We have entered the 21st century, and we are in an information age. Can the success principles summarized by Marden still apply? Yes, information has indeed changed people's lifestyles, but it has not altered the fundamental principles of life. Regardless of how modern technology evolves or how systems and organizational structures change, the essence of life and the unchangeable nature of human weaknesses remain the same. Therefore, the laws of failure for the second and third types of people, as well as the success of the th type of people summarized by Marden, have not changed. His philosophy of true self-education is still applicable. Based on this, we spent nearly three years collecting Marden's original English works from abroad and translated and compiled them. As the New Year of 2006 approached, this complete collection of Marden's success philosophy was born! Marden's own life is a classic example of rising from poverty to success. His inspiring and enlightening literature has forged the great "Marden Spirit," which has always encouraged young people around the world to move forward! We hope that young people in China will step into Marden's world, read his moving words, feel the strength he imparts, discover their great potential, and realize their best selves!
