successful men genius
I am sure that few successful men are so-called 'natural geniuses.'
successful men thinking
All successful employers are stalking men who will do the unusual, men who think, men who attract attention by performing more than is expected of them.
successful men years
One of the most successful men I have known never carried a watch until he began to earn ten thousand dollars a year.

There is no royal road to a successful life, as there is no royal road to learning. It has got to be hard knocks, morning, noon, and night, and fixity of purpose.

For my own part I am more interested in my work than its mere money value.

Our big men at Bethlehem seldom get salaries of over one hundred dollars a week; but all of them receive bonuses computed entirely on the efficiencies and the economies registered in their departments.

I didn't take up shorthand with any idea of becoming a professional at it. It merely appeared to me to be a good thing to know - something that might come in handy.
jobs littles way
I have always felt that the surest way to qualify for the job just ahead is to work a little harder than any one else on the job one is holding down.
men instance knows
I have yet to hear an instance where misfortune hit a man because he worked overtime. I know lots of instances where it hit men who did not.
