Features: This book is both inspiring and rational, and it is completely different from those that pursue quick wealth. The author warns us that success is a noble pursuit, and when we achieve success through noble actions, our contribution to humanity is far greater than what we could do while poor.
Content: In 1870, we traveled along the Tigris River. We hired a guide in Baghdad to take us to visit Persepolis, Nineveh, Babylon, and the ruins of the ancient Assyrian Empire as far as the Persian Gulf. The guide was very familiar with the local culture and scenery, and he was also the kind of guide who enjoyed surprising his tourists. Like a barber, he would tell stories while giving you a haircut, so you wouldn’t notice him scratching and kneading your head.
