Training for Masterfulness

A Wonderful Series of 32 Stimulating, Ambition-Arousing
Lectures by Dr. Orison Swett Marden

What Dr. Marden Believes and Teaches in These Splendid Lectures

This distinguished author, practical business man, lecturer, successful farmer and physician shows that every human being possesses certain elements of strength, leadership and greatness; that it is a duty, as well as a pleasant task, for every individual to discover these latent qualities and develop them to their highest possibilities.

'Most people," he says, "do not face the goal of their ambition; their mental attitude is not right: they are working for one thing, but expecting something else; they are outwardly struggling for success, but inwardly expecting failure.

"Others fail because they do not keep their ideals bright, their earlier visions fade because they do not cling to them; they relax their efforts for attainment. Many do not back up their brains and ability in such a way as to enable them to make the most of the opportunities that come to their attention."

In The Marden Lectures on How to Get the Most Out of Life the reader is shown just how to use his brain to the best advantage; how to grasp opportunities, fortify his chances in life and cling to his vision until his dreams come true.

Every paragraph has a message for you, and when you read one of these inspiring paragraphs you will say as others have, "That hits me," "That is worth the price of the course," or, "That suggestion is worth money to me."

These remarkable Lectures are storage batteries of power, reservoirs of encouragement, of uplift,

Dr. Marden's optimistic lectures have helped more than a million men to greater Happiness, More Money, Better Health and Success. More than 75,000 men and women have written Dr. Marden

Dewent scowled. "Fifty a week!" he muttered. "Is he trying to fool me?" And he replied:

Couldn't think of any such arrangement. Salary you offer wouldn't buy gasoline.

He liked that little touch, although he had never owned a car.

But Robertson's reply startled him-startled him on a morning when he had just enough money to settle his hotel bill and provide for future financial needs by pawning such of the contents of his trunk as were not essential to his immediate needs. The message Robertson sent him read:

Just learned you were fired. Any man in that posi

tion who turns down a reasonable offer isn't worth his salt. Offer withdrawn.

For many weeks after she had transcribed President Can You Apply It?

Burnham's telegram discharging Richard Dewent, Tessie Tilden mourned over the fact that her idol had clay feet, that Dewent had fizzled, and because she now recalled the reason why. The experience had not taught Dewent anything, but Tessie did not know that. She did know however that she had also been in the wrong. And Tessie began to startle the office force by arriving early, working hard, and leaving late.

"I wonder what ever became of Dick Dewent," Tessie Tilden said, in a sorrowful tone, one day, a year later, just after young Collver had returned from a western trip.

"Do you miss him?" asked Collver. "Have you any idea where he is?"

"Yes," Collver admitted reluctantly. "I saw him when I was in St. Louis. He was a waiter in a restaurant."

"It's a crime!" Tessie said, with a trace of tears in her eyes. "A positive crime, with the future he had before him-the opportunity he let slip by!"

"Yes," Collver said. "He might have been sitting at my desk, or even at one higher up."

Tessie looked at Collver very seriously. "I wonder why so many magazines paint the rosy side of endeavor why they sing the song of success," she remarked. "It seems to me-though it's far less pleasant -that the tale of the horrible example might be stronger as an appeal to industry and ambition. It was to me. If I could write a book, I'd call it "The Failure,' and Dick Dewent would be the hero-if one could speak of him in such a term."

"Whenever you are feeling blue,
Something for someone else go do."

A steeple is not necessarily any more pious than a smoke-stack.

make it a part of your life. If you see the
