Hutchison,
nationally known Consulting Engineer and long-time associate of
Thomas A. Edison, said— "This is not a novel. It is a textbook
on individual achievement that came directly from the experiences
of hundreds of America's most successful men. It should be studied,
digested, and meditated upon. No more than one chapter should be
read in a single night. The reader should underline the sentences
which impress him most. Later, he should go back to these marked
lines and read them again. A real student will not merely read this
book, he will absorb its contents and make them his own. This book
should be adopted by all high schools and no boy or girl should
be permitted to graduate without having satisfactorily passed an
examination on it. This philosophy will not take the place of the
subjects taught in schools, but it will enable one to organize and
apply the knowledge acquired, and convert it into useful service
and adequate compensation without waste of time. Dr. John R. Turner,
Dean of the College of The City of New York, after having read the
book, said— "The very best example of the soundness of this
philosophy is your own son, Blair, whose dramatic story you have
outlined in the chapter on Desire." Dr. Turner had reference
to the author's son, who, born without normal hearing capacity,
not only avoided becoming a deaf mute, but actually converted his
handicap into a priceless asset by applying the philosophy here
described. After reading the story (starting on page 52), you will
realize that you are about to come into possession of a philosophy
which can be transmuted into material wealth, or serve as readily
to bring you peace of mind, understanding, spiritual harmony, and
in some instances, as in the case of the author's son, it can. help
you master physical affliction. The author discovered, through personally
analyzing hundreds of successful men, that all of them followed
the habit of exchanging ideas, through what is commonly called conferences.
When they had problems to be solved they sat down together and talked
freely until they discovered, from their joint contribution of ideas,
a plan that would serve their purpose. You, who read this book,
will get most out of it by putting into practice the Master Mind
principle described in the book. This you can do (as others are
doing so successfully) by forming a study club, consisting of any
desired number of people who are friendly and harmonious. The club
should have a meeting at regular periods, as often as once each
week. The procedure should consist of reading one chapter of the
book at each meeting, after which the contents of the chapter should
be freely discussed by all members. Each member should make notes,
putting down ALL IDEAS OF HIS OWN inspired by the discussion. Each
member should carefully read and analyze each chapter several days
prior to its open reading and joint discussion in the club. The
reading at the club should be done by someone who reads well and
understands how to put color and feeling into the lines. By following
this plan every reader will get from its pages, not only the sum
total of the best knowledge organized |
