"Read yourself into a fortune".
For people like me, who at first would be asking, "who's this man to be featured here or talked about?", go on and finish my article. If my lead sentence doesn't catch your attention, I don't what else could. Anyway, of all photographs of this man that I can choose from the Internet, I decided pick this chromographic one. It is, as a matter, of fact an old canvas by Luis Mora. It is colorful and it appealed to me compared to the other more common sepia ones.
Centuries ago when Industrial Era started, many articles in magazines, books or tabloids would attract readers about a lot of "How to's". For me, Industrial Era still goes on. When I'd look up into Google and start typing the word "How", there goes a long drop down list, like "How to tie a tie". Funny.
And in our persevering efforts to look for money in all sorts of ways, from establishing your own shop or selling your handcrafts, there fabricated all types of media that would attract people from buying secrets or formula on how to earn MORE money. Here in my hands is a book, entitled "THINK & GROW RICH", and is based from the previous famed book of Napoleon Hill, "LAW OF SUCCESS". This book is said to represent the distilled wisdom of distinguished men of great wealth and achievement. Andrew Carnegie's magic formula for success was the direct inspiration for this book. Carnegie, an old Scotsman who was described to be canny and lovable, disclosed it to Hill decades ago when he was but a boy. Carnegie not only made himself a multi-millionaire, but he made millionaires of more than a score of men to whom he shared his secret.
I've touched this book more than a month ago but I still haven't finished even a quarter of the book, due to my hectic schedule at day and my early sleep time brought about by my psychiatric medicines. In spite of it, I still have that whole cloud of mystery towards the man called Andrew Carnegie which I developed since I heard his unfamiliar name. Andrew. Carnegie. Certainly, you guys can say I'm not so good with trivia of history or economics or any field that might mention his name. To a young Filipina girl like me, his name alienates me.
So after procrastinating for too long, this 6th day of March, fresh from hot shower and I just opened my iPad after ages, my draft on this article obviously showed my incomplete work, implying my classic procrastination and unproductivity. Finally, it kind of amazed me why now had I been able to search up his name, not on the library, but on Google which has always been readily accessible. Damn it, Denniel. Almost all sources from the Internet says that this man is, in fact, a self-made tycoon and one of the most wealth businessmen of the 19th century. He owned Carnegie Steel Corporation, the largest of its kind in the world, which he has opened in 1889. Those being said, he is an industrialist and a philanthropist.
There, people! Now we are one step ahead about him.
Back to my real damn procrastination. I still cannot give a review about the book. It's so damn special, yes, but my laziness is rather stronger. But I won't let you down. I'd spill more about the knowledge I'd be squeezing soon from the book... when I got the mood to continue reading it. Believe me, guys, I love reading but for now I'm busier taking over my Mom's business... just an eldest-kid-task. But if you can't wait, you guys can purchase the book yourself. Mine was bought by Mom for five dollars from a Chinese entrepreneur, specifically an Amway networker. Don't even ask about it! Imma say buy for now 💋
