1917. The aims of this book are fourfold. First, to guide the reader into the right paths and secondly to warn him of difficulties he will encounter, show him how others overcame similar or greater difficulties and hearten him to wrestle with and triumph over them. Third, to inculcate correct ideas on what constitutes worthwhile success, and to differentiate between the true and the false. Finally, to invest life with a purpose that will yield satisfying joy at the end as well as during the early and midway stages.
