A story from the latest issue of Radio Sai E-Journal

 

Looking for the Gold

 

As a young Scots boy, Andrew Carnegie came to America and started

doing odd jobs. He ended up as one of the largest steel

manufacturers in the United States. At one time he had 43

millionaires working for him. Several decades ago, a million dollars

used to be a lot of money; even today it is a lot of money. 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."

What is your focus?

 

Become a digger for gold. If you are looking for what is wrong with

people or with things, you will find many. What are you looking for?

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. Besides, we are so used to looking for what is wrong with

other people and situations, we forget to see what is right. Someone

once said that even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

 

Remember when you go looking for gold, you have to move tons of dirt

to get to an ounce of gold. But when you go looking, you don't go

looking for the dirt, you go looking for the gold.
