Excerpt from Practicality, How to Acquire It
Self-control and self-reliance are the begin nings of practical wisdom. True strength springs from the mastery of self which, with self-reliance, equips and sustains us for the trials that life compels us to endure. But self is every one 's own worst enemy. Therefore, he who would become a power in Practicality must first become master of himself. He must dominate self before he can hope to dominate others. To point out how to do this, and how to benefit thereby is another of the tasks undertaken by the Author.

Excerpt from Practicality, How to Acquire It
Practicality is the sense of seeing things as they are and of doing things as they ought to be done. Specifically, it is defined as the science of being skilled in the application of means to attain particular ends, especially in dealing with the common affairs of life. The Author of this book defines Practicality appropriately as "An inexhaustible wonder-working currency accepted everywhere." True Practicality is acquired through the exercise of good nature, patience, insight, and perspicacity, and by experience. It is the application of Tact to daily life; for tact captivates, fascinates, even anticipates, and by so doing lightens the burdens we have to bear and thus plays no unimportant part in the economy of life. In this work Practicality is presented as consisting of judgment, attention, perception, patience, perseverance, will, decision, finesse, and foresight. One may possess these qualities without knowing how to apply them - in this book the Author shows the Reader just how to do so to his advantage.
