38.急流勇退

急流勇退。所有的高级玩家均长于此道。适时的撤退正如巧妙的进攻。一旦功德圆满,即便还有更多盛名,也要急流勇退。络绎不绝的好运总是十分可疑。断续的好运似乎更安全一些,对于那些喜欢品尝忧喜参半之味的人来说,似乎也更甜美。当好运来得太多太快时,危险也越大,且可能一塌糊涂。有时,幸运女神的青睐虽然很强烈,但是却很短暂。背一个人太久了,她很快就会厌倦的。

38.Leave your luck while winning

Leave your luck while winning. All the best players do it. A fine retreat is as good as a gallant attack. Bring your exploits under cover when there are enough, or even when there are many of them. Luck long lasting was ever suspicious; interrupted seems safer, and is even sweeter to the taste for a little infusion of bitter-sweet. The higher the heap of luck, the greater the risk of a slip, and down comes all. Fortune pays you sometimes for the intensity of her favours by the shortness of their duration. She soon tires of carrying anyone long on her shoulders.
