[BOOK VOICE, spoken]
Dear Reader
This little book is designed to tell you everything you need to know
About the science of getting ahead
Now let us assume you're young, healthy, clear-eyed and eager
Anxious to rise quickly and easily to the top of the business world
You can!

[FINCH, spoken]
I can!

[BOOK VOICE, spoken]
If you have education and intelligence and ability, so much the better
But remember that thousands have reached the top
Without any of these qualities
Just have courage
And memorize the simple rules in the chapters that follow
If you truly wish to be among the lucky golden few, you can!

[FINCH, spoken]
I can!
