Founder of the Ralston Purina Company and one of the founders of the American Youth Foundation, William H. Danforth (1870-1956) inspired his employees with his Monday Morning Messages. Around 1929, he gathered many of these messages into this delightful little book, Action. Every message is imbued with a sense of honor for the people and the causes he addressed on those Monday mornings. If written today, the language would be more inclusive, and more illustrations would celebrate the achievements of women in professional as well as traditional leadership roles. The original has not been edited; so you will find examples typical of its era. " Everyone wants to grow. Books and sermons and messages stimulate us. We aim high. Too often, however, we settle back to our old ways and kill our high ambitions. Failure to start action comes from sheer laziness or putting things off. This little book is not to add to your library. It is to add to your life... No easy task will ever challenge a growing man." Take Action!! Proceeds from the sale of these books help fund scholarships to the American Youth Foundation's International Leadership Conferences. Visit our website for more information at www.ayf.com.
