{"product_id":"2940016168333","title":"Pushing to the Front Or Success Under Difficulties by Orison Swett Marden (Illustrated)","description":"Pushing to the Front or, Success Under Difficulties. 1894.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“There are two essential requirements for success. The first is “go-at-it-iveness” and the second is “stick-to-it-iveness” - Orison Swett Marden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Pushing to the Front” became the single greatest runaway classic in the history of personal development books at that time. People like Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone and J.P. Morgan cited it as inspiration. Marden went on to write more than twenty other inspirational books.\" Wikipedia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is doubtful whether any other book, outside of the Bible, has been the turning-point in more lives. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book tells how men and women have seized common occasions and made them great; it tells of those of average ability who have succeeded by the use of ordinary means, by dint of indomitable will and inflexible purpose. It tells how poverty and hardship have rocked the cradle of the giants of the race. The book points out that most people do not utilize a large part of their effort because their mental attitude does not correspond with their endeavor, so that although working for one thing, they are really expecting something else; and it is what we expect that we tend to get. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has sent thousands of youths, with renewed determination, back to school or college, back to all sorts of vocations which they had abandoned in moments of discouragement. It has kept scores of business men from failure after they had given up all hope. \u003cbr\u003eIt has helped multitudes of poor boys and girls to pay their way through college who had never thought a liberal education possible. \u003cbr\u003eThe author has received thousands of letters from people in nearly all parts of the world telling how the book has aroused their ambition, changed their ideals and aims, and has spurred them to the successful undertaking of what they before had thought impossible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapters Include:  \u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS \u003cbr\u003e1.
