Preface From the Self-Help Classic... The Secret Of Achievement

"THE ANCIENT ROMANS placed the busts and statues of heroes in their houses, in order that their children might constantly have illustrious examples before them, and thus learn to imitate the virtues that make men heroic.

The object of this volume is to hold up to youth and those of all ages ideals of noble character, to illustrate the qualities essential to lofty achievement; to stimulate, encourage, and inspire them to be and to do something in the world; to teach them how to acquire practical power, and how to succeed in life.

“The young,” says Timothy Titcomb, “have been preached to, lectured to, taught, exhorted, advised. They have seldom been talked to”

The author has endeavored to talk to his readers; has tried by means of stirring examples to fill them with fresh incentives to earnest, useful living, - to spur the sluggish to greater activity. He not only gives stories of men and women who have done something of worth or note, but aims to point out the secret of their achievement; to show the cause and give an analysis of their successes and failures; to explain why such a man was great, - what special traits led to his success, - what ideals inspired him.

The book is intended to show that the secret of every great success has been indomitable resolution and earnest application; to point out how small and mean and common most lives are, in comparison with what they might be.

It teaches youth how to meet life, to dare to live in accordance with a noble creed, assuring them that all things serve a brave soul; and that the world always listens to the man that has a will.

The book aims to furnish encouragement and cheer for those who , even late in life, are anxious to make up, by self-instruction, for the deficiency of a neglected education, and to become larger, broader, truer, and nobler men and women.

The book urges the youth to make living; but to remember that there is one thing better than making a living, - MAKING A LIFE!"

- Orison Swett Marden
