People have a desire to control others and bring them under their influence, and the less power they have over them, the more depressed and unhappy they become.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">But gaining power only leads to seeking more of it. As a human being, then, you should strive to influence <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">others. This is not about coercion or subjugation in the literal sense of those words; rather, the power he describes <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">Robert Greene says it leads people to willingly submit to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">So, *The 48 Laws of Power* tries to show you how you can become powerful and gain authority over others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">Read also:<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibtdi.com\/en\/10-%d8%b9%d8%a7%d8%af%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d9%82%d9%88%d9%8a%d8%a9-%d8%aa%d8%ac%d8%b9%d9%84%d9%83-%d9%85%d9%84%d9%8a%d9%88%d9%86%d9%8a%d8%b1%d8%a7%d9%8b\/\">10 Powerful Habits That Can Make You a Millionaire<\/a><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 28px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">The Intelligence of Trust and the Value of Enmity<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">The goal of *The 48 Laws of Power* is to help you achieve your own goals and desires. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">through a form of power over others that is symbolic and subtle. But striving to be influential and effective does not mean being violent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">And confrontationally, the opposite is always what\u2019s called for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">In *The 48 Laws of Power*, Robert Greene strongly advises you never to outshine your superiors or make them feel weak or helpless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\"> There\u2019s no doubt that every one of us has a set of flaws, but despite that, no one likes to have them pointed out. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">\u0623\u062d\u062f \u063a\u064a\u0631\u0647.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">If you make your managers or leaders feel weak or inferior to you, you\u2019ll provoke their resentment and turn them against you\u2014and perhaps <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">drive them to crush you. Be smart, and fight only when you\u2019re sure you\u2019ll win. Also remember:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">\u201cThe moment of victory is often the moment of greatest danger.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">But you need enemies, too; their presence matters.

You may trust someone, only for them to betray you <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">later. With an enemy, by contrast, you\u2019ll stay alert to them at all times, and so you\u2019ll be safe from them. A stab in the back always hurts more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">And, of course, wisdom means keeping your goals secret and not telling anyone.
