Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. Recommended reading by Charles T. Munger in Poor Charlie's Almanack. Complete 1926 edition of MEN AND RUBBER by Harvey S. Firestone. Here Firestone puts to words what made his company a success, how to avoid misleading wisdom, and some of his personal insights on living. Why was he in business? "Business is made up of opportunities for great sacrifices and great accomplishments.""A man may keep very busy indeed without doing any thinking at all, and the easy course-the course of least resistance-is to keep so busy that there will be no time left over for thought. Almost every man tries to dodge thought or to find a substitute for it. We try to buy thoughts ready-made and guaranteed to fit, in the shape of systems installed by experts. We try to substitute discussion for thought by organizing committees; a committee may function very well indeed as a clearing house for thoughts, but more commonly a committee organization is just an elaborate means of fooling one's self into believing that a spell spent in talking is the same as a spell spent in thinking."All students of thought should get this historic book. This 1926 edition is provided in a slim volume with full text at an affordable price.
