A View on Success

A View on Success

This article written by Titus Munson Coan from the February publication of The Galaxy in 1871 is about what was believed to make individuals successful. The article takes a cue from the "theory" of evolution in its explanation of what makes people successful though it then begins to analyse more specific traits. The article states that it is the bold that succeed and that many geniuses owe their success not to intellect but to the fact that they were more enduring than most people.
