successful men differences
Experience has taught me that there is one chief reason why some people succeed and others fail. The difference is not one of knowing, but of doing. The successful man is not so superior in ability as in action. So far as success can be reduced to a formula, it consists of this: doing what you know you should do.

Does anyone believe for one moment that the progress we have made would have been possible under bureaucratic control of any government.

Our position today is the direct result of the free play among our people of private competitive effort.
