Keeping Up With William is a novel written by Irving Bacheller that tells the story of the Honorable Socrates Potter, a wealthy and influential man who shares his thoughts on the concept of common sense and preferred sense. The book follows the life of William, a young man who is determined to succeed in life and become wealthy like Socrates Potter. Along the way, William seeks advice from Socrates Potter on how to achieve success and navigate the complexities of life.Throughout the book, Socrates Potter shares his wisdom and insights on various topics, including the importance of education, the value of hard work, and the role of common sense in decision-making. He also discusses the merits of preferred sense, which he believes is a higher form of intelligence that allows individuals to make better decisions and achieve greater success.As William learns from Socrates Potter, he begins to realize that success is not just about wealth and status, but also about living a fulfilling and meaningful life. He discovers that true success comes from following one's passions and pursuing one's dreams, rather than simply trying to keep up with others.Overall, Keeping Up With William is a thought-provoking and insightful novel that explores the themes of success, wisdom, and the pursuit of happiness. It is a must-read for anyone who is looking to gain a deeper understanding of these important concepts and how they relate to our lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
