[Nairalanders 48 Days of Power] Day 4 - "Always say less than necessary." Law #4 "Always say less than necessary When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish. .. Let's hear your criticism,chipins, transgressions, observances, and reversals. ... Here are the previous day of power links...

CL:Apollyon Cl:ILEMN To amplify the authors point, this was of course the shortest chapter in the book. . "Keys to power: Power is in many ways a game of appearances, and when you say less than necessary, you inevitably appear greater and more powerful than you are. Your silence will make other people uncomfortable. . Humans are machines of interpretation and explanation; they have to know what you are thinking. When you carefully control what you reveal, they cannot pierce your intentions or your meaning." "By saying less than necessary you create the appearance of meaning and power. Also, the less you say, the less risk you run of saying something foolish, even dangerous." . Let others do the majority of the talking, this will allow you to focus on improving the other laws of power. Many of the laws are congruent. It is never too early to shut-up. Practice speaking directly to the point. . "There are two rules for success: 1. Never tell everything you know-Roger H. Lincoln" . Cc:dgr8est, dammypaine 1 Like 1 Share |
