48 laws of power

Nimeona mtu ametaja hio kitabu…i find it tedious…

This is what Green himself had to say : “Everyone assumes I practise all of my own laws but I don’t. I think anybody who did would be a horrible ugly person to be around,”

does it really help?

have you used these rules in real life situations?

Am the one who quoted… YES I have used them, na hiyo ndio ime fanya nifike mahali niko…usishangae mimi ni CS , PS ama Ambassador :D:D:D:D

My favourite law is number 42: Strike the Shepherd and the Sheep Will Scatter. It has been used over and over again before our eyes. You must have used one of the laws in your lifetime sometimes without even knowing it.

so umecram 48 laws zote:D:D

adaptable and on the move.
Accept the fact that nothing is certain
and no law is fixed! The best way to
protect yourself is to be as fluid and
formless as water. Never bet on
stability or lasting order. Everything
changes!

The first time I read the book I realized that my character was defined by some of the rules. I despise free lunch, I don’t like peasants, play to people’s fantasies. Hayo two. Basically you’re just being smart than the next guy and carrying your self like true boss.
