park on Edgar Street. George Lauder, his uncle, introduced him to the writings of Robert the Bruce, Robert Burns, and William Wallace. His father suffered from difficult times, working as a handmade weaver, he moved to Allegheny, Pa., In 1848 to lead a better life. For the migration, Father Andrey had to take money. His first job was at the age of 13 as a reel boy, and he worked in a cotton factory for 12 hours, 6 days a week. The initial salary was only $ 1.20 per week, but William Carnegie, the father, tried his best to weave and sell bedding. "Life is a dream for the wise, a game for a fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor." In addition, his mother, Margaret Morrison Carnegie, sewed shoes to earn money.
He later became a telegrapher at the Ohio Telegraph Company at a cost of $ 2.50 per week. His journey truly begins here. He received free recognition of the theater as a benefit from this work. There he appreciated the work of Shakespeare. He encountered a lot of people in the company and made various connections. During the year, Andrew Carnegie was appointed and appointed by the operator. He had a special taste for learning, and he was reinforced by a library of 400 volumes, opened by Colonel James Anderson. He was an intellectual, economically developed, culturally developed, willing to work, a warning about upcoming events and perseverance for the performance of any task brought opportunities for him.
Railways: In 1853, Andrew Carnegie was appointed telegraph operator / secretary at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company Thomas Scott at a price of $ 4 per week. This occupation was vital for the subsequent success in his life. He believed that "in order to succeed, your desire for success must be greater than your fear of failure." He learned a lot about cost management and management, and Scott helped him a lot. In 1855, Scott helped Carnegie manage $ 500 for investments in Adam Express. He established close relations with the President of Pennsylvania J. Edgar Thomson and achieved great success in relation to stocks of iron, rails and bridges with them. He received a higher payment for these shares. His success was due to his continuous struggle, because he said: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that matters.”
Andrew Carnegis's mother asked him not to marry. She died in 1866, and Carnegie married Louise Whitfield. She was 20 years younger, but the couple had only a daughter, Margaret, who got her name from Carnegie's mother. Now Carnegie began to take part in the steel industry. Its main purpose was to produce steel at a lower price with efficiency. The price was automatically reduced, and steel was quickly adopted for bridges, buildings, beams, and railway lines. This increased production and revenue at the same level. They began to produce 2,000 tons of steel per day. By 1889, he owned a large part of the steel company, and his empire began to grow steadily. Later, Andrew Carnegie provided steel for a bridge across the Mississippi River, completed in 1874, signaled a discovery in the steel market.
Industrial: Andrew Carnegie was a matchless industrialist, since he found a steel company. By reducing costs and increasing production, he created a steel empire in the next few decades. All profits followed his path, and everything began with the production of steel, such as factories, transport and materials. His mission was to create a new company, Carnegie Steel. Andrew played a vital role in consolidating salary protest rallies and broke wage locks. He guarded the plant to continue working, and the strike ended with him. Morgan later acquired the $ 480 million Carnegie Steel Mill, making Carnegie the richest man in the world. He became a famous figure of the 19th century. Brian Tracy said: “All successful people — men and women — are great dreamers. They imagine what their future is, the ideal in all respects, and then they work every day on their distant vision, this goal or purpose. ” We can also say that there is a law in which successful people always earn money, but not the people who receive the money became famous. Such people bring success in everything they do.
Among the 25 richest people: when the steel company was in full bloom, he sold it to Morgan at $ 480 million and took place among the 25 richest people in the world. At that time he was number 4, but later he bought gold bonds with this money and took them home, received 5% of annual coupons. He placed these bonds in a bank in New Jersey, and he profited from them. Thus, it became the second number for the richest people of that time. If you value money, you will realize that in recent days $ 480 will be $ 310 billion. The value of dollars is growing day by day. His income value is unmatched for consideration now.
