Success
Excerpt from Success
The articles embodied in this small book were written during the pressure of many other affairs and without any idea that they would be published as a consistent whole. It is, therefore, certain that the critic will find in them instances of a repetition of the central idea. This fact is really a proof of a unity of conception which justifies their publication in a collected form. I set out to ask the question, "What is success in the affairs of the world - how is it attained, and how can it be enjoyed?" I have tried with all sincerity to answer the question out of my own experience. In so doing I have strayed down many avenues of inquiry, but all of them lead back to the central conception of success as some kind of temple which satisfies the mind of the ordinary practical man.

Dự định là thử đọc dòng self-help của NHL dịch và cũng rất tin tưởng sách được NHL chọn dịch. Nội dung có nhiều mục rất mang tính dự đoán so với thời điểm ra đời của cuốn sách, chỉ ra nhiều sai lầm ăn sâu trong thói quen mà thường rất khó để nhận ra. Mình tự vấn tại sao có những ngừoi ko mắc lỗi tư duy này (mình đang chơi vs 1 đứa như vậy, và biết 1 đứa khác cũng hình như là tư duy khá thông suốt nữa) trong khi mình suốt ngày soi thấy error đỏ, mà nhiều khi ko soi có lẽ mãi ngộ nhận theo tâm lý đám đông. Bước tiếp theo là đọc lại ghi chép learn on cho đàng hoàng.

One of the few sensible books on the subject of success in life that I've ever encountered.
