How to Get on in the World: A Ladder to Practical Success is a self-help book written by Major A. R. Calhoun.
The purpose of this work is not to stimulate genius, for genius is law unto itself, and finds its compensation in its own original productions. Genius has benefited the world, without doubt, but too often its life compensation has been a crust and a garret.
After death, in not a few cases, the burial was through charity of friends, and this can hardly be called an adequate compensation, for the memorial tablet or monument that commemorates a life of privation, if not of absolute wretchedness.
"Business" is a very comprehensive word, and may properly embrace every life-calling; but in its narrow acceptance it is applied to trade, commerce and manufactures.
It is in these three lines of business that men have shown the greatest energy and enterprise, and in which they have accomplished the greatest material success.
