Summary

This quote suggests that in order to achieve success in a competitive world, one should make grand promises and commitments without actually following through on them. It implies that success can be attained by manipulating others through false promises and deceptive tactics, prioritizing personal gain over genuine sincerity and integrity. However, since this approach lacks ethical considerations and genuine efforts to fulfill commitments, it may lead to short-term gains but potentially damage relationships and long-term success.

My country owes me nothing. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, without inheritance or influential friends, look forward with unbounded hope.
