As a young Scots boy, Andrew Carnegie came to America and started doing odd jobs. He ended up becoming one of the largest steel manufacturers in the United States. At one time he had 43 millionaires working for him. Someone asked Mr. Carnegie how he dealt with people? Andrew Carnegie replied, "Dealing with people is like digging gold: When you go digging for an ounce of gold, you have to move tons of dirt to get an ounce of gold. But when you go digging, you don't go looking for the dirt, you go looking for the gold."

Andrew Carnegie's reply has a very important message. There is something positive in every person and every situation. Sometimes we have to dig deep to look for the positive because it may not be apparent. Never lose hope till you attain success
