My eyes were kept full upon him. There was a silence that could be felt. The great bully hesitated, but I knew whatever he did, he was beaten. If he left it was because he had treated the meeting discourteously by keeping his hat on, he was no gentleman; if he remained and took off his hat, he had been crushed by the rebuke. I didn't care which course he took. He had only two and either of them was fatal. He had delivered himself into my hands. He very slowly took off the hat and put it on the floor. Not a word did he speak thereafter in that conference. I was told afterward that he had to leave the place. The men rejoiced in the episode and a settlement was harmoniously effected.

白话
卡内基眼睛一直盯着那个领头人,全场静得让人发慌。这个平时横行的人犹豫了,但卡内基知道,无论他怎么选都已经输了:如果他就这样戴着帽子离开,那就是对会议失礼,算不得绅士;如果他留下来并摘下帽子,就等于被无声的责备压服。卡内基不在乎他选哪条路,因为两条路对他都是死路——他已经把自己交到卡内基手里。最后,那人慢慢摘下帽子放到地上,整场会议再没说过一句话。后来卡内基听说他不得不离开那个地方,工人们为这一幕高兴,协议也顺利达成。
上下文
卡内基自传中回忆这次谈判的转折点:他用沉默和注视让带头闹事者当众失势。
今日一问
面对一个靠气势压人的人,你是否试过不争吵,而是让他自己的举动暴露失礼?
