Andrew Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie had an interesting take on a person's life.  This life view is called the Andrew Carnegie Dictum.

• Spend the first third of one's life getting all the educaiton one can.
• Spend the next third making all the money one can.
• Spend the last third giving it all away for worthwhile causes.

Such a philosophy merits, perhaps, some thought.
Andrew Carnegie wanted to be identified by the world as a "positivist."
