Freund, antworte dir, was suchst du in diesem Buch? Wenn Vergnügen, es gibt es nicht hier. Wenn Freude, so findest du diese. Wahrheit ist erfreulich. Wahrheit ist Gold ähnlich. Goldgewinn ist schwerer Fleiß. Darum wenn du Erholung suchst, findest du in „Andersdenken“-Büchern sie nicht. Du findest aber schweren Fleiß. Fleiß ist erfreulich. Je mehr dein Gehirn denkt, desto stärker er wird. Kraft ist erfreulich. Wer Kraft hat, ist ein Held. Held ist froh.
