Excerpt from Selling by the Written Word
It has been said that the world owes every man a living. Apart from physical or social cataclysms that at times sweep the earth, we must all admit that the world fulfills its trust. Of the thousands of millions who people it, there are practically none who, in normal conditions of time and place, do not contrive to live.
The dole that keeps us fed, clothed and housed is not sufficient for the man who regards his life as an opportunity to search for, and possibly grasp, happiness. He knows that, in the main, happiness comes from ability to supply wants, and looking at the rich, portly old globe upon whose bosom he rests he sees that, while it owes him a living, it can give him a competence or fortune.
He sees that he can acquire this competence or fortune (the means to happiness) through the activity he habitually follows which men term "his business," provided he plans and conducts it right.
