212．懂得保留絕招的藝術
　　懂得保留絕招的藝術。大師在授徒之時，便是憑這個箴言保持尊貴的地位：永遠領先于人，才能保持大師的地位。教授別人，一定要講究技巧。知識和禮物的來源都不能告訴他人，這樣，才能保持他人對你的敬仰和遵從。不管是娛樂還是教學，都要遵循這個規(guī)則：保持人們對你的期待，保持自己的優(yōu)勢。懂得保留，對人生、對成功，都是重要的法則，對那些身居高位的人來說，尤其如此。


212．Keep to yourself the final touches of your art
　Keep to yourself the final touches of your art. This is a maxim of the great masters who pride themselves on this subtlety in teaching their pupils: one must always remain superior, remain master. One must teach an art artfully. The source of knowledge need not be pointed out no more than that of giving. By this means a man preserves the respect and the dependence of others. In amusing and teaching you must keep to the rule: keep up expectation and advance in perfection. To keep a reserve is a great rule for life and for success, especially for those in high place.
