48 Days of The 48 Laws of Power - 1st Law

I first read the 48 Laws of Power, by Robert Greene about 8 years ago and it was quite possibly the most powerful book (besides the Bible and the Qur'an) I have ever read.

Robert Greene lays out the book in The Art of War fashion. He uses stories from a time that once was as a examples for his 48 Laws. This book has been infamous for being read and studied by CEO's, Executive Managers, Politicians and Royal Families alike.

I am currently on my second read of the book! I also heard in an interview with the ever hustlin' rapper/entrepreneur 50 Cent that he is currently working with the Author to make the new book: The 50th Law! An addendum to the original book. Look out for that. I will be reading that one too.


For the next 48 days, I will be sharing some information from each law with my friends and followers. So stay tuned. Here's the first Law:

Law 1: NEVER OUTSHINE THE MASTER!
Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite - inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.
