Preface to the Self-Help Classic... Rising In The World
| "INSPIRATION TO CHARACTER-BUILDING and worthy achievement is the keynote of this book; its objective to arouse youth who are drifting without aim, to awaken dormant ambitions in those who have grown discouraged in the struggle for success, to encourage and stimulate to higher resolve those who are setting out to make their own way, with perhaps neither friendship nor capital other than a determination to get on in the world.
Nothing is so fascinating to a youth with high purpose, life, and energy throbbing in his young blood as stories of men and women who have brought great things to pass. Though these themes are as old as the human race, yet they are ever new and more interesting to the young than any fiction.
The cry of youth is for LIFE! More LIFE! The romance of achievement under difficulties, of obscure beginnings and triumphant ends; the story of how great men started, their struggles, their long waitings, amid want and woe, the obstacles overcome, the final triumphs; examples, which explode excuses, of men who have seized common situations and made them great, of those of average capacity who have succeeded by the use of ordinary means.
The author teaches that there are rewards and success for every youth under the American flag who has the grit to seize his chance and work his way to his own aim.
The books shows that it is the man with one unwavering aim who cuts his way through opposition and forges to the front; that in this electric age, where everything is push or be pushed, he who would succeed must hold his ground and push hard; that what are stumbling-blocks and defeats to the weak and vacillating, are but stepping-stones and victories to the strong and determined."
