Resume of Dale Carnegie:

In 1904, after graduating from high school, Carnegie studied at Warrensburg State Normal College in Missouri. By this time, the family had sold the farm and moved near the college. Carnegie could not afford the cost of living in the city, so he lived at home and went to school on horseback every day. He is one of the five or six students among the 600 students in the school who cannot afford to live in the town. Although he received a full scholarship, he still had to work around to make up for the lack of tuition.

Carnegie found that the college debates and speech contests were very attractive. The names of the winners were not only widely known, but also regarded as heroes of the college. This is the best chance to become famous and successful.

But he had no talent for speaking. He participated in 12 competitions and failed repeatedly. Thirty years later, when talking about the failure of his first speech, Carnegie said half-jokingly: "Yes, although I did not find old shotguns and similar deadly things, I did think of it at the time. Suicide.

In 1906, Dale Carnegie won the LeBardie Young Speaker Award for a speech entitled "Memories of Childhood". This was his first successful attempt. It still exists in the school journal of Wallensburg State Teachers College.
