P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
But they liked better, they said, to get the party angry. A fortnight before, they told me, my friend Howard Paul had left them in disgust, because they insisted upon smoking while his wife was on the stage, adding that the entertainment was excellent and that Howard Paul could have made a thousand pounds if he had not let his anger drive him away. My new-found friends parted with me at the railway station, heartily urging me to come again, and my ticket seller returned £169 as the immediate result of an evening’s good-natured fun with the Oxford boys.

白话
学生们告诉巴纳姆,他们更喜欢把演讲者惹怒。两周前,他的朋友霍华德·保罗因为妻子在台上时学生坚持抽烟而愤然离开,其实演出很好,若不动怒本可赚一千英镑。巴纳姆与这些新朋友在火车站告别,他们热情邀他再来,售票员交回一百六十九英镑,正是与牛津男孩们善意玩笑一晚的直接收入。这说明,面对故意挑衅,保持好脾气能把冲突变成收益;愤怒只会赶走机会。
上下文
巴纳姆在牛津演讲后,学生告诉他之前气走另一位表演者的经历,对比之下巴纳姆的应对带来了高收入。
今日一问
当别人故意激怒你时,你能否先稳住情绪,把局面变成双赢?
