P. 1
- Today is the most important day of my life…
- Power, seduction, and war
- Be original
- Mastered the art of indirection. A hidden connection is stronger than an obvious one- like a billiard ball, moves several times before it hits its target.
- Everyday is a new life
- We are writing our own stories
- Life is good
- Things are not always what they seem
- Never appear too Perfect, It is smart to occasionally display imperfection, in order to appear more human and approachable
- Seem Dumber than your Mark make your victims feel smart – and not just smart, but smarter than you are. So they will never suspect that you may have hidden motives.
- Life is a game if you can not win… cheat… play with strategy. Plan and develop your moves.
- What you do not do, counts as half of your power. Just do less mistake than the next person. You get bigger and more powerful with each war you avoid.
- It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.
- Use Absence to Increase Respect and Honor. Too much circulation makes the price go down: The more you are seen and heard from, the more common you appear. Create value through scarcity.
- You got to dream, you got to protect it.
- Most people don't live at all… Gods envy us. They envy us because we are mortal, because any moment might be our last; everything’s more beautiful because we are doomed.
