Excerpt From the Self-Help Classic... Getting On

"THERE ARE TEN THOUSAND who can follow to one who can lead; but it is the man or woman who can step out of the crowd and do the unusual, the original, the individual thing, that wins. The man who would succeed today in any marked way must be bold, self-reliant, inventive, original.

The world makes way for the one with an idea. His wanted everywhere. There is little room for leaners, taggers, trailers. The world is looking as never before, for the man with original force, who leaves the beaten track and pushes into new fields; the physician, the surgeon, who dares to depart from the methods of those who have gone before him; the lawyer who conducts his case in an original way; the teacher who brings new ideas and methods into the schoolroom; the clergyman who has the courage to proclaim his message, the message that was given to him, and not that which was given to some other man who has put it into a book.

The force that is going to carry you to your goal is coiled up inside of you, in your energy, your pluck, your grit, your determination, your originality, your character. It does not exist in another, but lies within you, at your command.

The sooer you become disillusioned as to getting any great assistance outside of yourself, and fall back upon your own inherent force, the better.

It is a pitiable thing to go through the world borrowing other people's ideas, plans, methods; other people's judgment - running to this one and that for advice - never developing your own power, independence, self-reliance.

Don't be afraid of your own ideas; believe in yourself; assert your individuality.

When Admiral Dupont was making excuses to Admiral Farragut for not taking the city of Charleston, the stern admiral said, 'There is another reason you did not mention; you did not believe you could do it.'

The man who never believes he can do a thing that never was done before, never will do it. He must eliminate 'can't' from his dictionary, banish doubt from his vocabulary.

'Dare to go forward!' was Baron Rothschild's life motto, and it has been the maxim of all those who have left their mark on the world."
