16 Laws of Psychological Power
(Inspired by Robert Greene)
(Inspired by Robert Greene) Today I write about the 16 Laws of Psychological
Number One stand above your goals ahead of the rest
People who find power and success are those who work hard and get recognized you'll blend into the background, and your work will be overshadowed and never forgotten.
How excellent you are, You are a person who builds your empire so take every opportunity to lead and prove yourself if you stand out you can achieve.
You are strong enough and never take a step back to prove yourself
You are a person who has achieved lots of things and received many rewards in your life.
Number two hide your intentions
Every powerful personality always hides their intentions.
Imagine you gave him the power in the conversation that's why it's so important to hide your intentions Intentions to yourself
Number three actions over arguments
You can argue as long and as hard as you want you can take home the moral victory
but
Don't waste your time arguing
Winning an argument achieves almost nothing to gaining psychological power don't waste your time arguing if someone wants to argue let them know that
Actions speak louder than words.
You get defensive let them nurse their ego but you know that actions speak louder than words your behavior will win over more people than a good argument ever.
Number four mind your words
The more you speak the less valuable
your speech becomes this is one of the most important laws of psychological power if you speak only when necessary you increase the power of your words people will learn to listen to you they'll learn to take you seriously and you'll earn their undying respect
so if you speak less
you also stop yourself from making clumsy mistakes
many people run their mouths and then back themselves
make promises they can't keep so if you're mindful of what you say you avoid these pointless mistakes you ensure that every word is intentional and purposeful and that gives you psychological power
Number five
Cultivate confidence your path will be littered with obstacles failures and setbacks
Cultivate confidence your path will be littered with obstacles failures and setbacks Your luck will run out people will tell you to quit and your brain will stand in your way but the people who give up deprive themselves of psychological power
So, if you want to improve and cultivate confidence in your life let your small successes empower
your self-worth let each victory give you
The courage to overcome your next obstacle psychological power isn't just your relationship with others it's also how you treat and motivate yourself
Your luck will run out people will tell you to quit and your brain will stand in your own way but people who give up deprive themselves of psychological power
Number six
Hire your enemies friends are dangerous on your path toward success
So, if you want to improve and cultivate confidence in your life let your small successes empower
your self-worth let each victory give you it's also how you treat and motivate yourself
turn a blind eye to our friends we overlook their mistakes and put too much trust in their decisions Just when you think you trust someone they stab you in the back and your career begins to suffer
So, Never trust anyone in every relationship
because their positive behavior distracts you
and
negative behavior makes you feel like you are just a failure
Instead of getting blindsided by people you trust earn the loyalty of people that you don't you may not like your enemies but hiring someone you don't trust gives you clear-headed objectivity
Your enemies will also show you more loyalty
Number seven
Because they have something to prove friends are an important part of your life
People are selfish
If you need a favor don't expect people to be selfless people are more likely to help when they have something to gain if they don't get as much as they give then you're out of luck any time you ask for a favor
Don't waste your time with kindness
Or gratitude appeal to their self-interest explain how they'll be rewarded convince them that helping you will solve their problem make sure they know exactly how they're going to benefit in the future if someone thinks they're helping themselves they're much more likely to do you a favor
Number eight
Avoid commitment Avoid unnecessary promises
.Commitments get people in trouble they lock you into one side and trap you in a box
If your team goes down you'll go down with them that's why powerful people avoid commitments they stay open to multiple sides angles and perspectives they keep one foot in every camp so they can make the most out of every situation powerful people always stay on top.
Because they're only committed to one person.
Number nine
Play yourself down everyone wants to feel intelligent
If you want to win people over make sure they feel smart sometimes that means you have to play dumb but you already know you're intelligent the fact that you can play dumb means that you have nothing to prove to put it simply most people don't care how intelligent you are all they care about is their own brain power so play into their hands make them feel smart to give them confidence in their own ideas you'll only make enemies by proving your intelligence.
Support your superiors if you want to climb the ladder
You have to respect the latter don't try to outshine the people above you these people will be stepping stones on your road to success you need their help so don't turn your superiors against your support
Number 11
Stay concentrated to find psychological power don't just identify your strengths develop them many people can do many things at an average level
But they're so busy jumping from skill to skill that they rarely specialize in anything specialties are one of the keys to success if you concentrate on one strength you can build a talent unlike anyone else's and in the same way if you want to develop psychological
Number 12
effortless
Achievement what do you say after finishing a huge project do you tell people how hard you worked or do you say it was no problem to gain psychological power play down your achievements and make each accomplishment seem easy and natural because people will believe you even if you invested countless hours into your work show the world someone confident and collected you should never forget how hard you worked but the world doesn't need to know
Number 13
When Asking for Help, Appeal to People’s Self-Interest
Never to Their Mercy or Gratitude
This law advises that, when you need assistance, you should focus on how helping you will benefit the other person, rather than appealing to their sense of goodwill.
People are more likely to help when they see a clear self-interest
or
a gain for themselves
as opposed to being motivated by sympathy or obligation
Number 14
There are two enemies in the world Anger and Ignorance
Self-control looks more powerful than anger
Set anger aside do you lose your temper anger is a destructive emotion on your road towards success anger makes you impulsive narrow-minded and selfish if someone makes you angry they know they've gotten the best of you
They know they've hit a nerve so they'll keep pushing instead of getting angry grow distance ambivalence is a far greater punishment than anger
when you ignore someone you steal their power force them to get your attention you make them do the work strong emotions will hurt your decision-making and help others take advantage of you
So, never give importance to someone who is not a deserving person.
Stay calm and stay objective whenever possible
Number 15
The calm rush time is a common source of psychological power the most powerful people are masters of timing and time management not only do they pack incredible amounts of work into their daily schedules they never let their busy days get the best of them at least not on the outside they always seem cool calm and collected they're never rushing or sweating they're always patient with their work and their goals because rushing is a recipe for disaster it creates anxiety and it hurts your reputation instead of letting time control you stay in control of your time your psychological power depends on it
Number 16
Calculated values
“Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”
that say the best things in life are free but if you want psychological power you'll need to spend money when it counts some things are worth paying for
even if it's just a name or a title