Partnership with workers: he founded his companies not because of stock exchange corporations, but because of partnership, as we find in his philosophy that “the Partner for Capital should be the rule for a person who makes his business experience, who works in the mill his mechanical skills, the company, as both shareholders and equally interested in the success of their joint efforts. ” He had an exceptional talent for organizational management in his personality, and he attracted young people to him. His work forced his steel company to mention and valued at $ 400 million when it was sold to Morgan in 1901. His success was hidden in his best relationship, as George MacDonald said: "This is probably more of a compliment than love." He became one of the richest people in the United States after selling his steel company.
A young entrepreneur: when he worked on the railway, he took the initiative to invest money in a new company. He wanted to make railway sleeping cars. He tried his best to cover new bridges, rails and locomotives. In 1865, the Keystone Bridge Company was under the name of Andrew Carnegie, and he organized it in the best sense. As a young entrepreneur, he played a vital role, and all workers were under his influence. A young and comfortable worker, he also commanded steel works in 1873. He was an army of one man and he led everything.
Philanthropist: After selling steel, Carnegie Carnegie went out of business and dedicated his life to philanthropy. He wrote the essay "The Gospel of Wealth" in 1889. He said that the rich have a “moral obligation to distribute their money in ways that contribute to the welfare and happiness of the common man. The man who dies is so rich dies for fear. ”In this passion, Andrew Carnegie ended up allocating his money of 350 million dollars for distribution and distribution in various activities. He financed his money to create 2500 libraries. He donated 7,600 organs to churches. He created organizations for research in science, world peace, education, and other reasons. He also allocated $ 1.1 million to the legendary Carnegie Hall in New York to establish it in 1891. He was really a philanthropist in his life.
Museum of Andrew Carnegie's Birthplace: A warm welcome for guests at home Andrew Carnegie, who gave the name to the museum, where any visitor can find interactive exhibits, demonstrations, weaving, exhibitions, children's events, a garden, a delightful cafe, a unique museum shop and space for events. The life of the 19th century was nothing more than a blessing to him, and he became a well-known person.
Scientist and activist: Andrew Carnegie spent 20 years as a scientist and activist in his business career, and materialized intentions were realized. He forced Matthew Arnold to his friend and with the humorous Mark Twain his partner in the same arena. He became a prominent writer in his company and wrote various essays. Carnegie preferred to be a scholar and created a public library in Dunfermline in 1879 worth $ 40,000. He also created a laboratory at the New York Medical Center, and now he calls Carnegie's laboratory. In 1881, he took the initiative to enjoy a trip with his mother to the UK coach and enjoyed them. His mother also founded the library in Dunfermline. Andrew clearly mentioned everything in a true sense, as Nnamdi Azikiwe said: “Originality is the essence of true science. Creativity is the soul of a true scientist. ” He acted as a close bond between English-speaking people to unite them. Later, his brother Thomas died at the age of 43, but his success continued. Despite the fact that he was famous, he still became a controversial figure after returning from a UK tour. He bought various magazines and wrote “American Four in Hand in the UK” after returning from a tour. His book caused controversy against him in the UK, and his economic progress was now shaken back and forth. The book was sold in higher quantities, and 40,000 copies were sold in the United States. He was known as a prolific writer.
Anti-imperialism: Carnegie was against British imperialism, and he strongly opposed the American colonies. He wanted the Philippines to be an independent country. He struggled to negotiate the independence of the Philippines. When the war began between Spain and America, the United States bought the Philippines at $ 20 million from Spain. Andrew Carnegie was against it, and he himself offered the Philippines $ 20 million so that they could be free from the United States, giving them the money. They can gain their independence. When nothing came in response to this offer, he took part in the anti-imperialist league to play a vital role in freeing other countries from imperialism. His role in the independence of the Philippines cannot be abolished, since he was the first figure in this. He was really a famous figure of this strike. He wanted the Philippines to be free and live on their own. He wanted everything to be right, as everyone would like.
The debate about life: Carnegie is accused of participating in the Johnstown stream, which came thanks to the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club right on top of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. His club caused flooding, in which more than 2,209 people died, and he was accused of this, along with other 50 members. It was mainly installed on the canal, but it led to a flood in the city, which killed countless people.
