Road to Success1．________
Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the initial stage 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 professional sweepers now in offices, and our young men unfortunately miss that useful branch of 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．It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary．I was one of those sweepers myself．
2．________
Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is to be ambitious．I would think nothing of the young man who does not already see 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．
3．________
Persistence is the consistent factor in most people who succeed, no matter what they are succeeding at．Yet, in the work place we often seem to forget to persist what we are doing．It's easy to get discouraged when you continually try to achieve something and it doesn't work out．But remember that if you try long enough, hard enough and make adjustments along the way, sooner or later you will get to your goal．
4．________
And here is another prime condition of success, the great secret：focus your energy, thought, and capital totally 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．
5．________
The companies 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 to “put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket．” Look round you and take notice, men who do that 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 easy to fall and trip him up．
To summarize what I have said：aim for the highest; never enter a bar room; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the firm's interest yours; put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket; for as Emerson says, “no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves．”
There is a boy called Bill in my gym class who has unbearably yellow teeth that almost make everyone feel unpleasant. Recently another boy told Bill that he should “go Ajax” his teeth. Bill was crushed. If the other boy had been thinking, he would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation. He could have dealt with it with tact. He could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful, sensitive way—that’s “tact”.
If a person isn’t sensitive to another’s feelings, there is no way he or she can be tactful. Yesterday, my 5-year-old brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen on our television set. Unfortunately, he used furniture polish, which produced an oily film on the television screen. My mother smiled arid thanked him for his efforts—and then showed how to clean the screen properly. Her sensitivity enables my brother to keep his self-respect. Yet, sensitivity alone does not make tact.
“Tactfulness” also requires “truthfulness”. Doctors, for example must be truthful. If a patient has just been disabled in an accident, a tactful doctor will tell the truth—but express it with sensitivity. The doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling them curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available. Doctors must use tact with patients’ relatives as well. Instead of bluntly saying, “Your husband is disabled,” a doctor might say, “I’m sorry, but your husband has lost feeling in his legs and. . .”
Tact should not be confused with trickery. Trickery occurs when a nurse is 
about to give a patient an injection（注射） and says, “This won’t hurt a bit. ” Instead of trickery, the nurse might guarantee the patient that the discomfort of the injection is a small thing compared to the benefits of it. It would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patients about some of these benefits.
Tact is a wonderful skill to have, and tactful people are usually admired and respected. Without tact our society would become an intole
rable place to live in.
