Unrevealing one of the most influential books “48 laws of power”
Power
An element which is dreamed by every ambitious man
Man argue that theirs mission is to earn money or gain fame
Money and Fame are the by product of power
Money and fame brings you power
That's one way to earn power but it requires a lot of time , blood and sweat to achieve
Well there is a better way to gain power but it requires
Right actions at the right time
You’re actions in the right time makes you powerful
Any powerful figure you know wasn’t rich neither popular (other than rulers)
There’s actions were at the right time
So why every person isn’t powerful
Well mastering the art of taking right decisions isn’t a piece of cake
It requires to be humble and learn from everyone’s mistakes and experience
But getting this knowledge can be challenging
Here comes Robert Greene’s most popular book “ 48 laws of power “
In this book Robert Greene puts in that knowledge (btw he himself is a powerful figure in the society)
This knowledge consist of past experiences and mistakes of influential individuals, deep manipulation techniques and the right time to take right actions.
48 laws of power is one of the very books that the upper individuals don’t want you to read as it will show you the path to earn power and be powerful .
But power comes with a price
Power instills a sense of pride in you
pride is the first sin Christianity talks about
pride destroys the willingness to learn and makes you delusional of your abilities
By just looking at the history , you can realize how pride has been the cause of fall for many influential people in the past
Other than pride , power makes you feel empty inside making you lose empathy and affection
Allowing the devil to take in
So is power bad ?
absolutely no
It’s the natural instinct of men to crave for power
Sad reality is that no one even 48 laws of power teaches you how to harness power the right way
that's when i come in the picture
Because i am starting a series where i will be decoding every 48 laws in a way which will help you to both exert power and be humble towards life
One of the most influential leaders Nelson Mandela despite being the head of the government he never allowed pride to control him and completely changed the trajectory of south Africa.
If we flip the coin there comes Adolf Hitler who let pride take control of him that caused his fall
that's all for this email guys , see you in the next one
peace
