Men who never get carried away should be.

Forbes’s quip plays on the double meaning of “carried away”: being swept up by enthusiasm or emotion, and being physically removed. The line praises a capacity for ardor—ambition, excitement, even risk-taking—suggesting that a life or career lived without any moments of passion is deficient. At the same time, the punchline’s mock severity (“should be”) satirizes the social ideal of constant restraint, implying that excessive caution can be a kind of deadness. In a business-and-success ethos often associated with Forbes, the remark can be read as an endorsement of boldness: progress and creativity usually require occasional overcommitment, not perpetual composure.
