Title:: Chapter II. The man who is unbeatable

Collection:: Economics Books

"THE MAN WHO IS UNBEATABLE word. A man who climbs to the top does not wander sideways, as the crowd pushes him. He keeps on trudging up. In a word, the great man is one who has determined to be great in some one thing and who does not care how hard he works, as long as he is moving in the direction that he wants to go. A great man is always creative, whether he creates a book or a science or a railway or a factory or a philosophy of life. He is never a routine man. Often he is an ordinary man, so far as his ability and advantages are concerned, but he grows big as he keeps on. The greatness of his job eventually makes a great man of him. Oscar Hammerstein, that erratic genius who came to London and built us an Opera House on Kingsway, was an unbeatable man. He was so erratic that many of his big schemes failed. All told, he built a dozen theatres. But no failure ever downed him. Once, in one of his bankruptcies, he stepped out of the theatre he had lost. He was ruined, we would say. He stood and looked up and down the street. A friend said to him : *‘ Don’t give way to despair, Oscar.” 27
