For a man, it's either power or woman. I am reading the art of seduction, it is more complex than the laws of power.

When you make it to the top, you need to be generous with your money. Being stingy will only create more silent enemies. Being generous will serve as additional protection for you from those who you helped.

Thanks a lot.

TheUndercover:
Most men would rather die than ask for help. Remember, I said men.

This is me in flesh and blood. That is why people are always very excited to offer any assistance,that is if I ever ask at all.

What are the practical tips to be able to build my social skills? Unless, I have a very important thing to do I hardly come out of my comfort zone (house).

You need to socialize more. Relate with people, communicate more. You can't do that from your comfort zone. If the work you do requires you to stay indoor most of the time, you need to maximize the time you spend outside. Challenge yourself. Be bold.

"If you are cruel to those who surrender to you, it deters others from surrendering to you.

By treating those who surrender to you well, you encourage others to surrender."

Not with Boko Haram and bandits!

One way or another, we are all victims of circumstances.
You either complain and live a aimless life or simply get on with it and try and make the best of the cards life dealt you.

In life,
you are either a Predator or a Prey.

Wow!
How come nobody notified me of a thread like this?
Subscribing voraciously....

Can their type be helped? or would FLEEING be the best option?

My guy, go rest.


Una dey behave as if, say, one day, una no go still die.

Why should you cheat, because you want to be successful?

Why should you justify cheating?

My friend, I like you and I say to you that you’re a föol with confidence .

The latter option would be more preferable.

pansophist:
The power game is one that requires self control. If you can't control yourself and react emotionally to everything, then you'll suffer in the hands of others. Someone insults you, trying to tempt you into a fist fight? You ignore and not fight them, because even if you will win, you actually do not know their plan, if they carry a weapon, or as a reason to ploy a devastating revenge.

Not every battle is worth winnin. Some battles even if you win, the cure is worth than the disease, and emotional reaction is a wrong method to determine battles worth fighting. Self control is the destination, emotions, tantrums and provocations are like the barking dog, rain, and smoke.

If you can't control yourself, you'll be a slave to everyone, everything, and you've killed your unborn self. For example, sleeping with multiple women, risking pregnancy and disease, or being addicted to financial holes such as smoking, clubbing materialism etc, habits that could be tackled with proper self control.

Controlling yourself is the greatest power you can ever have. Just as a ship only sink when water from the ocean goes inside it, a man that cannot control himself will be sinked by the world. You'll easily fall for everything, and never reach your full potential.

No man is free who is not master of himself. Epictetus.

This is as deep as it is truth.
Thanks for sharing.

So, do you need to be a Machiavellist to get to the top?

No, you don’t. Most people get to the top by being honest and straightforward.

This is the only statement I disagree with in your post. Most people get to the top by being ruthlessly cunning. They only just make it seem like they're honest and straightforward.
Take it from me: You will never get to the top if you are truly honest and straightforward in all you do. The cunning guys will take your shine and be referred to as "honest and straightforward".
