| Summary | "How to Get on in the World: A Ladder to Practical Success" by Major A. R. Calhoun is a motivational guidebook written in the late 19th century. The work offers practical advice and insights aimed at helping individuals navigate the complexities of achieving success in various life callings, emphasizing the significance of character, hard work, and sound habits. With a thoughtful focus on personal development and the importance of moral integrity, it aims to equip readers—especially young men and women—with the tools necessary for achieving their goals. The opening portion of the book begins with the author's exploration of the concept of success, highlighting that its meaning varies across different fields, such as art, business, and science. Calhoun argues that true success must align with moral laws and benefit both the individual and society. He stresses the vital role of character as the foundation of success, calling it "crystallized habit," influenced by one’s upbringing, environment, and education. The author also emphasizes the importance of choosing a suitable calling, encouraging readers to enter the workforce with a sense of purpose and dedication, while maintaining a lifelong commitment to character development and ethical integrity in all pursuits.
