Introduction
No apology is needed for presenting this famous lecture very early in this series for the perusal of business students. Rather may we congratulate ourselves and our readers on the privilege we have of using and studying Mr. Carnegie's words of practical wisdom. For there is a world of wisdom in what he has to say to young men about their careers and their conduct in business life.
Mr. Carnegie occupies a unique position in American business history. He is the one American business man par excellence who has shown us how to retire from business gracefully and enjoy life in retirement. In this he has set an example worthy of emulation. For there is nothing more absurd in the business creed than the belief quite commonly accepted that a business man should die in the harness
and that no man can be happy in retirement after an active business life. The trouble is that few men know how to retire gracefully and happily, because they have not prepared themselves by cultivation of the mind for congenial occupation of their leisure by avocations—call them hobbies, if you will—that serve as a substitute for the cares and responsibilities of business.
In his retirement Mr. Carnegie is well employed, and the world has been enriched by his career both before and since he retired from active participation in the great steel industry. He divides his time nowadays between his native land and the country of his adoption, in which he gained his wealth and lasting fame. He came to this country a poor boy, having borrowed the money for his passage from Scotland. He toiled hard for his start in business and made his money largely by his wonderful judgment of men and skill in the selection of his lieutenants. Many of these young men too—became millionaires under his leadership, and some of them remain today at the top of the ladder of American industry But Mr. Carnegie worked and worked hard. His life has long been an open book to the American public, and few there are who do not wish the Laird of Skibo
well in the happy enjoyment
