安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
Unfortunately Kloman and Phipps soon differed with Miller about the business and forced him out. Being convinced that Miller was unfairly treated, I united with him in building new works. These were the Cyclops Mills of 1864. After they were set running it became possible, and therefore advisable, to unite the old and the new works, and the Union Iron Mills were formed by their consolidation in 1867. I did not believe that Mr. Miller's reluctance to associate again with his former partners, Phipps and Kloman, could not be overcome, because they would not control the Union Works. Mr. Miller, my brother, and I would hold the controlling interest. But Mr. Miller proved obdurate and begged me to buy his interest, which I reluctantly did after all efforts had failed to induce him to let bygones be bygones. He was Irish, and the Irish blood when aroused is uncontrollable. Mr. Miller has since regretted (to me) his refusal of my earnest request, which would have enabled the pioneer of all of us to reap what was only his rightful reward--millionairedom for himself and his followers.

白话
克洛曼和菲普斯因生意分歧把米勒挤出公司。卡内基认为米勒受了不公平对待,便与他合建新厂,即1864年的独眼巨人厂。新厂运转后,合并旧厂变得可行,1867年联合铁厂成立。卡内基以为米勒会放下旧怨,因为新公司不由菲普斯和克洛曼控制,米勒、卡内基兄弟将持控制权。但米勒固执,求卡内基买下他的股份,卡内基勉强同意。米勒后来后悔,否则本可成为百万富翁。核心是:合伙中公平对待受委屈者很重要,但情绪可能让人错失机会。
