Eighth Wonder of the World

This time we’ll revisit a time when you’re a little older… Callum picked up the barrel of the revolver, tweaking it so make it more accurate, more deadly. This was his life for the past few months. Improving weapons, making sleeker designs for saddles, whatever task that his father is throwing on his worktable. Preparing for war. War. It’s a preposterous thought. Not long after having fought for freedom from Great Britain, we’re on the verge of fighting each other. The stirrings and…

elementary school teacher told me that I could be an excellent teacher. That has stuck with me through the years. A lot of the teachers that I remember fondly have always taught me something I could never forget, usually something about myself or how the world perceives me.

A Partnership Is Formed The next morning, I told my best friend, Mike, what my dad had said. As best I could tell, Mike and I were the only poor kids in this school. Mike was like me in that he was in this school by a twist of fate. Someone had drawn a jog in the line for the school district, and we wound up in school with the rich kids. We…

Neither Dale Carnegie nor the publishers, Simon and Schuster, anticipated more than this modest sale. To their amazement, the book became an overnight sensation, and edition after edition rolled off the presses to keep up with the increasing public demand. Now to Win Friends and InfEuence People took its place in publishing history as one of the all-time international best-sellers.
