"How to Get on in the World: A Ladder to Practical Success" by Major A. R. Calhoun is a guide from the 1800s with down-to-earth suggestions for achieving success in life, stressing the value of moral character, effort, and good habits. It's about growing as a person, especially for young adults, with a focus on the necessary tools for reaching goals. It starts by talking about how success means different things in different areas, like art, business, and science, but Calhoun says real success should be moral and helpful to everyone. He thinks that character, which he calls "crystallized habit," is super important and comes from how you were raised, where you live, and what you learned. The author also says that picking the right job is key, urging people to work with a purpose, stay dedicated, and always act ethically.
