Sinossi
Excerpt from Success and Failure
Goes down into the country and buys an ancestral house he sets the sleepy countryside agog, and floods it with workmen, building, laying out gardens, glass houses, pheasant coverts, and the rest. The time seems to have come when the prophecy is fulfilled, and ten men will take hold of one that is a Jew, saying, We will go with thee, for we have heard that God is with you (zech. Viii. And as the word success is understood, this man is successful beyond the dreams of romance. And yet I pro test that this kind of success appears to me neither brilliant nor admirable. I see the unhappy man suddenly in volved in the gleaming folds of a monstrous python, that will inevitably throttle him. And I suppose that, while a few of the thoughtless envy him, most of, the thoughtful pity him, and the pious pray for him.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores various perspectives on the true meaning of success and the paradoxical nature of failure. It challenges conventional definitions, arguing that seeking external validation or material accomplishments can detract from personal growth and authentic fulfillment. The author contends that true success lies in living a life aligned with one's values, pursuing meaningful goals, and making a positive impact on others. The book draws on historical examples, philosophical insights, and real-world observations to illustrate how societal perceptions of success often lead to dissatisfaction and disillusionment. It encourages readers to question their own definitions of success and consider a path less traveled, where embracing failure and adversity can lead to unexpected triumphs and profound personal growth. Ultimately, the book argues that the pursuit of success is not a linear path but rather a journey of self-discovery and learning. It celebrates the resilience, compassion, and unwavering spirit that can emerge from the crucible of failure, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
