SUCCESS AMONG MEN-By Emil Reic1
H-ENERGETICs A SCIENCE OF SIMPLE

of success do not refer any line whatever in any
space whatever, in any country or at any time
whatever. Far from it. Energetics is the study
not of lines generally but of strategic lines This
one circumstance clearly diferentiates the dy-
namcs of success from the dynamics of bodies
For, to put it in the plainest possible language,
man has seldom more than one line of success.
If he misses, ignores, neglects that line,
he will inevitably turn out a failure. What
Marlborough did in 1904 in the campaign OF
Blenheim, was just this adoption of the one line
on which the whole vast plan of France and her
allies, Bavarian and Hungarian, could be radically
given in the fact that Napoleon, almost exactly
hundred years later, in 1905 and in the same region
and under nearly identical circumstances, adopted
and Prince Eugene to the decisive victory of
Blenhem.

when, in our attempt to discover
some of the principal features
of energetics, we first reconsider
such principal features of ordinary
dynamics as bid fair to be of prac-
teal use in the study of the lines
of success. The writer has long
done so with regard to history, or
the lines of success followed by the
great nations of the past. 1t has,
for instance, been possible to ex-
plain why of all nations in antiquity
the numerically few Greeks alone,
and they only from about 600 B. c.
to 800 B. G., succeeded in art,
science, philosophy, and general
importance as no other nation ever
has. If such satisfactory results
could be obtained in the history
of nations by applying to it the
fundamental principles of dynamics
as taught by Descartes, Calico,
Leibnitz. and Newton, why should
we despair of securing similar re-
suits in the study of individual
success, provided we apply the
principles of dynamics with discre-
ton and caution to the acts of man?

dynamics that must strike us as

Take another aspect of strategic
lines in energetics The majority
of people expect success through
the influence, goodwill, or interest
of some one in power Working
men, clerks, managers, directors,
editors, journalists, teachers, Off
Gals of all kinds-they all expect
their berth, post, or appointment at
the hands of one or two individuals
who dispose of such berths or
posts. On the other hand, a con-
siderable number of men and
women expect success at the hands,
not of one or two individuals, but
from the public generally. Such are
writer's, politicians, preachers, poets,
artists, actors, lecturers, trades
people, merchants, etc Here,
then, arises for each candidate of
success the grave question: Am

Strategy Is King

THESE lines of strategy, in the selection of which
the great masters of war have always shown their
most ingenious skill completely unknown to

the time needed by falling bodies of different

from the leaning tower at Terlan in Tyrol AS there
is no personality among animals, as among lions
there is no Caesar, among movements considered
physically, there is strategy. In lfe-in human
hfe-on the other hand, strategy is king.

concept taught by Descartes, that can control
each winding, turn, twist of given by
scatfoding it on two sorts of straight lines, one
regularly the other rreguary variable In this
concept is contaminated the whole prodigous prog
ress of modern physical and biological science 1t
goes through all astronomy physics, physiology,
expression that in all movements there two
elements, one variable, the other practically not
variable; or, to use other terms, one constant the
other not constant.
Power of Prediction
TN this principle of dynamics there is a germ
of more than one truth. In applying it to our
problem of success, energetcs in life may
freely hope that movements in life, too must
be reducibe to two elements, one constant the
other variable. And since it is evidently not
impossible to cirCumScribe the constant elements
of success with sufficient accuracy and precision
in that all constant things offer broad area on
which to plant the fortress of well-knit concept
may say, and with fair assurance of
not altogether missing the chief points, that in
there is at any rate element that open
to systematic treatment, to scientific insight The
great symptom OF all scientific insight is, as Plato
has long since stated, the power of prediction
To understand is to predict, the French say
II, therefore, the constant elements of
cess are possible subjects of real insight and thus
of true prediction, no longer despair of the
more complicated problems of energetcs either All
that we have to do is to fix by close investigation
the nature and if feasible, the number, of the
stants and also the nature of the varables of the
lines of success. Which, then, are these constants
and which the variabes in success?
The essential point to which are bound to direct
the readers attention before embarking on a
search for the constants of energetcs is a point
of strategy. As in war, that is in the most intense
form of life, SO in less vitalized movements of men
strategy of decisive character Most of strategy
comes back to a question as to which direction
line shall be given to military operations. Had
Alexander the Great, after the battle of IssuS in
Northern Syria, at plunged into Mesopotamia,
instead of first conquering Phenicia, Palestine and
Egypt, he would have been unable to conquer
Persia IN SO short time BY securing all the lines
the Persian might by one stroke or two In the
same way, had Napoleon in 1900 advanced into
Italy by the Riviera, he did in 1906 he might
have beaten Melas but certainly not dehnitvely.
MelaS would only have been pushed back on his
communications.

n our nTSt article we arrived at the conclusion
that success in life is to say the least, unlikely
to be a matter of chance a fuke.
For considerations that have long prevailed upon
students of science to assume the regularity and
harmony of all movements in nature, we, too, are
bound to assume that the movements in practical

anything, it is intense; being intense, it Is

that is, comprehensible-than forces less intense.
Hope of Energetics
DOES not therefore, energetics hold out a fair

success among men with results fully worth our
attention? We hold it does.
Energetics is, like all other theories of
ments part of dynamics. In dynanics ask,
move in a given line or curve? In energetcs
ask What forces shall apply to make a given
person move on one of the lines of success?
There is, of course a considerable difference be-
tween the two problems, in spite of their agree

and geometrical curve are many respects
essentially different from another Yet in doing
