Dear Reader You are being addressed because I found you in a group of people that have extreme interest in what is going on around them. On a beautiful late spring afternoon, twenty-five years ago, two young men graduated from the same college. They were very much alike, these two young men. Both had been better than average students, both were personable and both - as young college graduates are - filled with ambitious dreams for the future. Recently, these men returned to their college for their 10th reunion. They were still very much alike. Both were happily married. Both had 2 children. And both, it turned out, had gone to work for the same dot COM company after graduation, and were still there. But there was a difference. One of the men was manager of a small department of the company. The other was the president. What Made The Difference Have you ever wondered, as I have, what makes this kind of difference in people's lives? It isn't native intelligence or talent or dedication. It isn't that one person wants success and the other doesn't. The difference lies in what each person knows and how he or she makes use of that knowledge. And that is why I am writing to you and to people like you about The London Morning Paper. For that is the whole purpose of The London Morning Paper: to give its readers knowledge - knowledge that they can use in business and life.
