신념의 마력

C. M. 브리스톨

반세기가 넘도록 전세계 수백만 명의 독자들에게 영감을 주고 그들의 삶을 변화시키며 성공과 실패, 행복과 불행을 가져오는 위대한 삶의 원칙을 제시하여 세계적인 성공학 거장의 반열에 오른 클로드 브리스톨. 1891년에 태어난 그는 경찰출입기자로 시작해 대도시 신문사의 종교 담당 기자로 일하면서 능력 있는 저널리스트로 활약했고, 제1차 세계대전에 참전해 1919년까지 미군 신문인 '스타스 앤 스트라이프스Stars and Stripes'에서 기자로 활동했다. 고국으로 돌아온 그는 투자 은행에 입사해 어마어마한 부를 쌓으며 그 투자 경험을 바탕으로 부사장이 되었으나 세계 최대 경제 불황을 겪으면서 심각한 어려움에 직면하게 되었다. 스스로 위기를 극복해 낸 그는 자신의 경험을 토대로 난관에 부딪힌 수많은 사람들에게 희망을 주기 위해 1932년 소책자 'TNT, 지구를 흔드는 힘TNT-It Rocks The Earth'을 출간하여 커다란 반향을 불러일으켰다. 수많은 기업과 단체 및 세일즈맨들을 대상으로 확고한 신념의 법칙을 강의한 인기 강사이기도 했던 그는 1951년에 생을 마감했다.
