Andrew Carnegie was a man of great stature and poise. Or so they say, many people during the early 1900's probably thought of Carnegie as a robber baron and he indeed was, but there were many life-changing events that he had in his life. As a little boy he lived in Scotland, as a poor paupers son. But when he came over to the United .
States of America at the young age of 13, he would start a whole new life that would lead him right out of the poverty class and into the upper class. So far up in the class that if he were alive today he would have more money than Bill Gates would. He had so much at one point that he could have bought the American Government for seven hundred million dollars and still had money left to spend. .
.
Even though we all know Andrew Carnegie as one of the richest men in the world, he didn't just start at the top. He began his prosperous years in the business world as a journalist. His first major break would come when he began to write letters toe the editor of the "Pittsburgh Dispatch" and was said to have left an impression unlike any other. So he would continue on this career and his second big break would come, but this one after a lot more hard work and dedication. .
.
His second break was again much later in his life, but it did come, Carnegie became an extremely successful businessman as well as one of the richest, and his ideas and opinions were very meaningful because he was a man of great intellect. So without his hard work he would be just an ordinary man who walked the streets of your city. But his business was not one that you would expect an average man to start, but lets not forget that Carnegie was not an ordinary man, he started a steel mill. All this coming after he discovered in his findings that iron, the world's strongest metal, could be turned into steel by a simple process. So he saw something that not a single person saw, a fortune.
