Looking for Dirt or Gold?

Andrew Carnegie, America's first great industrialist, nearly 100 years ago had 43 millionaires working for him - an unheard-of occurrence in those days.  A reporter asked him how he managed to hire 43 millionaires.  Carnegie responded that none of them were millionaires when he hired them but observed that, "You develop millionaires the way you mine gold.  You expect to move tons of dirt to find an ounce of gold, but you don't go into the mine looking for the dirt—you go in looking for the gold."
