Many have ascribed Andrew Carnegie, the celebrated nineteenth century industrialist from Scottland, with carrying the axiom’s message to America. Examination shows that the maxim is antiquated and not interesting to any one nation or culture. In Italian it is “dalle stalle alle stelle alle stalle” (“from slows down to stars to slows down”). The Spanish state, “quien no lo tiene, lo hance; y quien lo tiene, lo deshance” (“who doesn’t have it, does it, and who has it, abuses it”). Indeed, even non-western societies, including the Chinese, have a comparable maxim, “rice paddy to rice paddy.” Shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves is an adage that portrays human conduct’s characteristic inclination regarding making long haul families as money related disappointments.
The hypothesis of the axiom is that the original beginnings of in a rice paddy, implying that two individuals with a proclivity for each other met up and worked from the base to make a monetary fortune. The first era normally fabricates their riches without rolling out huge improvements to their qualities, customs or way of life. The subsequent age moves to the city, grasps the most blazing styles, disparages the drama, runs huge associations and the fortune levels. The third era, with no involvement with building or looking after riches, devours the money related fortune, and the fourth era returns to the rice paddy. This is the exemplary detailing of the shirtsleeves precept, which stays as evident today as it has demonstrated to be all through recorded mankind’s history.
