Look for the gold(positivity)

Andrew Carnegie came to America from Scotland as a young boy. He started out by doing odd jobs and ended up as one of the largest steel manufacturers in united states. At one time , he had 43 millionaires working for him. A million dollars is a lot of money today, but in the 1920 it was worth much more.

Someone once asked Mr.Carnegie how he dealt with people . Andrew Carnegie replied , "Dealing with people is a lot like digging for gold: When you go digging for an ounce of gold you have have to move tons of dirt . "But when you go digging, you don't go looking for dirt, you go looking for gold."

Andrew Carnegie's reply has a very important message. Though sometimes it may not be apparent there is something positive in every person and situation. We have to dig deep to look for the positive.
