SUMMARY
At the dawn of the twentieth Century, George H. Lorimer knew the secret of success. He rejected the ideas of his popular contemporary Horatio Alger-work hard, show good manners, be -patient; and Fortune will find and reward you. Instead, Lorimer advised, make your own luck, take advantage of opportunities, be aggressive. He put forth these ideas in a series of letters from a fictitious wealthy Chicago businessman to his son about to enter Harvard and later the family business. First published in the "Saturday Evening Post," they were collected in 1902 in a book that became a national bestseller. Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet's "Glengarry Glen Ross "introduction -reminds us why Lorimer's wise counsel is still relevant for us today.Lorimer, George H. is the author of 'Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son', published 1991 under ISBN 9780878336104 and ISBN 0878336109.
