To think and make no headway is simply to carry bricks back and forth. -from "The Master Man" Elbert Hubbard was one of the most respected journalists and most in-demand lecturers of the early 20th century, and this 1921 book of cheerful, useful advice for succeeding at work-and at life-makes clear why he was so popular. In this collection of little nuggets of business wisdom, Hubbard shares his wonderfully eccentric outlook on such topics as: . genius and the line between failure and success . the secret of success . the surprising importance of advertising . the virtues of useful work . the necessity of thrift . and much, much more. Drawing on the lives of famous folk from William Morris to Adam Smith and with a knowing, amusing wit, this is the work of a true American original.
