"When you hear good advice, you should always do two things: Take it in and pass it on."

The number one reason people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go instead of how far they have come. But it's a series of small wins that can give us the most significant success.

A narrow focus brings big results

Whether you're at work or at school when you're there you show up in the present time. Don't daydream about the past and the future concentrate in the present.

Show up fully

If you weren't watching the whole situation you can't say that you are sure that you saw that. Don't assume that you did.

Don't make assumptions

The unhappiest people are those who care most about what other people think.

Don't try to impress everyone

These ideas are important to me because they have been quite a hand. I hope they help you too!

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
