Andrew Carnegie—the King of Steel(钢铁),was born in 1835, in Scotland. In 1848, his family moved to America to look for a better chance for making money. Andrew Carnegie had a few years’ schooling. He worked from an early age.

In the early 1870s, Carnegie built his first steel company with others. Over the next few years, he built his own steel industry in the US, and became one of the wealthiest men in America.

Carnegie believed that people should win success through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the rich should use their money for the improvement and development of the society. He didn’t agree to always provide help for the poor. He thought it was important to provide educational chances to allow the poor to help themselves.

His more contributions(贡献) to society include the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh. It has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also built a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other contributions to society are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to develop understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to provide money for scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.

Few Americans have been left not touched by Andrew Carnegie’s kindness. His contributions of more than five million dollars built 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the public library system that we all enjoy today.
