塞内卡：塞内卡道德书简·摘录 13
塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康 · 财富 · 行动 · 领导
A rash seaman never considers what wind blows, or what course he steers, but runs at a venture, as if he would brave the rocks and the eddies; whereas he that is careful and considerate, informs himself beforehand where the danger lies, and what weather it is like to be: he consults his compass, and keeps aloof from those places that are infamous for wrecks and miscarriages; so does a wise man in the common business of life; he keeps out of the way from those that may do him hurt: but it is a point of prudence not to let them take notice that he does it on purpose; for that which a man shuns he tacitly condemns. Let him have a care also of _listeners_, _newsmongers_, and _meddlers_ in other people’s matters; for their discourse is commonly of such things as are never profitable, and most commonly dangerous either to be spoken or heard.

白话
核心是：明智的人像谨慎的航海者，先了解风向和危险，再避开容易出事的地方。鲁莽的水手不管风往哪吹、航线如何，凭运气硬闯，仿佛要挑战礁石和漩涡；谨慎的人则提前弄清危险和天气，查看罗盘，远离那些以沉船闻名的海域。生活中也一样，要避开可能伤害自己的人，但别让对方看出你是故意的，因为你回避什么就等于默默谴责什么。还要提防偷听者、传闲话和爱管闲事的人，他们的话多半无益，说或听都常有害。做法是：提前评估风险，低调避开，少掺和是非。
