It is the only kind of success that is open to most of us.

Yet some of the greatest successes in history have been those of this second class--when I call it second class I am not running it down in the least, I am merely pointing out that it differs in kind from the first class.

To the average man it is probably more useful to study this second type of success than to study the first.

From the study of the first he can learn inspiration, he can get uplift and lofty enthusiasm.
From the study of the second he can, if he chooses, find out how to win a similar success himself.
I need hardly say that all the successes I have ever won have been of the second type.

I never won anything without hard labor and the exercise of my best judgment and careful planning and working long in advance.
