不要显得比上司高明Avoid Victories over Superiors

All victories breed hate, and that over your superior is foolish or fatal. Superiority is always detested, à fortiori superiority over superiority.
智慧英语短文:被别人比下去是很令人恼恨的事情，所以要是你的上司被你超过，这对你来说不仅是蠢事，甚而至于产生致命后果

Caution can gloss over common advantages; for example, good looks may be cloaked by careless attire. duanwenw.com There be some that will grant you precedence in good luck or good temper, but none in good sense, least of all a prince; for good sense is a royal prerogative, any claim of superiority in that is a crime against majesty. They are princes, and wish to be so in that most princely of qualities. They will allow a man to help them but not to surpass them, and will have any advice tendered them appear like a recollection of something they have forgotten rather than as a guide to something they cannot find. The stars teach us this finesse with happy tact; though they are his children and brilliant like him, they never rival the brilliancy of the sun.
自以为优越总是讨人嫌的，特别容易招惹上司和人君嫉恨，因此，对寻常的优点可以小心加以掩盖，例如相貌长得太好亦不妨用某种缺陷加以抵消。大多数的人对于在运气、性格和气质方面被超过并不太介意，但是却没有一个人（尤其是领导人）喜欢在智力上被人超过。因为智力是人格特征之王，冒犯了它无异犯下弥天大罪。当领导的总是要显示出在一切重大的事情上都比其他人高明。君王喜欢有人辅佐，却不喜欢被人超过。如果你想向某人提出忠告，你应该显得你只是在提醒他某种他本来就知道不过偶然忘掉的东西，而不是某种要靠你解谜释惑才能明白的东西，此中奥妙亦可从天上群星的情况悟得：尽管星星都有光明，却不敢比太阳更亮。
