3/11 Many great men have been at loss to understand why they attained success. It is well nigh impossible for them to outline the causes that led them to the top rungs of the ladder. The reason is that _their lack of fear_ of experiences was an unconscious one, rather than a conscious one. However, they are willing to admit that acting on the principle of profiting by experience _loaned them initiative_ with which to proceed. They soon came to know opportunity at sight and had only to look around to find it. |
