What reading level is Sketches Speeches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He usually begins life with nothing. That is the best way to begin. The man who saves his first capital out of wages through the years is likely to be the most care- ful in handling it, and the most successful in increasing it. Having made a beginning he sets a definite object before his mind and resolves to become an expert in his business. He has the capacity to see that this is the day of the spe- cialist — that the best judge of carpets, for ex- Grip and Grit 107 ample, commands more salary... than the Chief Justice of the United States. He resolves to persevere, and he does persevere in his busi- ness until no one knows more about it in all its details than he. He feels competition but he pays no attention to it. He sees one shoot past him by dishonest means, but he knows that such apparent success is really failure. He sees others suddenly gain a fortune by lucky specu- lation, but he lives long enough to see nearly all of them lose it again by the same easy way. He sticks faithfully to his work, never shirking re- sponsibility, but welcoming it as an opportu- nity — and gradually there develops in him that self-reliance, that judgment of men and enter- prises; that clear-minded way of seeing things as they are and not as they are represented, that courage, faith, and far-sightedness which all go to make up the successful business man.
