"You must capture and keep the heart of the original and supremely able man before his brain can do its best"

- Andrew Carnegie

About this Quote

In this quote, Andrew Carnegie stresses the significance of catching the heart of a highly capable individual before their brain can genuinely stand out. He suggests that the heart, or emotions, must be won over and nurtured in order for the mind to reach its complete potential. This might indicate building a strong relationship with the person, getting their trust and loyalty, and understanding their motivations and enthusiasms. Only then can their brain be completely engaged and concentrated on attaining achievement. Carnegie's words remind us that success is not just about intelligence and skill, but also about getting in touch with and inspiring the hearts of those around us.
