By the time Albert was twenty-one years old, it was

man who would succeed in any career. Albert was also
aware of his many talents, but instead of thinking about
success, he was filled with feelings of gratitude. He
began to develop the idea that he ought to pay

created an unusual life plan. He pledged to serve his
own interests only until he turned thirty. After that, he
would serve the world.
