P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 134
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Returning to the Museum I gave orders to have the string of flags made ready, with directions at daylight on the Fourth of July to attach one end of the rope to one of the third story windows of the Museum, and the other end to a tree in St. Paul’s churchyard. The great day arrived, and my orders were strictly followed. The flags attracted great attention, and before nine o’clock I have no doubt that hundreds of additional visitors were drawn by this display into the Museum. By half-past nine Broadway was thronged, and about that time two gentlemen in a high state of excitement rushed into my office, announcing themselves as injured and insulted vestrymen of St. Paul’s Church.

白话
巴纳姆回博物馆后，让人准备好旗绳，吩咐独立日天亮时把绳子一头绑在博物馆三楼窗户，另一头绑在圣保罗教堂墓地的树上。大日子到了，命令被严格执行。国旗吸引大量注意，九点前就有数百额外游客被拉进博物馆。九点半百老汇挤满人，两个愤怒的教堂委员冲进他办公室，自称被侮辱。巴纳姆先斩后奏，用既成事实制造营销效果，但也引发冲突。这提醒：变通能带来短期流量，却可能损害长期关系；用之前要权衡代价，想好如何收场。
上下文

今日一问
为了短期效果，你愿意承担破坏关系的风险吗？有没有更稳妥的替代方案？
