A pleasant room in which the seated figure looks remarkably like you. A stranger standing in front of a picture window speaks. Hello? You recognize my voice? You should because you know me well. I've been everywhere and I'm as old as man.

In Europe in the thirteenth century while I labored to find the secret of turning dross metal into pure gold I was called an alchemist. In ancient India called a faker. In the gold rush of 1849 I was called a prospector.

Actually I represent man's hopes and dreams. From the beginning of time I've looked for a mystic amulet or magic incantation that could give me everything I want. Success, friends, peace of mind and spirit, the confidence and respect of those around me.

And I have found it. I have found the great secret in 25 simple words. Words that first were formulated in a year of despair, the Depression year of 1932. This is the true story of a man who has never been impressed by names, who feels that a man's good name is more important than his signature.
