{"product_id":"2940012167118","title":"A motivational book for personal success: Advice, strategies and motivation for success and personal growth in your life","description":"It has been said that \"Nothing Succeeds Like Success.\" What is\u003cbr\u003eSuccess? If we consult the dictionaries, they will give us the\u003cbr\u003eetymology of this much used word, and in general terms the meaning\u003cbr\u003ewill be \"the accomplishment of a purpose.\" But as the objects in\u003cbr\u003enearly every life differ, so success cannot mean the same thing to\u003cbr\u003eall men.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe artist's idea of success is very different from that of the\u003cbr\u003ebusiness man, and the scientist differs from both, as does the\u003cbr\u003estatesman from all three. We read of successful gamblers, burglars or\u003cbr\u003efreebooters, but no true success was ever won or ever can be won that\u003cbr\u003esets at defiance the laws of God and man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo win, so that we ourselves and the world shall be the better for\u003cbr\u003eour having lived, we must begin the struggle, with a high purpose,\u003cbr\u003ekeeping ever before our minds the characters and methods of the noble\u003cbr\u003emen who have succeeded along the same lines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe young man beginning the battle of life should never lose sight of\u003cbr\u003ethe fact that the age of fierce competition is upon us, and that this\u003cbr\u003ecompetition must, in the nature of things, become more and more\u003cbr\u003eintense. Success grows less and less dependent on luck and chance.\u003cbr\u003ePreparation for the chosen field of effort, an industry that\u003cbr\u003eincreasing, a hope that never flags, a patience that never grows\u003cbr\u003eweary, a courage that never wavers, all these, and a trust in God,\u003cbr\u003eare the prime requisites of the man who would win in this age of\u003cbr\u003especialists and untiring activity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe purpose of this work is not to stimulate genius, for genius is\u003cbr\u003elaw unto itself, and finds its compensation in its own original\u003cbr\u003eproductions. Genius has benefited the world, without doubt, but too\u003cbr\u003eoften its life compensation has been a crust and a garret. After\u003cbr\u003edeath, in not a few cases, the burial was through charity of\u003cbr\u003efriends, and this can hardly be called an adequate compensation, for\u003cbr\u003ethe memorial tablet or monument that commemorates a life of\u003cbr\u003eprivation, if not of absolute wretchedness.","brand":"Sinclaire Tripps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147350163696,"sku":"2940012167118","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012167118_p0.jpg?v=1763553077","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012167118","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
