Mr.Carnegie's request I analyzed hundreds of well-known men, many of whom admitted
that they had accuntulated their vast fortunes through the aid of the Carnegie secret;
among these men were:
亨利·福特 HENRY FORD(美国汽车大亨)
詹姆士·希尔 JAMES J. HILL(美国铁路巨子)
乔治·伊士曼 GEORGE EASTMAN(彩色冲印专家、美国实业家及慈善 家)
约翰·洛克菲勒 JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER(美国石油大王)
托马斯·爱迪生 THOMAS A. EDISON(美国发明家)
伍德罗·威尔逊 WOODROW WILSON(美国第28 任总统)
西奥多·罗斯福(美国总统)
詹宁士·柏班克(美国参议员及园艺家)
威廉·柏莱思 WILLIAM JENNIGS BRAYA(美国政治家及律师，曾三度为美国 总统
候选人)
亚历山大·贝尔傅士 DR.ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL(电话发明者)
威尔伯·莱特(飞机发明者)
这些人名代表的只不过是一小部分，足以征明知晓卡内基 法则的知名人士岂只数
百，他们在理财方面和其他方面的成 就，皆因了解并且运用了卡内基法则而获致，
并随即攀上人生 的高峰。时至今日，我也还没见过有谁灵机既动、且运用了该 秘
诀之后，却没有在自己选定的行业里大放异彩的。’我也从未 目睹有哪一个人，能
够在这些条件尚未完全的情形下，累积到 什么财富，或是能自己鹤立鸡群的。由这
两个事实，我下定结 论，这则要诀法门，比一般人所受的任何教育都来得重要，这
个秘诀高招是任何一位想委下定决心的人都不可或缺的认知。 教育究竟是什么?这
个问题我会详加解答。
These names represent but a small fraction of the hundreds of well-known Americans
whose achievements, financial and otherwise, prove that those who understand and apply
the Carnegie secret reach high stations in life. I have never known anyone who was
inspired to use the secret who did not achieve noteworthy success in his chosen calling. I
have never known any person to distinguish himself, or to accumulate riches of any
consequence, without possession of the secret. From these two facts I draw the
conclusion that the secret is more important as a part of the knowledge essential for
self-determination, than any which one receives through what is popularly known as
"education." What is education anyway? This has been answered in full detail.
