It’s 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 janitresses 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 will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom.
Assuming that you’ve 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 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.
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. It is easy to watch and carry one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that break most eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to trip him up. One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration.
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 just one basket, and watch that basket; expenditure always within revenuer lastly be not impatient, for as Emerson says, "No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves."
What’s the advice given to those career beginners?

答案
本题是细节题,第二段第一句给出了答案。在本段中作者谈到,年轻人在思想上不能满足于现状,不能满足于首席职员、领班或总经理等职位,要不断告诉自己“我的位置在最顶层”,这样在思想领域,你就是人上人。
