MINING FOR GOLD

I heard a powerful story that contains a principle that if you followed I guarantee will transform your life. If you are the CEO or the Sanitation Executive, this principle will catipult your career guaranteed. This is a true story involving oil tycoon Andrew Carnegie.

Word got out that Andrew Carnegie had 43 millionaires working for him at one time. An eager reporter had the opportunity to ask Andrew how he was able to afford to hire 43 millionaires. To which Andrew Carnegie replied that none of the men where millionaires when they began working for him.

After hearing this the reporter inquired how Andrew Carnegie was able to develope these men to the level that they where worth that much money to him. Here is where the POWERFUL PRINCIPLE comes in. Andrew Carnegie said that you develope people the same way you mine for gold. You go in expecting to have to move tons of dirt in order to find a few ounces of gold. You just have to keep in mind what it is that you are looking for.

If you take this same principle and apply it in your own life and career you will accomplish more than you ever thought possible. You have to learn to search for the gold in people and help them remove the dirt. Also, you have to remember that you usually will see much more dirt than you will gold, but the gold is worth a fortune.

I hope that this story will encourage you on your journey towards success and accomplishment on and off your job. If you would like more inspirational quotes and articles click here.
