48 laws of power

Estos días he faltado a la escuela y a entrenar basquet por que no me he sentido del todo bien. Me he pasado las horas estudiando y leyendo sobre las 48 laws of power( explicaré eso más tarde). Anyway, también estuve investigando y así sobre el NPL ( Neuro-Linguistic-Programming) que está bien cool y puedes programar a la gente para que sientan determinadas emociones y para que reaccionen de determinada manera. Tal vez crean que estoy exagerando, pero una buena mezcla de NPL, las  48 laws, un poco de PUA por aquí y por allá y listo, el mundo y sus mentes son míos. Ah, estas son las 48 laws of power:

  1. Never outshine the master. 
  2. Never put too much trust in friends; learn how to use enemies. 
  3. Conceal your intentions. 
  4. Always say less than necessary. 
  5. So much depends on reputation. Guard it with your life. 
  6. Court attention at all costs. 
  7. Get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit. 
  8. Make other people come to you; use bait if necessary. 
  9. Win through your actions, never through argument. 
  10. Infection: avoid the unhappy and unlucky. 
  11. Learn to keep people dependent on you. 
  12. Use selective honesty and generosity to disarm your victim. 
  13. When asking for help, appeal to people's self-interests, never to their mercy or gratitude. 
  14. Pose as a friend, work as a spy. 
  15. Crush your enemy totally. 
  16. Use absence to increase respect and honor. 
  17. Keep others in suspended terror: cultivate an air of unpredictability. 
  18. Do not build fortresses to protect yourself. Isolation is dangerous. 
  19. Know who you're dealing with; do not offend the wrong person. 
  20. Do not commit to anyone. 
  21. Play a sucker to catch a sucker: play dumber than your mark. 
  22. Use the surrender tactic: transform weakness into power. 
  23. Concentrate your forces. 
  24. Play the perfect courtier. 
  25. Re-create yourself. 
  26. Keep your hands clean. 
  27. Play on people's need to believe to create a cultlike following. 
  28. Enter action with boldness. 
  29. Plan all the way to the end. 
  30. Make your accomplishments seem effortless. 
  31. Control the options: get others to play with the cards you deal. 
  32. Play to people's fantasies. 
  33. Discover each man's thumbscrew. 
  34. Be royal in your fashion: act like a king to be treated like one. 
  35. Master the art of timing. 
  36. Disdain things you cannot have: Ignoring them is the best revenge. 
  37. Create compelling spectacles 
  38. Think as you like but behave like others. 
  39. Stir up waters to catch fish. 
  40. Despise the free lunch. 
  41. Avoid stepping into a great man's shoes. 
  42. Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter. 
  43. Work on the hearts and minds of others. 
  44. Disarm and infuriate with the mirror effect. 
  45. Preach the need for change, but never reform too much at once. 
  46. Never appear perfect. 
  47. Do not go past the mark you aimed for; in victory, learn when to stop. 
  48. Assume formlessness. 
Listo, felicidades lector, eres ahora inmortal.

  1. De el libro 48 Laws of Power; Greene, Robert. 1998.
    "... everything must appear civilized, decent, democratic, and fair. But if we play by those rules strictly, if we take them too literally, we are crushed by those around us who are not so foolish."
    "...As the great diplomat and courtier Niccolò Machiavelli wrote, 'Any man who tries to be good all the time is bound to come to ruin among the great number who are not good'".

    Es bueno saber que el futuro Willy critica duramente a Greene, y cree que exactamente por este tipo de pensamiento no podemos tener una sociedad que lucha por un bien común. Aunque sean puntos de vista interesantes, si buscamos lo que Willy quiere (una sociedad pseudocomunista), las personas que siguen estas reglas son las que más potencial tienen para corromper una sociedad como la ejemplificada por el buen Guili.
