Preface From the Self-Help Classic... Talks With Great Workers

"NOTHING IS MORE FASCINATING than the romance of reality in worthy achievement under difficulty, than contrasting pictures of obscure beginnings and triumphant endings, than stirring stories of strenuous endeavor and final victory.

These inspiring narratives, many of which have appeared in �Success,� have frequently proved turning points in the lives of ambitious youths striving against iron circumstances. They have caused many a dull boy and girl to determine to be and to do something in the world. This is but another proof of the old theory that concrete illustrations are most effective in point morals and shaping conduct.

In response to repeated requests the author has selected from �Success� those life stories which have proved most helpful to its readers, and has added thereto new and helpful material, combining the whole in a book intended for the youth of all ages.

In choosing the illustrations the formation of character, the application of industry and will-power, and the use of persistence and thoroughness have been kept constantly in mind. The author sincerely trusts that there are young people who, after reading these true tales, which explode the excuses of those who think they have �no chance� in life, will be encouraged to start out and duplicate them.

Key discussions are plentiful from many of today�s greatest business men. Regarding thoughts on success, we hear �Any man is successful who does well whatever comes to his hand, and who works to improve himself so that he may do it better. The man with the ideal, struggling to carry it out, is the successful man. Of course, there are all grades of ideals, and the man with the highest, given the proportionate energy, is the most successful. The world makes way for that kind of young man or woman.�

The aim of every youth starting out should be to do something worth doing, honestly. Get wealth, if it is gotten in the course of an honorable public service. I think, however, the best thing to get is the means of doing good, and then doing it. It is the most satisfactory aim I know of."
