South-Bound Carriage, North-Bound Tracks
想到南方却驾车往北，马好、盘缠多、车夫熟也只能更远。方向错了，条件越好错得越远。
Wanting the south while driving north: better horses and more money only take you farther wrong. Direction beats horsepower.
先校准方向，再加大投入。
Calibrate direction before scaling effort.
After the moral, ask one question: if a similar choice showed up today, where does the story snag? Name that tension first—then take your own step. You need not copy the ancients, only borrow their clarity.
