Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

- Latest Review: Truth and Evil by G. Edward Martin
Sure there was Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller and other pillars of industry, but no one compares to the OG American inventor Ben Franklin. I don't know how he did financially, but his contributions to science have always been amazing. Isn't every school kid first enamored with science picturing him getting electrocuted with his key and kite?
I do wish that Elon and Bezos would direct more of their money into engineering that can reverse climate change. Sure it was great not having to shovel much this winter, but the floods and horrible events happening worldwide have to reversed. Musk is throwing his efforts into escaping to Mars. How about saving the rest of us stranded on earth? I'm sure there is money to be made in it.

I like Andrew Carnegie and his imprenditorial spirit. He changed the way transportation works. He managed to make a fortune even if railway is not as important as it is in other countries.
Book allow you to fully explore a topic and immerse yourself in a deeper way than most media today. Mark Zuckerberg.

- Latest Review: How to be a SuperStar Salesperson by Audri White
I am currently reading "How to Own Your Mind" by Napoleon Hill, where he is interviewing Andrew Carnegie. I do most certainly admire both of these men. They were pioneers.
