Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William E Dodge: The Christian Merchant There are, in the community, many men of one-sided force - men with a jut. They make their way to success by concentration and intensity. Their power lies in their narrowness. Most men are human fragments. As Emerson puts it: "One is a mouth for talking, another is an arm for striking, a third is a stomach for digesting, and a fourth is a leg for walking; this one is a pocket for retaining, and that one is a brain for planning - there are few complete men." This is especially true in business, which is commonly conceived of as founded in selfishness and carried on in greed. Examples of business success abound, which are studied and copied, but which are as demoralizing as the piracies of Captain Kyd - and are based on much the same principles. William E. Dodge was a prince of trade. He was always and justly proud of his calling. Yet he was not subdued to what he worked in. He was a merchant; but he was more. Standing on the dizzy heights of prosperity, his head was never turned so that he lost his balance. One of the busiest of men, manipulating gigantic affairs, he found time for a thousand interests outside of his counting-room; and these, instead of interfering with his commercial enterprises, worked into them, tempered them, and, in turn, caught from them something of the method and exactitude of the business habit.
