Straight talks on business by William Gamble Free PDF book

Straight talks on business by William Gamble Free PDF book  (1907)


Excerpt from the introduction

These articles were hurriedly prepared in the all too few spare moments of strenuous business life; and often as a relief to the mind after a day of mental strain and worry. They accordingly may bear traces of hasty thought and work. It is not pretended that there is anything essentially new in these ' Talks.' It is the old, old philosophy of many succeeding generations of businessmen.

 All that can be claimed is that it has been put into a new form, better suited, perhaps, to present-day ideas. If it serves to make young businessmen think a little more deeply about their duties in life, the Author feels his work will not have been in vain. Whatever shortcomings there may be, let them be excused as words spoken from the heart, in all earnestness.


To achieve success it is not the machinery that is needed, but men, in the highest sense of the word, who can shake off the slipshod indifference which besets so many today; men who are keenly alive to the trend of things around them, and who feel that they are in business not as a pastime, nor as an unpleasant necessity, but as a human duty, to fulfill a useful position in the world; to do something, if possible, which will leave it, if only in their own little circle, better than they found it.


We want men eager to improve, eager to prevent their fellowmen from making a single false step, eager to help their employers, if they are in employment, and eager to help those under them if they are employing others. These are the men to whom the ' Talks ' are addressed; but it is hoped others may be stimulated to shake off their dullness and indifference and be encouraged to regard their business life more hopefully, more ambitiously and more strenuously.
