Upper triangular matrix/Eigenvalues/Exercise

Let

${}M={\begin{pmatrix}d_{1}&\ast &\cdots &\cdots &\ast \\0&d_{2}&\ast &\cdots &\ast \\\vdots &\ddots &\ddots &\ddots &\vdots \\0&\cdots &0&d_{n-1}&\ast \\0&\cdots &\cdots &0&d_{n}\end{pmatrix}}\,$

be an upper triangular matrix. Show that an eigenvalue of ${}M$ is a diagonal entry of ${}M$.
