Speaker Reed usually came to see me Sunday mornings when in New York, and it was immediately after my return from Europe that year that he called and said he had never lost control of the House before. For one moment he thought of leaving the chair and going on the floor to address the House and try to quiet it. In vain it was explained that the President had received from Spain the guarantee of self-government for Cuba. Alas! it was too late, too late!

白话
卡内基回忆，众议院议长里德在纽约时通常周日早上来看他。那年卡内基从欧洲回来不久，里德来访，说自己从未像这次这样失去对众议院的控制。有一刻他想离开议长席位，走到议员席上向全院讲话，试图让场面安静下来。人们徒劳地解释：总统已从西班牙得到古巴自治的保证。可惜，太晚了，太晚了！核心是：情绪一旦被点燃，再合理的解释也难挽回；关键信息要在事态失控前传达，否则只能眼睁睁看着局面滑向冲突。
上下文
1898年美西战争前夕，美国国会情绪激昂。里德是当时众议院议长，以强势控制议程著称。卡内基反对这场战争，此处回忆国会失控的瞬间。
今日一问
当你发现团队或家庭的情绪正在升温时，你会提前把关键信息说清楚，还是等到局面失控才解释？
