Summary: <p>Listen to episode 97 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Inspirational Book of Business (Success Principles). Edited and adapted from The Book of Business by Elbert Hubbard. <br><br><strong><a title="Motivational Podcasts" href="http://podcast.livinghour.org">Inspirational Podcast</a> Excerpt</strong>: <em>The Spirit of the Times — the Zeitgeist, to borrow a word from our German friends — is a constantly progressing entity. The present Spirit of the Times is of a kind unequaled in history. We have thousands upon thousands of men and women who are thinking great and noble thoughts and doing great and splendid work. Increasing numbers of entrepreneurs regard themselves as public servants. <br><br>Our Zeitgeist is sensitive, restless, alert, impressionable, progressive, and is making for a better future. The entrepreneur who can imagine a better future than now exists is able to throw their vision on computer screens around the world, and the individual who can formulate a better government than we now have is not hanged for their pains, but is allowed to express their dreams. <br><br>Public opinion rules. No law that is contrary to the Zeitgeist can be enforced. Judges construe, translate, and interpret the laws to suit the Spirit of the Times. Every person who speaks out loud and clear is impacting the Zeitgeist. Every person who expresses what they honestly think is true is changing the Spirit of the Time. </em></p>
