P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 277
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
I was at my Museum in Philadelphia when Wilton arrived in New York, February 19, 1850. He immediately telegraphed to me, in the cipher we had agreed upon, that he had signed an engagement with Jenny Lind, by which she was to commence her concerts in America in the following September. I was somewhat startled by this sudden announcement; and feeling that the time to elapse before her arrival was so long that it would be policy to keep the engagement private for a few months, I immediately telegraphed him not to mention it to any person, and that I would meet him the next day in New York.

白话
1850年2月19日，威尔顿一到纽约就给在费城博物馆的巴纳姆发密电，说已经跟林德签了约，她当年九月开始在美国演出。巴纳姆又惊又喜，但马上想到离她来还有大半年，消息太早放出去不利，于是立刻回电让威尔顿先别告诉任何人，第二天他到纽约当面商量。这里体现的是节奏感：合同签了不等于马上宣传，什么时候公布、怎么公布，要按整体计划来。今天做项目也一样，好消息先按住，等时机成熟再放，效果更好。

这是巴纳姆回忆录中记载的1850年2月威尔顿签约后与巴纳姆密电沟通的经过。
今日一问
你手上有没有已经谈成但还没到公布时机的好消息？你打算怎么控制节奏？
