Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The world takes us at our own valuation. It believes in the man who
believes in himself, but it has little use for the timid man, the
one who is never certain of himself; who cannot rely on his own
judgment, who craves advice from others, and is afraid to go ahead
on his own account. -from "The Rulers of Destiny" The preeminent
self-help expert of the early 20th century and a forerunner of Dale
Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale, Stephen R. Covey and Anthony
Robbins, Marden penned numerous motivation books that galvanized
the public. In this insightful and motivating little book, first
published in 1901 and just as enlightening today, he explores the
importance of mental discipline to our happiness and success.
Topics covered include: .training the will ."the wills, won'ts, and
can'ts" .what is worse than rashness .conquerors of fortune
.concentrated energy .persistent purpose .and more. Also available
from Cosimo Classics: Marden's Friendship, Cheerfulness as a Life
Power, Do It to a Finish, and two-volume Pushing to the Front.
