Description
"I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature."You know his name. Now, in his own words, advice and perspective from the wealthiest man in history."Probably in the life of every one there comes a time when he is inclined to go over again the events, great and small, which have made up the incidents of his work and pleasure, and I am tempted to become a garrulous old man, and tell some stories of men and things which have happened in an active life.In some measure I have been associated with the most interesting people our country has produced, especially in business - men who have helped largely to build up the commerce of the United States, and who have made known its products all over the world. These incidents which come to my mind to speak of seemed vitally important to me when they happened, and they still stand out distinctly in my memory."CONTENTSI. Some Old FriendsII. The Difficult Art of GettingIII. The Standard Oil CompanyIV. Some Experiences in the Oil BusinessV. Other Business Experiences and Business PrinciplesVI. The Difficult Art of GivingVII. The Benevolent Trust--The Value of the Cooperative Principle in Giving
