Richard Cook
Firstly why did I write ‘Success in my hands’? Simply to help me become happier, to start loving a part of me that I didn’t and to be free and at peace to be my self. I have had the overwhelming desire to be happy almost at any cost. I had I guess a sense of an underlying sadness related to my arms. The emotional feelings I wanted to change and be at peace and free from anxiety, depression and the panic attacks that lasted for nearly 30 years. This book is my opportunity to explain that the very words, feelings and actions have had a direct impact on my behaviour from an early age. Whilst writing the journey has been one of letting go of those negative thoughts and replacing them with happier ones so that I can ‘smile’ from the inside. I believed that my happiness was always to come from the ‘inside’. I knew why because my sadness was on the inside, all I had to do was reverse it. But I didn’t know ‘how’ I had to learn it and literally change my whole approach to life. Become enabled by changing the thoughts to happier ones.

INTRODUCTION TO MIXED DRINKS.
By William Schmidt
To those who do not find the following useful in its details for their own use, I express my congratulations and esteem as a business associate. To those who do find it a guide I wish to express my assurance that they will find this work an absolutely and indispensably correct one to work by, provided they understand and practice it. You may travel all over the find my practice a good one. duties you will find many little country, and you will In discharging your hints you will not be able to practice for not having the facilities to do so, but I may say I have at least shown you how it ought to be made and executed. It must be left to your own judgment to follow the directions given herein the best way you know of, and leave out what ought to be left out, because your position does not offer you the opportunity. I have mentioned in this work everything that is necessary for a theoretical experience. It should be borne in mind: Not everybody can advance so as to be come an artist in tending bar, but we all should learn, and try to improve by all means that are offered. I am far from believing it possible to become a practical man by simply studying this book, but while doing so, you will get an essential and true idea of how to become a valuable man in this line of business. Every man can educate himself and acquire all the knowledge necessary for tending bar, provided he takes enough interest and wants to make it a business. Practical knowledge cannot be acquired except by actual work and experience.
An inexpert cook never will become an artist nor a clef de cuisine by simply reading a book on cookery, no matter by whom or how intelligently written, and no man can ever become an artist behind the bar by simply looking into this book or possessing it. A great deal of ingenuity and taste is required on the part of a chef in an important position, and the same is required on
