But I wonder, did Jesus Christ follow these laws?
Did He get someone to do the dirty work for Him while he kept his hands clean?
Did He pretend to be a friend while he worked as a spy
Did he manipulate people?

Most of these points are really true, but sadly any person that masters all is a manipulator and a very evil person.
Having said, the best thing would be to pick the few that are relevant in ones life

Never under-estimate the power of one a woman. . . . . Napoleon conquered Europe except britain but his greatest defeat wasn't because as a powerful man he couldn't conquer Britain but because he fell in love with a woman and he became powerless and loving.

I love being myself and free.

I can never be the person described above, never. I am a most humble being who can come down to the lowest of people, play with them and be happy. I dislike manipulators to the core.

It's ok Bros. I didn't pick any offense sir. And no. I won't be surprised because i "have" read quit alot" myself.

Right now men, i am looking for money to o. i want to be pursing or even surpass "bill gates" so no time for books... All the books i have read hasn't got me anywhere. They will only catalyze your ego and nothing more. While others are busy making money, you are busy arguing topics, trying to prove how intelligent you are...

talk2macs: God protect from my friends, i‎​​ can take care of my enemies (voltiare)
I got it from the law five years ago, and it has really affected my way with people
I've noticed it too. The People I call "friends" are the ones who always do things against me. 1 called me the other day n started telling me of a girl that was calling my hubby b4 we got married. The other1 called my mother in law and was dissing me, because I told her how my mother in law finds fault in things I do. I've learnt my lesson though

Once in a while, a handsome and one of a kind thread comes up. This one of it. I have downloaded this book and I am startled how much I could have done if I read this book 4 yrs ago. By now I would have trippled my wealth and create so much aura that the world will be too small for me. Today, I have learned something. Thanks to the OP.
