They have the flair to seek opportunities, take risks, and then afterwards, fulfill potentials that nobody else sees.

Those who pursue Horatio’s philosophy achieve success through hard work and dedication while those who pursue Carnegie’s philosophy achieve success by being very charismatic. Though both philosophies talk about gaining success, they are very different in their methods.
