Présentation de l'éditeur
His story speaks for itself. It is the record of a young man who has achieved unusual success in traveling, and in gaining access to notable persons throughout thew rld. It shows what may be accomplished when a youth starts out with a determination to win, and to leave no stone unturned until he accomplishes his ambition. Mr. Morrison desired to gain experience with the world, and he gained it in the proper way. Men and women were glad to assist him, because they could see that he deserved to be helped. There was nothing loud or audacious about him when he sought interviews with the great ones of the world. He always knew perfectly what he wanted, and he wasted no time in having it understood. He had confidence in himself and in his success, and faith that every one would help him on, and these qualities in a boy are singularly attractive. It would not be at all safe for other boys to undertake what he was able to accomplish, for in nine cases out of ten they would not come out so well. Mr. Morrison himself would be unwilling to start again from Chicago with twentyfive dollars in his pocket, to travel through Europe, and he would not advise others to emulate his example. But there are other things that boys can do in order to gain a foothold in their chosen profession. It isnt necessary to travel in order to get on in the world, for many of the most successful men have never moved far from their native towns. Many of us who think we are poor, are rich in opportunities if we could only see them, in possibilities all about us, in faculties worth more than riches, in power to do good. In the large Eastern cities, it has been found that at least ninety-four out of every hundred found their first fortune at home, or near at hand, and in meeting common, every-day wants.
