Wise Words for Success

Many people buy books about achieving success expecting them to contain some magical formula that requires little effort on their part to attain that goal. If that's what you expect, then his book is not for you. Only you can make yourself a success. Especially as success has a different meaning for each of us.

But what this book does provide is some of the wisdom accumulated over the centuries in condensed form to guide you towards your success, be it financial, in relationships with others, or indeed dealing with life itself.

As Oliver Holmes observed, "a moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience ." And this book is full of insights from some of the most successful people from throughout history. Advice that the astute reader will be able to apply to their own situation.

" To do nothing is the way to be nothing " wrote Nathaniel Howe. And those who wish to remain nothing will ignore the observations contained in this book, for as Samuel Johnson noted, " advice is seldom welcome. Those who need it most, like it least ." However, those who intend to better themselves should find the selected quotations invaluable as a compact guide and reference in their quest.

So heed the advice in the Book of Common Prayer to " read, mark, learn and inwardly digest " to increase your chances of achieving your goals.
