Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Character, How to Strengthen It
In the pages that follow, the Author leads the reader along the way he must travel to achieve success. The man who succeeds is he who saw his object in early life and never lost sight of it. Genius, Bulwer tells us, 'is but fine obser vation strengthened by fixity of purpose. Every man who is stedfastly resolute and a vigilant observer can attain success. Strength of character is resolution. Resolve to do some thing, and it will be done. Napoleon once said, The truest wisdom is a resolute determina tion. The man of strong character is he who achieves success in business. His forcefulness is sustained by foresight, prudence, discern ment, reason, logic, and clear thinking. In the home, where one must learn to bear and forbear, strength of character is indispen sable. There egotism invariably rules. Indi vidual comfort is always in direct ratio to the efforts put forth to acquire it. We all seek some end, and to attain it must submit ourselves to the necessary discipline. There is need for strict attention to little things, for on these depend much of the peace and harmony of life. The man of strong will applies all the energies of his body and mind to every task that he undertakes and so avoids that failure which besets his weaker associates.
