Summits Of Success, How They Have Been Reached: With Sketches Of The Careers Of Some Notable Climbers (1902) - Tapa blanda

In presenting these studies of the ways to success and of the careers of numerous notable men who have pursued them, it has been considered well to adopt a form of subject-grouping which should in effect constitute a sketch-history of trade, industry, and commerce. The sketch is necessarily in miniature ;still it will be found to contain, it is hoped, fairly distinct outlines of the main features of the story. It is in all its aspects a record of great achievements from small beginnings in the developments of trade and enterprise as well as in the matter of individual progress. Such an arrangement has this advantage: it permits of a separate study of each of the leading avenues to success, so that not only can the student follow up the particular course on which he is most bent, but he can also institute comparisons between one route dndanother and weigh their relative merits. It would have been easier to have followed the older method of grouping the mental and moral characteristics of the men of the great careers; but, perhaps, a more practical purpose will have been served by letting the stories convey their lessons direct from the circumstances and conditions in which they were lived. In truth, the moral teaching is essentially the same in every instance. The men of good parts and good conduct gain the summits of success in all branches of human effort.
