Successful Folks, How They Win

Excerpt from Successful Folks, How They Win: Illustrated in the Carker of Eight Hundred Eminent Men Have chosen the style of anecdotal bio graphy, which Macaulay affirms is the true form of history - enforcing practical lessons by illustration and incidents, rather than by reasoning. I present the inside life of marked men that bears on their success. Incidents in the life of over five hundred eminent men, of all nationalities, illustrate the methods of winning. I have little to do with the fathers or grandfathers of successful people. I take famous folks as I find them, and show how they became so. From my standpoint men who fail have a successful side that is worth looking at. Much of my material has come from original sources. I have aimed to make a book, readable, racy, entertaining and of permanent value to young men who desire to win. I have not exhausted the role of successful people. These I describe are only selections or samples. A spoonful of wheat is as good as a carload, an ounce of ¿our, for body and whiteness, to a grain broker, is as good as a barrel, a thin slice from a quarter indicates the character of the meat.
