Duds (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162720753)

""Duds"" by Henry C. Rowland is a book that explores the concept of failure and how it can be used as a tool for growth and success. The author argues that failure is not something to be feared or avoided, but rather embraced as a valuable learning experience. Through a series of anecdotes, Rowland shares his own personal failures and the lessons he learned from them, as well as stories of other successful individuals who have overcome failure to achieve their goals. The book offers practical advice on how to approach failure, how to learn from it, and how to use it to fuel personal growth and development. With its inspiring message and practical insights, ""Duds"" is a must-read for anyone looking to overcome setbacks and achieve success in their personal or professional life.1920. The book begins: The raid was begun with such swift stealth, to be then carried on in so silent and vicious a manner that Captain Phineas Plunkett, passing the house at that moment, was shocked and startled. It was on that widest of fronts where the public peace is never permanent-the water front. This particular sector was a shabby-genteel street in South Brooklyn, where the grass sprouts between the paving stones, and the jungle of back yards borders on a No Man's Land enclosed in hoardings and containing everything under the sun that is not immediately required, a sort of manufacturing catch-all. The hour was one o'clock of a raw, late February morning and Captain Plunkett was returning from the bedside of a lonely friend who was convalescing poorly from the flu.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
