In 1991, a year after Malcolm Forbes passing, I bought a book on the discount table at Crown Books in Glendale called “How to Use the Power of the Printed Word”. It was a cool little paperback and if the sticker is correct I paid a whopping $1.98. As I flipped the pages I came across a little section on “How to Write a Business Letter” by Malcolm Forbes. It was great and while I’d heard of Forbes this was when I realized he was a guy I could learn from.
Malcolm Forbes lived a big life. Growing up the son of a publisher, he served in WWII and received the bronze star and purple heart for bravery. Taking over America’s first Business magazine founded by his father, Forbes built a publishing powerhouse. Later, he ran for Governor of New Jersey. In his 50’s he became a biker and in 1973 became the first person to balloon across the United States.
Forbes gave a lot of great quotes. Here are two of my favorites.
Men who don’t get carried away, should be.
If you don’t ask Why? Often enough, people will ask Why You?
If you’d like to get that book on the power of the printed word do so at:
