The Formula to
Become Famous
“Studying the
people who have
got rich, we find
that they are an
average lot in all
respects, having
no greater
talents and
abilities than
other men. It is
evident that
they do not get
rich because
they possess
talents and
abilities that
other men have
not, but because
they happen to
do things in a
Certain Way.”
