laws of power continues 43-48

From 48 Laws of Power by Robert Green book.
43. Work on the Hearts and Minds of Others
Coercion creates a reaction that will eventually work against you. You must SEDUCE others into wanting to move in your direction.

A person you have seduced becomes your LOYAL PAWN. And the way to seduce others is to operate on their individual PSYCHOLOGIES and WEAKNESSES.

Soften up the resistant by working on their emotions, playing on what they hold dear and what they fear. Ignore the hearts and minds of others and they will grow to hate you.
44.Disarm and Infuriate with the Mirror Effect
The mirror reflects reality, but it is also the perfect tool for deception: When you mirror your enemies, doing exactly as they do, they cannot figure out your strategy.

The Mirror Effect mocks and humiliates them, making them overreact.

By holding up a mirror to their psyches, you seduce them with the illusion that you share their values; by holding up a mirror to their actions, you teach them a lesson.

Few can resist the power of Mirror Effect.

45.Preach the Need for Change, but Never Reform too much at Once
Everyone understands the need for change in the abstract, but on the day-to-day level people are creatures of habit.

Too much innovation is traumatic, and will lead to revolt.

If you are new to a position of power, or an outsider trying to build a power base, make a show of respecting the old way of doing things.

If change is necessary, make it feel like a gentle improvement on the past.
46.Never appear TOO PERFECT
Appearing better than others is always dangerous, but most dangerous of all is to appear to have no faults or weaknesses.

Envy creates silent enemies.

It is smart to occasionally display defects, and admit to harmless vices, in order to deflect envy and appear more human and approachable.

Only gods and the dead can seem perfect with impunity.

47.Do not go Past the Mark you Aimed for; In Victory, Learn when to Stop
The moment of victory is often the moment of greatest peril.

In the heat of victory, arrogance and overconfidence can push you past the goal you had aimed for, and by going too far, you make more enemies than you defeat.

Do not allow success to go to your head. There is no substitute for strategy and careful planning.

Set a goal, and when you reach it, stop.
48.Assume Formlessness
By taking a shape, by having a visible plan, you open yourself to attack.

Instead of taking a form for your enemy to grasp, keep yourself 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 END OF THE 48 LAWS OF POWER
PS: Change is inevitable, you can change with the times or perish along the way. If anyone ask you, don't you
have any values or any morals?

Oh YEAH you do have values and moral, the same values and morals that they have WHEN YOU ARE WITH THEM. Do not let them teach you how to pray with your eyes close either.

Have the same consideration for them that they have shown you or your country.Get out and get what you want and need. Make your own rules.

Better yet start your own business.

Your quality of life will be better regardless of how much money that you make.
