10 powerful laws to get ahead in life and living with purpose:
1) Never Outshine the Master:
When you put yourself in front of the world and show off your talents, you naturally provoke all kinds of resentment.
2) Always Say Less Than Necessary:
When you speak, always try to say as little as possible. The more you speak, the more likely you are to say something foolish.
3) Win Through Your Actions, Never Through Argument:
Actions speak louder than words. So, focus on winning through your actions rather than trying to win an argument.
4) Concentrate Your Forces:
Prioritize! Dedicate your focus to one front and eliminate distractions.
5) Re-Create Yourself:
Be who you want to be, and feel free to change when you like + dismiss the opinions of other.
6) Master the Art of Timing:
The timing of your actions is just as important as the actions themselves. Learn to read the situation and act accordingly. This way, you can take advantage of opportunities as they arise.
7) Plan All the Way to the End:
You need to think long-term if you want to maintain power. Consider all the possible outcomes of your actions and plan accordingly.
8) When Asking for Help, Appeal to People's Self-Interest:
If you need help, ensure your request includes how the helper will benefit. People are more likely to respond well if they know they will benefit. Create win-win scenarios.
9) Assume Formlessness:
Don't fight change - accept the past and adapt. Be anti-fragile, be shapeless/formless like how water is.
10) Be Royal in Your Own Fashion:
Think highly of yourself - Act like a king to be treated like one. People will follow your lead if they believe you're an influential figure.
