How to Become a Successful Electrician - The Studies to Be Followed, Methods of Work, Fields of Operation and Ethics of the Profession #223853

The title of this little work is Open to a variety of interpretations, and may call down different criticisms on the author. The nature of each criticism will depend upon the ideas the reader possesses of what constitutes success. When one of the wealthiest men in the United States died, and page after page of the daily papers was devoted to the story of his life, it must have occurred to many that a man who, as the sum of all those columns, could not secure a favorable comment had not lived successfully. Yet he began poor and ended rich, and these few words, it is to be feared, describe a very usual idea of success. There is no doubt that if this book told of a sure road to wealth, by means however questionable, it would be in great demand. Those who look in it for this will naturally be disappointed.
