雙語智慧書·變換你的行為模式

17．變換你的行為模式
變換你的行為模式，不要一直用同一種方式處理問題，以分散別人的注意力，有競爭對手時，更是如此。不要總是根據(jù)第一反應做事，人們會很快記住你這種一成不變的風格，并可預想到你的下一步，挫敗你的計劃。一只直飛的鳥很容易被捕殺；而迂回飛翔的小鳥則不易被抓到。最好也不要按照第二種想法做事，那樣人們也極易洞悉你的計劃。敵人一直在觀察你，你要有過人的本領(lǐng)，以智取勝。賭徒從不打出對手可預料到的牌，更不會打出對手想要的牌。

17．Vary the mode of action
Vary the mode of action; not always the same way, so as to distract attention, especially if there be a rival. Not always from first impulse; people will soon recognize the uniformity, and by anticipating, frustrate your designs. It is easy to kill a bird on the wing that flies straight: not so one that twists. Nor always act on second thoughts: people can discern the plan the second time. The enemy is on the watch, great skill is required to circumvent him. The gamester never plays the card the opponent expects, still less that which he wants.
