Excerpt from Thoughts on Business
This book is an outgrowth of a business experience gained through many years of association with one of America's great commercial institutions. During those years I have learned, perhaps more surely than anything else, the value of a right thought. I have seen how men's careers have been marred by basing their actions on unsound theories of life and business. And I have also see how a change from a wrong thought to a right thought, perhaps during a moment of casual conversation, has been the means of advancing a man to a higher place in his work, opening his eyes to a border field of opportunity and wholesome activity.
I count the acquisition of certain thoughts as the red-letter of my life. To those moments I can look back and clearly trace long series of fortune events, which stand out as conspicuous witness to the value of the ideas then acquired. It sometimes almost startles me to think how different the course of my career might have been had I not received certain thoughts at certain times and acted upon them.
Many such thoughts have a value only to the individual, and in connection with the problems of the moment; others have an application to thousands of men and women, in connection with many varied experiences.
