Andrew Carnegie：The Road to Success
卡耐基：成功之路

演讲者：安德鲁·卡耐基

地点：科里商学院

时间：1885年

【演讲者简介】

安德鲁·卡耐基（Andrew Carnegie，1835.11.25—1919.08.11），美国最大钢铁制造商，作为“钢铁大王”与“汽车大王”福特、“石油大王”洛克菲勒等名垂美国工业史。功成名就后，他又几乎将全副身家奉献社会，数额足以与死后设立诺贝尔奖金的瑞典科学家、实业家诺贝尔相媲美，由此成为美国人心目中的英雄和个人奋斗的楷模。

It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions．Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career．They were introduced to the broom，and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office．I notice we have janitors and jam tresses now in offices，and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of a business education．But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning，the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom．The other day a fond fashionable mother in Michigan asked a young man whether he had even seen a young lady sweep in a room so grandly as her Priscilla．He said so，he never had，and the mother was gratified beyond measure，but then said he，after a pause，“What I should like to see her do is sweep out a room.”It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary．I was one of those sweepers myself.

Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started，my advice to you is “aim high”．I would not give a fig for the young man who has not already seen himself the partner or the head of an important firm．Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk，or foreman，or general manager in any concern，no matter how extensive．Say to yourself，“My place is at the top.”Be king in your dreams.

And here is the prime condition of success，the great secret：concentrate your energy，thought，and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged．Having begun in one line，resolve to fight it out on that line，to lead in it，adopt every improvement，have the best machinery，and know the most about it.

The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital，which means that they have scattered their brains also．They have investments in this，or that，or the other，here，there，and everywhere．“Don\'t put all your eggs in one basket”is all wrong．I tell you “put all your eggs in one basket，and then watch that basket”．Look round you and take notice；men who do that do not often fail．It is easy to watch and carry the one basket．It is trying to carry too many baskets，that breaks most eggs in this country．He who carries three baskets must put one on his head，which is apt to tumble and trip him up．One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration.

To summarize what I have said：Aim for the highest，never enter a bar room；do not touch liquor，or if at all only at meals；never speculate；never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund；make the firm\'s interest yours；break orders always to save owners；concentrate；put all your eggs in one basket，and watch that basket；expenditure always within revenue；lastly be not impatient，for，as Emerson says，“no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves.”

其实，年轻人就应该从头做起、从最底层做起。匹兹堡很多商业巨头在创业之初都曾身负“重任”。他们与扫帚相伴，将商业生涯最初的时光消耗在了打扫办公室上。我发现现在办公室里都有保洁员，我们的年轻人也由此而不幸错过了商业教育中有益的一门课。但如果碰巧哪天早上专职保洁员没来，那个具有未来合伙人潜质的小伙子便会毫不犹豫地拿起扫帚。又有一天在密歇根，一位人见人爱的时尚母亲问一个年轻人，是否看见一位扫地扫得十分开心的小姐，也就是她的女儿普里西拉。他说他看见了，其实他并没有看见。这位母亲听后却十分高兴，但过了一会儿他又说：“我是想看见她扫地的。”必要时让新来的员工扫扫地也无妨，也不会有什么损失。我自己就曾经扫过地。

假如你已经被录用，也已经开始工作了，我对你的建议是：要“志存高远”。如果一个年轻人自己都不把自己看作大公司的合伙人或老总，我对他也会不屑一顾。无论你做了总管、领班还是总经理，就算这个职位再高，也不要有任何的满足。告诉你自己：“我注定是巅峰人物。”做你梦中的王者。

现在说一下成功的首要条件，同时也是最大秘诀：将你的精力、思想和资本全部投入到你所从事的事业中。一旦开始一项事业，就是要将这项事业做出一个结果，要做这一行的领军人物，应用所有优化措施，采用顶级硬件设备，透彻钻研专业知识。

一些公司之所以会失败，主要是因为他们分散了资本，这也就意味着他们的精力分散了。他们投资这个项目，又投资那个项目，还投资别的项目；在这里投资，又在那里投资，简直是到处投资。“不要把所有的鸡蛋都放在一个篮子里”这个说法是完全错误的。我要告诉你：“把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里，然后看好这个篮子。”环顾四周，你会注意到：这么做的人其实很少失败。照看、携带一个篮子总归是容易的。反而是尝试一次携带多个篮子——美国的大部分鸡蛋就是这么被打破的。携带三个篮子的人，必须把一个篮子顶在头上，而这个篮子就很容易掉下来，把他自己绊倒。美国商人的一个缺点就是缺乏专注力。

总结一下我讲的内容：要志存高远，不要出入酒吧；要滴酒不沾，喝也只在用餐时喝少许；不要投机；不要寅吃卯粮；要把公司的利益当作自己的利益；永远只为挽救货主才取消订单；要专注；要把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里，然后看好篮子；要量入为出；最后，要有耐心，就像爱默生所说：“能阻止你最终获得成功的没有别人，只有你自己。”

I grew up on a steady diet of science fiction．In high school I took a bus to school an hour each way every day．And I was always absorbed in a book，science fiction book，which took my mind to other worlds，and satisfied，in a narrative form，this insatiable sense of curiosity that I had.

And an interesting thing happened；the Jacques Cousteau shows actually got me very excited about the fact that there was an alien world right here on E
