Make pure thy heart, and thou wilt make thy life
Rich, sweet, and beautiful, unmarred by strife;

There also thy salvation thou wilt find.

FOREWORD

Confucius said, “The perfecting of one’s self is the fundamental base of all progress and all moral development;” a maxim as profound and comprehensive as it is simple, practical, and uninvolved, for there is no surer way to knowledge, nor no better way to help the world than by perfecting one’s self. Nor is there any nobler work or higher science than that of self-perfection. He who studies how to become faultless, who strives to be pure-hearted, who aims at the possession of a calm, wise, and seeing mind, engages in the most sublime task that man can undertake, and the results of which are perceptible in a well-ordered, blessed, and beautiful life.

THIS book is for business and commercial men, and for men and women who are anxious to achieve an honourable success in the various pursuits of life. It shows the solid foundation on which a true prosperity rests, and shows how it can be built up on the strong pillars which support it against all the storms of adversity. The reason of failure is shown, the way to avoid it is pointed out, and the true science of success is made plain. But it is not a technical science, but a science of life, and the book is so written as to please and captivate while it advises and instructs. No business man or woman, or any one preparing for a business career, should fail to get this book. They should make a study of its principles, which are so sound and sure, so strong and invincible, that all who apply them in the construction of their business cannot fail to achieve in their particular avocation—whether it be commerce, science, art or literature—an abiding prosperity and well earned success.

The book expounds those right states of mind and wise modes of action which, when adopted under trying circumstances, bring about results fruitful of blessedness. The principles put forth are applicable to the common circumstances of daily life, in which all are frequently involved, and upon the wrong or right use of which all our misery or happiness depends; and those who put these principles into practice will very rapidly prove for themselves that circumstances are subordinate to the human will, and as the potter moulds the unsightly clay into shapes of beauty, so the spiritual potter (he who has acquired the right state of mind) brings out of “adverse conditions” results that are precious, beautiful, and blessed.
