The most famous self-made man in the world today is our own edison. talk with mr. edison and he will tell you he owes much if not most of his success to omnivorous reading. forbes is one of his favorite publications. how closely he reads it can be gathered from a letter just received from him in which he asks the editor to forward a long analytical letter to the writer of a series of articles which contained two figures mr. edison questions, and he wants to know exactly on what authority or investigation they were based. both letters were the product of mr. edison and were signed by him.

I asked for strength, and god gave me difficulties to make me strong. i asked for wisdom, and god gave me problems to learn to solve. i asked for prosperity, and god gave me a brain and brawn to work. i asked for courage, and god gave me dangers to overcome. i asked for love, and god gave me people to help. i asked for favors, and god gave me opportunities. i received nothing i wanted. i received everything i needed.

I do not despise genius-indeed, i wish i had a basketful of it. but yet, after a great deal of experience and observation, i have become convinced that industry is a better horse to ride than genius. it may never carry any man as far as genius has carried individuals, but industry-patient, steady, intelligent industry-will carry thousands into comfort, and even celebrity; and this it does with absolute certainty.
