Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from How to Be Successful, or Practical Advice to Those Who Wish to Rise in the World
Mbition, or the desire to get on in life, is a natural and laudable element in human nature. Most men are desirous to become distinguished either, in one way or another. Without this quality to stimulate men we should hear nothing of their daring exploits, their noble self-sacrificing deeds, their ingenuity and skill, their mercantile success, of the overcoming of almost insurmountable difficulties. Of geographical and scientific discoveries, of literary attainments, of scholastic ability, or philanthropic labours. In short, without ambition, men would be devoid of the chief stimulus to success.
