Law 39: Stir Up Waters to Catch Fish.

  • When the waters are still, your opponents have the time and space to plot against you. So stir the waters, force the fish to the surface, get them to act before they are ready, and steal the initiative.
  • Play on uncontrollable emotions: pride, vanity, love, and hate.
  • Tantrums neither intimidate nor inspire loyalty. They only create doubts and uneasiness about your power.
  • Look at the emotional outburst as a disguised power move, an attempt to control or punish you cloaked in the form of hurt feelings and anger.

Key to Power: Keep your head while others are losing theirs.
