Andrew Carnegie， the self-made philanthropist
安德鲁·卡内基：自力更生的富一代暨大慈善家
As a Scottish immigrant in the 19th century， Carnegie arrived in America as a poor teenager and worked his way through the ranks， starting with a daily 12-hour job changing spools. He eventually made a fortune as an investor during the Civil War， including a single $40，000 investment in the oil-rich Story Farm， which earned him $1 million in dividends by the end of the year. After the war， he launched Carnegie Steel Corporation， which he later sold to J.P.Morganfor $480 million. He increased his wealth and fame with his writing，including his“Gospel of Wealth”describing the philanthropic responsibilities of the self-made rich， and he became well-known for his own philanthropy， including millions of dollars of donations to the New York Public Library， the establishment of the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh （Carnegie-Mellon University today）， and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
19世紀时，卡内基作为苏格兰移民来到美利坚，那时的他还是一个穷酸小青年;从一份每天12小时更换线轴的工作开始，他一步一步逆袭走上人生赢家之路。最终，在美国南北战争期间，他作为一名投资者发了大财，这其中包括投资价值40，000美金的储油丰富的Story Farm，一年之后这笔投资就让卡内基获得了一百万美金的分红。战后他成立了卡内基钢铁公司，之后以4.8亿美元的价格卖给了J.P.摩根。此外，卡内基还通过写作出书不断斩获名利，包括著名的《财富的福音》，在书中卡内基讲述了“富一代”们的慈善责任，从此他也开始因自己的慈善事业闻名。他不仅向纽约公共图书馆捐赠百万美金，还成立了匹兹堡卡内基工学院（今天的卡内基梅隆大学;译者注：卡内基梅隆大学是一所位于美国宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的大学，其前身卡内基理工学院与梅隆工业研究院于1967年合并后成立卡内基梅隆大学）和卡内基国际和平基金会。
