Look for the goodness in people

Andrew Carnegie and his family were not rich when they came to America from Scotland. Andrew was just a young boy then. He picked up odd jobs to add to the family income and ultimately became one of the largest steel manufacturers in the United States of America. At one time, he had 43 millionaires working for him. A million dollars is a lot of money today, but in the 1920s it was worth much much more.

One of the reasons for Andrew Carnegie’s success was man-management. He knew how to deal with people and bring out the best in his employees. He explained his approach thus: “Dealing with people is a lot like digging for gold. You have to remove tons of earth to get an ounce of gold. But do you look for the earth. No, You look for the gold.”

It is the same thing with people. One has to look for their positive attributes and use them for one’s own benefit.

EVERY PERSON HAS SOME GOOD IN HIM. ONE HAS ONLY TO LOOK FOR IT.
