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".
--From Andrew Carnegie: "The Road to Success"
I summarize what I said as follows: Aim for the top; never set foot in a bar ; Don't drink alcohol, even if it's just with a meal; Never speculate; Never exceed your surplus cash reserves when signing for payment; The purpose of canceling an order is always to save the owner; Concentrate on putting all your eggs aside Put in one basket and take care of that basket; expenses are always less than income; and finally, don't lose patience. Because as Emerson said, "No one can coax you away from final success but yourself."
