Preface From the Self-Help Classic...
The Young Man Entering Business

"A YOUNG MAN entering a business career faces innumerable problems. It is the time in his life when he most needs the counsel of wise and experienced heads. Not only must he study himself and his capabilities, seek his proper line of work, and make a choice life-long in its effect, but he must also study the mistakes of his predecessors and competitors. To the inexperienced youth, this is so complex a task that too often he avoids it, and strikes out on his own untried and ill-formed plans, only to meet with disaster.

Thousands of young men fail to get on in business and never know the cause, because no one ever tells them. They cannot see that their business is declining because of lack of system, or of attention to details. They have become so blinded by familiarity with their store, factory, or office that they cannot see the gradual decline in energy, the lowering of standards, the dry rot which is causing a general deterioration in themselves and in everything about them.

The author has tried to show the young man that the difference between ‘pretty good’ and ‘excellent’, between low and high ideals, measure the difference between a mediocre career and a superb success. He has tried to show that it is an easy thing to be a nobody, but a very difficult thing to be somebody. He has urged that the greatest investment a young man can make is in himself – that an education and self-culture pay; that health, good manners, cheerfulness and a genuine interest in others are great success factors; that character is the best kind of capital, giving credit, confidence, and happiness.

He has tried to show the boy that while seizing an opportunity may lead to success, it will only make him ridiculous if he is not prepared for it. It is the Divine hunger for growth, for perpetual enlargement, that is worthwhile.

He has tried to show the boy how to choose upwards, how to find his right place, and how to keep it. He has held that a vocation is not so much a machine for turning out money as for turning out men, that business life is a great school for human development. "
