H ow to Succeed; Or, Stepping-Stones to Fame and Fortune by Orison Swett Marden is a motivational guide to personal success written in the late 19th century. The book emphasizes the importance of character, determination, and the ability to seize opportunities to achieve fame and fortune. Marden serves as a mentor to readers, providing insights and advice on how to become a competent and self-reliant individual. At the start of the book, Marden calls for readers to recognize their own potential and the necessity of being a man in character and action. He cites various historical figures and provides anecdotes illustrating the value of hard work, perseverance, and self-improvement. He also critiques the superficiality in society and stresses the importance of developing individual talents and taking initiative in the pursuit of success. The introductory chapters set a foundation for the reader's journey, exploring themes of opportunity, personal growth, and the mindset needed to navigate the challenges of life.T he great need at this hour is manly men. We want no goody-goody piety; we have too much of it. We want men who will do right, though the heavens fall, who believe in God, and who will confess Him. -REV. W. J. DAWSON. All the world cries, Where is the man who will save us? We want a man! Don't look so far for this man. You have him at hand. This man-it is you, it is I; it is each one of us!... How to constitute one's self a man? Nothing harder, if one knows not how to will it; nothing easier, if one wills it. - ALEXANDER DUMAS. I thank God I am a Baptist, said a little, short Doctor of Divinity, as he mounted a step at a convention. Louder! louder! shouted a man in the audience; we can't hear. Get up higher, said another. I can't, replied the doctor, to be a Baptist is as high as one can get. But there is something higher than being a Baptist, and that is being a man.Rousseau says: According to the order of nature, men being equal, their common vocation is the profession of humanity; and whoever is well educated to discharge the duty of a man cannot be badly prepared to fill any of those offices that have a relation to him. It matters little to me whether my pupil be designed for the army, the pulpit, or the bar. To live is the profession I would teach him.
