Synopsis"All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible." Dr. Orison Swett Marden, orphaned at age nine, was a self-made man having put himself through school earning a Doctorate in both medicine (from Harvard) and law (from Boston University). He is widely considered to be the father of the Self-Help Movement in America. Most of the great motivational and inspirational speakers and authors of the 20th. century studied Marden. He wrote more than 50 motivational and inspirational titles of which "The Miracle of Right Thought" and "Pushing to the Front" are the two most famous and widely studied. "The author has done a most valuable service to the young life of the country." --Bishop J. H. Vincent "It teaches the lofty aim, the high resolve, the fixed purpose, the pure ideal." --Philadelphia. Public Ledger "All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.... There is nobody,' says a Roman Cardinal, 'whom Fortune does not visit once in his life; but when she finds he is not ready to receive her, she goes in at the door, and out through the window.' Opportunity is coy. The careless, the slow, the unobservant, the lazy fail to see it, or clutch at it when it has gone. The sharp fellows detect it instantly, and catch it when on the wing." -Orison Swett Marden Like many proponents of the New Thought philosophy, Orison S. Marden believed that our thoughts influence our lives and our life circumstances. Although he is best known for his books on financial success, Marden always emphasized that this would come inevitably as a result of cultivating one's personal development. How To Succeed is an inspirational book on the power of finding financial and personal success, given as advice from successful people from across a number of historical eras. Orison Swett Marden, founder of Success Magazine, is also considered to be the founder of the modern success movement in America. He certainly bridged the gap between the old, narrow notions of success and the new, more comprehensive models made popular by best-selling authors such as Napoleon Hill, Clement Stone, Dale Carnegie, Og Mandino, Earl Nightingale, Norman Vincent Peale, and today's authors Stephen R.Covey, Anthony Robbins, and Brian Tracy.
