Andrew Carnegie
How will you help to change the world? The Old Testament states that you should give away 10% of what you earn to those in need. Some people have flipped that Biblical guideline around, living on 10% and giving away 90%. Andrew Carnegie was one of those people. He was personally responsible for building 2,800 libraries in the United States and Great Britain. In addition, he made it his personal mission to die penniless.
