The case of Charlie is a striking example of how such changes can be accomplished, and the results. Charlie made a great deal more money than he ever expected to have by getting the franchise for pin-ball machines in army camps during World War II. When he settled up after the War was over he had money, a lot of money he did not know how to handle.   Quite naturally he immediately became the saucer of honey around which hovered men with doubtful ideas that they wanted to finance. Charlie invested and invested until he suddenly found himself without funds. His invest­ments were not paying off. His days of being a capitalist were over, with his bank account overdrawn. He had urged that I accompany him on a trip to the city, and we had unexpected car trouble. It was his car and he wrote a check to cover the repairs. That evening I found him in his hotel room writing a suicide note. Under rather severe cross-questioning he admitted what he considered his failure in life. He was whipped and was not only broke, but ashamed.

“I can’t go back and face Mary,” he said. “She does not know the situation, and she can of course go back to her profession and take care of the children.”

As a result of that conversation he started to learn handwriting analysis online free a very simple handwriting exercise, and only a few weeks later breezed into the office to report that he had been made branch manager of a concern where his earnings would mount. He had something he had never had before. He had self-confidence. He had made a few changes in his writing-not major changes, and he had achieved results. You will find out how he did it, before you lay this book aside. You will learn, too, what this simple exercise did for me at a time when I faced great responsibility.

Altogether you will find much in the following chapters that you can use. This is the only reason for writing this book. It is not an easy task, and as I write it there is always the need to omit the pronoun I. What graphology has done for me, and for others, is no more than it can do for you.
