39、a telegraph messenger boy. At work, his superiors (上级) were impressed by his abilities and willingness to work hard. In 1853, he gained an office job at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

40、e responsibility. At the same time, Carnegie loved reading very much and made use of every opportunity to visit the library. He read widely on all subjects, particularly literature.Carnegie now began to save a little money and, with the help of his employer, began to make some successful investments

41、. He invested in the iron industry and eventually set up in business himself, owning several iron and steel plants. This was where he made his fortune. By the 1890s, the Carnegie Steel Company was the biggest and most profitable business in the world.Carnegie had always believed that the pursuit(追求)

42、of wealth was never an end in itself. In his view, successful, wealthy people should re-distribute their wealth for the benefit of everyone in society. True to his word, in 1901, at the age of 66, he retired from business and devoted the rest of his life to charity work. (奉献于慈善工作).Carnegies lack of

43、formal education and his poor family background clearly didnt put barriers in the way of success.

62、ot only the joy of success，but the frustration of failure as well. Different students may take the failures with different attitudes. Some will be in low spirits and lose heart. They may no longer study as hard as before. But most students take a positive attitude towards it. They encourage themselv

63、es to be self-confident. In most cases, the students will turn to the experienced teachers and advisers, who can help them out with their own life stories or their experience. These students will benefit a lot from the failure by regaining the courage and the confidence in the end. In my opinion, “a fall in pit is a gain in wit”. Failure is the mother of success. Every great man failed many times before they succeeded eventually. So lets smile in the face of failure and success will be waiting for us round the corner.
