尼可罗·马基雅维利《君主论》· The Prince · 领导 · 财富 · 认知 · 决策

4. Without doubt princes become great when they overcome the difficulties and obstacles by which they are confronted, and therefore fortune, especially when she desires to make a new prince great, who has a greater necessity to earn renown than an hereditary one, causes enemies to arise and form designs against him, in order that he may have the opportunity of overcoming them, and by them to mount higher, as by a ladder which his enemies have raised. For this reason many consider that a wise prince, when he has the opportunity, ought with craft to foster some animosity against himself, so that, having crushed it, his renown may rise higher.

白话

马基雅维利认为,君主遇到困难并克服它,才能成就伟大。命运女神想让新君主出名时,会故意给他制造敌人和麻烦,让他有机会战胜它们,像踩著敌人搭的梯子往上爬。所以有些聪明人甚至主动树敌,等打败敌人后声望更高。核心是:危机是成名的垫脚石。做法是:别怕麻烦,把挑战当成展示能力的机会,但要有把握能赢。

上下文

出自《君主论》第20章,讨论新君主如何借外部威胁建立威望,体现马基雅维利的权谋思维。
