I have been wanting to contribute to the forum something of value, so i have decided to start a "column" of you will. These are things i have learned in life, although the saying age comes with wisdom, i still feel i have some to share.
Weakness. Everybody has one, and one of the most important things to do is to hide yours. If you are to show your weakness then your enemies will have an advantage. It is best to always have the advantage. It isn't only your enemies that can use your weakness. But your friends, strangers, and family can utilize them as well.
First i feel it is important to let you know what you do to show weakness.
1) fear:
If you show fear to somebody then you basically painted a target on your weakspot and gave the enemy a gun. Showing fear will quickly result in you getting eaten alive as it is all too easy to keep opening up that gap and taking a shot at it.
2) getting angry:
If you lose your cool during a social interaction, you just opened up a hole on yourself. This isn't to say,"never get angry." But rather that you need to gauge if it is in your best interests to do so.
3) getting emotional:
This is important, don't get emotional no matter what the situation may be. The enemies are people who are not in your side. So if you cover your emotion nobody will know what side you are in to begin with.
4) secrets:
This can be from your drug addiction, hooker indulging, fetishes, friends, or anything you do not want made public. If you have something that you don't want others to know about, either keep it very well hidden, or don't have it at all.
I suppose it would be wise for me to explain how to cover your weaknesses.
1) never show emotion in front of the enemy:
Pretty straightforward, keep yourself to , yourself and let them keep on guessing.
2) the "1 2 10 rule":
For every word you speak, let the enemy say ten. Knowledge is power and the , more they spill, the better ammo you have. The less you speak the better.
3) avoid confusion
Don't ever appear confused, looking confused makes you look unintelligent. And that is weak. Play a bluff and lead conversation so you can appear smarter than you are. Always appear to be the most intellectual in a group.
4) plan ahead:
If you are getting into something that you are not fully knowledgeable about, plan ahead. learn what can go wrong so you don't get caught off guard.
5) be stable
Be consistent, be strong. If you say you are going to do singing do it. If your word is spit, you will get walked all over on. Build a reputation for doing what you say.
That's all i have in regards to this current topic, i still continue to post in this style for a while.
