This book was a bit confusing. I cannot comprehend what I learned from it but when I checked back the book, I found that I highlighted more than 60 passages. So, it must be a good book. But It does not feel like that.
Anyway, this book seems to be about the (WILL). The author defines the (WILL) as The Power of Self- direction. That's all I can say about the book. I'll provide some passages from the book as a way of describing it :
A chain is no stronger than its weakest link
Pride often represses the cry of pain.
In part, concentrated attention is the secret of genius.
When the Will fails, the battle is lost
In the long run, every man gets in life what he deserves.
When asked how he came to discover the law of gravitation, Newton is reported to have answered, 'By always thinking about it.'
Never perform an act, nor make a decision, in opposition to what Socrates called his "Daimonion"— the inner voice that whispers, "Better not!"
Reject nothing because it is old
In time of peace, prepare for war. In time of health, fortify against disease.
The best thinker is the best reader
All the leaders in the world's life have been men of imagination
In the long run, life reciprocates with those who do unto others as they would that others should do unto them.
Never criticize to a man his wife, to a wife her husband, to a parent the child, to the child its parent, nor to any person a relative or friend
Don't tell everything you know, either concerning others or relating to your own affairs
