Peter B. Kyne (1880€“1957) was an American novelist, many of whose works were adapted into screenplays, something at which he proved to be a huge success. He is credited in 110 films between 1914 and 1952. When still under 18, he lied about his age and enlisted in the U.S. Infantry, serving in the Philippines from 1898-1899. The Spanish-American War provided background for many of Kyne's later stories. During World War I, he served as a captain in the artillery. He was born and died in San Francisco, California. THE GO GETTER is the story of a war veteran with few prospects but making good. It's about overcoming great obstacles in the financial world to "make it" and become successful with what you want to achieve, finding the positive energy and business smarts to get where you want to be in a career. This book has been a popular and lasting inspiration to employees and employers alike since its first publication.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 2011 Reprint of 1921 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Although Kyne's tale of business smarts has been around for some time (it was first published by William Randolph Hearst in 1921), it doesn't feel dated. Indeed, lumber wholesaler Cappy Ricks's situation (he 'had more troubles than a hen with ducklings') mirrors that of many business leaders today. It's a straightforward parable about a young war veteran who's handed an opportunity that will either make or break his career. If he accepts the job and pulls it off, he's a go-getter; if he fails, it's curtains. The kid's motto-'It shall be done'-sums up Kyne's point: even if you're unsure, say you can do it. Then figure out how to do it and make sure you succeed. Go above and beyond. 40 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9781613820858
