One of the most widely read books in modern times is Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People.

What worked for an innovative female pharaoh in Egypt was not necessarily the secret to success for the first Roman emperor or a groundbreaking Chinese philosopher.

What are little boys made of?
“Snips and snails, and puppy dogs' tails
That's what little boys are made of!”
What are little girls made of?
What are little girls made of?
“Sugar and spice and all things nice
That's what little girls are made of!”
What are young men made of?
What are young men made of?
Sighs and cheers, and crocodile tears
And that are what young men made of.
What are young women made of?
What are young women made of?
Ribbons and laces, and sweet pretty faces,
And that are what young women made of.
