Samuel Smiles

Samuel Smiles (1812-1904) war ein schottischer Moralschriftsteller. Er war urspr nglich Mediziner, gab aber dann die Praxis auf, um die Redaktion der Leeds Times zu bernehmen. Einige seiner Schriften erlangten gro e Verbreitung. Aus dem Buch: "Man hat das Gl ck oft blind genannt; aber seine Blindheit ist minder gro als die der Menschen. Wer sich im praktischen Leben umschaut, der wird finden, da das Gl ck gew hnlich auf Seiten des Flei igen steht - wie Wellen und Wind sich auf die Seite der besten Seeleute stellen. Auch auf den edelsten Gebieten menschlichen Strebens erweisen sich die einfacheren Tugenden - Verst ndigkeit, Aufmerksamkeit, Flei und Beharrlichkeit - von h chstem Nutzen." Inhalt: - Nationale und individuelle Selbsthilfe - F hrer auf dem Gebiet der Industrie - Erfinder und Produzenten - Drei gro e T pfer: Palissy, B ttger, Wedgwood - Flei und Beharrlichkeit - Hilfsmittel und Gelegenheiten - wissenschaftliche Bestrebungen - Arbeiter auf dem Gebiet der Kunst - Flei und Adelsverleihung - Energie und Mut - Gesch ftsleute - Das Geld - sein guter und schlechter Gebrauch - Die Selbsterziehung - g nstige und ung nstige Lebensumst nde - Beispiele und Muster - Der Charakter - Der wahrhaft vornehme Mann
