The fair value of success




What was the enormous success of Andrew Carnegie? He was called the King Community, but in fact the steel could not understand anything and had him under hundreds of men far more profound than he on the subject. But he knew how to deal with his fellows. Already as a child had clearly demonstrated his talent for organizing and head, and ten years had noticed the importance for a man his name. One day he had donated a rabbit in a short time, gave a large brood of bunnies, but he did not have what to feed them. What did then? He said all the children of the surrounding area that if they had brought plenty of grass was baptized in the rabbits with their names in sign of gratitude. The plan succeeded marvelously, and Carnegie did not forget ever. Many years later when Carnegie Coaches and fought among themselves for supremacy in a business of wagon bed, the king of steel remembered the story of the rabbits and faced Pullmann evening: "Good evening, Mr. Pullman, and I think that we are two idiots to fight as we do. " 
"Whether you intend to say?" Pullman said. Then he explained what the Carnegie had in mind, the two companies merge into one. Pullman listened attentively, but it was not very convinced. "And as the new company?" he asked at the end. Carnegie promptly: "Company of the Pullman sleeping car." Pullman's face brightened with joy: "Come to me and again!" And the deal was concluded to the satisfaction of both parties. 
And now we just say "we lost Coach "..... but that's another story.
