The Billion Dollar Marketing Secret
===================================
I was not ambitions of becoming a Vanderbilt in wealth, or a Stewart in business. My ambition was bounded by very moderate limits, and I am afraid such success as I have had would strike most men, not as success, but only as the beginning of victory. And if anything I can say will help you to this beginning, I shall be amply satisfied.
The first thought that enters a boy's head is a wish; he wishes he was like some man or older boy, who has what he has not. It is this wish and desire that spur him on the road of life. I like it to be so; but oh I be careful that you are aiming after a noble end. Constant effort will enable the most ordinary capacity to imitate the object aimed at. If your model is a young man who " travels on his shape," I can encourage you by saying there is no reason why you should not equal, if not excel, him.
If your society is among the fast young men, who pride themselves on their recklessness, you may reasonably hope to compete with the leader of your set. We are, most of as, just what we strive to be; perhaps not to the extent we desire, but often- times we excel our own ideals.
