31．學會趨利避害 學會趨利避害。霉運往往是對愚蠢的懲罰，且極易傳染。不要以惡小而開門，因為大惡往往會隨之而來。玩牌的訣竅是：你應明白自己何時該捨棄某張牌。在過去的一局中，最大的牌也比不上現在最小的王牌。假如你舉棋不定，記得結交智慧而審慎的人，他們遲早會贏。 31．Select the lucky and avoid the unlucky Select the lucky and avoid the unlucky. Ill-luck is generally the penalty of folly, and there is no disease so contagious to those who share in it. Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it. The greatest skill at cards is to know when to discard; the smallest of current trumps is worth more than the ace of trumps of the last game. When in doubt, follow the suit of the wise and prudent; sooner or later they will win the odd trick.
