Choose your friends and foes carefully:
Choose your close friends and those you disagree with wisely. The people around you can greatly affect your life, so it’s important to pick those who will help you and stay away from those who might hold you back. You should know who you are dealing with. Friends and foes take your energy, so you should get alert and be wise to get drained of your energy on your connections.
Don’t compromise too much:
Dot give up too much of what you need or believe in when making deals or choices with others. It’s important to find a balance between helping others and sticking to what matters to you. Stay independent and do not get caught in other’s issues.
Act naive to outsmart others:
Pretend to be a fool that you know nothing, let others think they have the upper hand on you. Sometimes, looking not as smart can help you. It can make people think less of you, which lets you surprise them.
Create your own identity:
Making your own identity means finding out what you can do, deciding what you want to achieve, and figuring out how to use your abilities. Creating your own self-identity is a deeply personal journey that involves introspection, exploration, and growth. Numerous factors, including one’s appearance, experiences, knowledge, attitude, habits, and so forth, contribute to one’s identity. No one can become a clone of anyone, everyone is unique. You cannot make a copy of someone’s identity and become that person to shape you own future.
Keep your hands clean:
It is important to stay away from actions that could harm your reputation. Instead, letting others handle those tasks to keep your image clean and trustworthy. Make others responsible for problems and keep your hands clean from the burden of the responsibilities.
Be bold:
Timidity can be risky, while boldness is strong. If you make mistakes while being bold, you can fix them by being even bolder. People admire those who are bold; no one respects those who are shy.
Plan thoroughly:
A plan helps you know what to do. When you understand your priorities, goals, and tasks, you can better see what is important. When new chances come up, you can easily decide to say yes or no based on what matters to you and what you have planned. So always plan thoroughly to avoid surprises in a bad way.
Control choices:
It means showing fewer options to pick from, which can help people decide faster and feel happier because they would not feel confused by too many choices. We refer to this concept as the “paradox of choice.” Limiting the options available to others is a kind of coercion or dominance. Give people limited options to guide their decisions.
Appeal to dreams:
Create appealing stories to escape the dullness of everyday life, and people will want to listen. The truth can be unpleasant, so stories are more enjoyable. Tell the right story what they want to listen, at the right time, and you will gain money and power to connect with people’s emotions to gain influence.
Find other’s weaknesses:
Talking about weaknesses can help people feel closer to each other. Sharing what makes us vulnerable can build stronger connections because it lets us understand each other better. Understand what drives people to influence them.
Act with dignity:
Behaving in a calm, collected way that inspires respect and admiration from others is what it means to act with dignity. You deserve of respect from others if you are a person of dignity. Dignity is a greatness, so present yourself with greatness and powerful.
Master timing:
Establish attainable goals that you can strive for rather than waiting for the ideal opportunity. Divide your most ambitious objectives into smaller, more doable tasks that you can start right away. Act imperfectly, wait for the right moment, keep in mind that inaction is frequently the result of waiting for the ideal opportunity.
Do not want what you cannot have:
To give yourself a break from thinking about your fixation, locate something appealing and enjoyable to divert your attention. On an emotional level, this will serve as a helpful reminder that other aspects of life are still significant. Help a buddy in need, watch a fun movie, or read a compelling book. Do not wish to have things that you cannot have and avoid obsessing over unattainable things.
Think freely act normally:
The capacity to produce ideas and thoughts free from fear, bias, or prejudice is known as thinking freely. It can improve your creativity and problem-solving abilities, let you explore new options, and help you make better decisions. Do not openly challenge social norms. Deviance, or disobedience to social norms, can be regarded as inappropriate and abnormal behaviour. The unwritten standards that govern human behaviour and specify what is proper and acceptable in a society or group are known as social norms. Depending on the culture, those who violate social norms are frequently viewed as misfits or face harsh penalties.
Be wary of free things:
Freebies are frequently offered to entice you to purchase something you might not need. Free offers often come with hidden costs. They may contribute to clutter or sometimes it can be scammed you. So always be careful when someone offer you something free it can cost you a lot more than you think..
Focus on winning hearts and minds:
Appealing to people’s feelings and logic in order to get their support is referred to as “working on their hearts and minds.” It can be applied in a number of situations, such as insurgency, commercial promotion, and warfare. Understand people to influence them.
Do not be too perfect:
Avoid being overly flawless, as this can breed jealousy. It refers to the fact that people may feel inferior to you when you appear perfect or without flaws, they become envious and start hating you, so it’s better to be vulnerable and imperfect in order to prevent resentment.
Be flexible:
Being adaptable or easily changed might be a sign of flexibility. Be able to adjust to new circumstances and modify plans without feeling pressured. Have a solid support system, be upbeat, and be open-minded. Additionally, you can push yourself beyond your comfort zone and adapt new challenges and do not stick to one way of doing things.
Conclusion:
These principles aim to navigate power dynamics, and are designed to handle situations of power, but it’s important to consider context and personal ethics when applying them.
