Andrew Carnegie – Words of Wisdom

Jan 17th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | no comment »

Some of the best lessons I have learned in life come from people I never met.

I would like to share some of the ‘words of wisdom’ that I have picked up over the years.

Andrew Carnegie said: 

As I grow older I pay less attention to what men say, I just watch what they do.

(Gives new meaning to the do as I say, not as I do I used to hear.) andrew.carnegie.jpg

Concentration: put all of your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket.

(So much for multi-tasking) 

The average person puts only 25% of his energy into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few a far between souls who devote 100%.

(How much effort do you give to your work?) 

What’s your favorite quote? and why?