Andrew also created a dam. This dam was 72 feet high, and its length was 931 feet. Over time, he leaked and was clogged with straw and mud.
In addition, the owner also sold 3 iron pipes that control the release of water. Such problems arose, and he paid some attention to this, but did not fully pay full attention to it. Problems arose and were raised to the head of Cumbria. Unusual snowmelt, height reduction and repair work led to the dam's death. The combination of these problems causes the dam to break down and flow into the valley on May 31, 1889. The valley was under a revolutionary flood, and because of this, more than 2,209 people died. This became a controversy for him, which led to the loss of his business from steel and others. His business was badly damaged, and total production was reduced to nothing. He believes in a quote by Richard M. Nixon: "If a person wants to be a leader and is not contradictory, then he never stood for anything." Contradiction plays an important role in the progress and advancement of a person’s life. If you make no mistakes, how can you get the right solution? His wrong decisions made him the ideal person to give a good account of himself.
Philosophy: the philosophy of life of Andrew Carnegie to give money for various reasons. He donated $ 350,695,654 for various reasons in his life. He stayed away from various religious circles and made himself a well-organized and well-known person. He wanted to be known as the "positivist." He never wanted to be called a religious man, because he believed: “There is no need for temples, there is no need for complex philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples, my philosophy is kindness. ” His influence on life affects our lives in the best sense. The maxim of his philosophy was:
• Gave the first third of life to education.
• Do the next third job to collect and collect money.
• Spend the last third of your life, giving away all the money that is worth mentioning or worth.
We can notice that he did all this. Anyone who likes to be a creative, earning and famous person in the world should follow his philosophy. I also recommend his philosophy in my life. First, get a full education as much as possible, earn money and save it as much as possible, and finally, give everything you need to live a worthy life. Such writings in history are somewhat distant from each other, and Andrew Carnegie is one of the best examples of the past.
Publications: Andrew Carnegie often participated in world libraries and loved the education that he could get. His publications are inconsistent and were useless in his works. He believed that "Unpopular in high school is not just a reason for book publications." He wrote various books and essays under his own name and allowed me to clearly and frankly count each of them.

Family and marriage: Carnegie's mother lived with him until her death in 1886. His life was greatly influenced by his life. He married at the age of 51, after the death of his mother, who was against the marriage, with Louise Whitfield, 20 years younger, the daughter of a merchant in New York. They had one child named after the mother, Margaret in 1897. They lived in a Manhattan mansion in the winter and used to spend the summer in Scotland in their 28,000 acres. He knew that "the love of family and the admiration of friends are much more important than wealth and privileges." He allowed a great matrimonial life and did not know about his duties. He played his part with his best half, and in his life he gained a lot of popularity. His wife was completely satisfied with him, regardless of age difference. They led quite happy lives.
Andrew Carnegie married Witfield on April 22, 1887 at her family’s home. At that time, the age difference was very important. Whitfield was 30 years old, and Carnegie was 51 years old. As a marriage gift, Whitfield received an annual income of $ 20,000 and a house for living. После десятилетия брака они получили только ребенка, а именно Маргарет, названного по имени матери Эндрю.
Заключительные годы: Карнеги умер, так как Шекспир сказал «таким образом с поцелуем, что я умираю» в Ленокс, штат Массачусетс, с помощью бронхиальной пневмонии 11 августа 1919 года. Он отдал 350 695 653 долларов в своей жизни, а его останки были предоставлены на благотворительные цели, фонды и пенсионеры. Его последний мавзолей был в Сонном Пустоте кладбище в Северном Тэрритаун, Нью-Йорк. Ему было 83 года, и он потратил свою жизнь так, как он жаждал. Его запомнят в 19-ом столетии благодаря его тяжелой работе и другим причинам. Его нельзя отрицать всякий раз, когда придет имя 19-го века.
