Selected Quote From: How They Succeeded

"What lesson, Mr. Mills, do you consider it most needful for young people to learn?
The lesson of humility; - not in the sense of being servile or undignified, but in that of paying due respect to men who are their superiors in the way of experience, knowledge and position. Such a lesson is akin to that of discipline."

Excerpt From the Self-Help Classic... How They Succeeded

"THE GREAT INTEREST manifested by the life-stories of successful men and women, which have been published from time to time in the magazine Success, has actuated their production in book form.

Many of these sketches have been revised and rewritten, and new ones have been added. They all contain the elements that made men and women successful; and they are intended to show that character, energy, and an indomitable ambition will succeed in the world. In this land, where all men are born equal and have an equal chance in life, there is no reason for despair.

I believe that the ideal book for youth should deal with concrete examples; for that which is taken from real life is far more effective than that which is culled from fancy.

Character-building - its uplifting, energizing force, has been made the basic principle of this work.

To all who have aided me I express a grateful acknowledgement; and to none more than those whose life-stories are here related as a lesson to young people. I am confidant that the remarkable exhibit of successful careers made in this book – careers based on sound business principles and honesty – will meet with appreciation on the part of the reading public."
- Orison Swett Marden
