[00:07.281]The  prime  condition  great  secrets  of  success
[00:12.584]It  is  well  that  young  men  should  begin  at  the
[00:15.192]beginning  and  occupy  the  most  subordinate
[00:16.786]positions.Many  of  the  leading  businessmen  of
[00:20.291]Pittsburgh  had  a  serious  responsibility  thrust
[00:22.355]upon  them  at  the  very  threshold  of  their
[00:24.306]career.They  were  introduced  to  the  broom,and
[00:26.540]spent  the  first  hours  of  their  business  lives
[00:28.267]sweeping  out  the  office.I  notice  we  have
[00:30.731]janitors  and  janitresses  now  in  offices,and
[00:34.427]our  young  men  unfortunately  miss  that  salutary
[00:36.404]branch  of  business  education.But  if  by  chance
[00:40.720]the  professional  sweeper  is  absent  any
[00:43.921]morning,the  boy  who  has  the  genius  of  the
[00:45.857]future  partner  in  him  will  not  hesitate  to  try
[00:48.356]his  hand  at  the  broom.The  other  day  a  fond
[00:51.26]fashionable  mother  in  Michigan  asked  a  young
[00:53.399]man  whether  he  had  ever  seen  a  lady  sweep  in  a
[00:55.819]room  so  grandly  as  her  Priscilla.He  said  no,
[00:58.400]he  never  had ,and  the  mother  was  gratified
[01:01.148]beyond  measure,but  then  said  he ,after  a
[01:05.897]pause,“What  I  should  like  to  see  her  do  is
[01:09.892]sweep  out  a  room ”It  does  not  hurt  the  newest
[01:12.191]comer  to  sweep  out  the  office  if  necessary.I
[01:14.466]was  one  of  those  sweepers  myself.
[01:15.832]that  you  have  all  obtained  employment  and  are
[01:19.363]fairly  started,my  advice  to  you  is “aim  high
[01:22.680]”.I  would  not  give  a  fig  for  the  young  man
[01:25.348]who  does  not  already  see  himself  the  partner
[01:27.280]or  the  head  of  an  important  firm.Do  not  rest
[01:29.796]content  for  a  moment  in  your  thoughts  as  head
[01:32.821]clerk,or  foreman,or  general  manager  in  any
[01:34.778]concern,no  matter  how  extensive.Say  to
[01:38.584]yourself ，“My  place  is  at  the  top.”Be  king
[01:41.566]in  your  dreams.
[01:44.646]condition  of  success,the  great  secret:
[01:46.253]concentrate  your  energy,thought,and  capital
[01:49.303]exclusively  upon  the  business  in  which  you  are
[01:52.719]engaged.Having  begun  in  one  line,resolve  to
[01:55.452]fight  it  out  on  that  line,to  lead  in  it,
[01:58.690]adopt  every  improvement,have  the  best
[02:01.82]machinery,and  know  the  most  about  it.
[02:02.715]concerns  which  fail  are  those  which  have
[02:06.528]scattered  their  capital,which  means  that  they
[02:09.903]have  scattered  their  brains  also.They  have
[02:13.55]investments  in  this,or  that,or  the  other,
[02:15.460]here  there,and  everywhere.“Don ’t  put  all
[02:19.69]your  eggs  in  one  basket.”is  all  wrong.I
[02:22.291]tell  you  to “put  all  your  eggs  in  one  basket,
[02:24.827]and  then  watch  that  basket.”Look  round  you
[02:27.624]and  take  notice,men  who  do  that  not  often
[02:31.23]fail.It  is  easy  to  watch  and  carry  the  one
[02:35.235]basket.It  is  trying  to  carry  too  many  baskets
[02:37.735]，which  break  most  eggs  in  this  country.He
[02:41.520]who  carries  three  baskets  must  put  one  on  his
[02:44.266]head,which  is  apt  to  tumble  and  trip  him  up.
[02:48.35]One  fault  of  the  American  businessman  is  lack
[02:51.179]of  concentration.
[02:55.105]said:aim  for  the  highest;never  enter  a  bar
[02:58.111]room;do  not  touch  liquor,or  if  at  all  only
[03:01.405]at  meals;never  speculate;never  indorse
[03:04.760]beyond  your  surplus  cash  fund;make  the  firm ’
[03:08.630]s  interest  yours;break  orders  always  to  save
[03:11.83]owners;concentrate;put  all  your  eggs  in  one
[03:14.919]basket,and  watch  that  basket;expenditure
[03:18.579]always  within  revenue;lastly,be  not
[03:25.177]impatient,for  as  Emerson  says,“no  one  can
[03:28.73]cheat  you  out  of  ultimate  success  but
[03:29.522]yourselves.
