38、 day from age 50 to 70, and 600 IU above 70.Magnesium is also important at this age because it can be of some help. Load up on spinach, peanuts, black beans, brown rice, and sea bass. Similarly, vitamin B-6, found in garbanzo beans, sunflower seeds, and avocado, can help with fluid retention. Other

Carnegies father came to America when Andrew was tw
44、elve, and his brother, Thomas, was five. Arriving in New York in 1848, the Carnegies settled in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania Allegheny City provided Carnegies first job, as a bobbin boy in a cotton factory, working for 1.20 a week. At 15, Carnegie became a telegraph messenger boy in Pittsburgh. Carn
45、egies next job was as a railroad clerk, working for the Pennsylvania Railroad. He worked his way up the ladder, through his dedication and honest desire to succeed, to become train dispatcher and then division manager. At this time, young Carnegie, age 24, had already made some small investments tha
46、t laid the foundations of his what would be tremendous fortune. One of these investments was the purchase of stock in the Woodruff Sleeping Car Company.In 1864, Carnegie entered the iron business, but did not begin to make steel until years later. In 1873, he built the Edgar Thomson works in Braddoc

This act from Carnegie is fitting with one of his most famous quotations, “Put all of your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.“ Th

Morgans United States Steel Corporation in 1901 for 400 million, which would be a little over 4 billion today!After retiring, Carnegies fortune was estimated to be as large as half a billion dollars

Although ironic, this man of great fortune strongly believed in the merits of poverty for the development of character and work ethic, and determined that wealthy men should not leave their fortunes to their children, but
