LAW 28

ENTER ACTION WITH BOLDNESS

First off, let me say, I hate a liar. If you will lie, you'll steal. And if you will steal you'll kill. There are two reasons to lie in this world. Save your ass and or protect someone you love. Other than that, I would rather a person tell me the truth until it hurts, but at least it is what it is. And now the decision is up to me what I want to do. It's like, fuck it, get mad and get over it or get mad and don't get over it. The truth is the truth. Like they say, no matter how many ways you as a person the question, if they are telling the truth, the answer will always be the same. Now having said that, lets bring lying, boldness and audacity into the power game.

Boldness and Hesitation. If you hesitate you will be putting obstacles in your path. Boldness eliminates them. If you are timid, after a while, you will not be, you will begin to become audacious.

The Bolder the Lie the Better. Boldness sometimes hid deficiencies. When a lie is bold sometimes it is more convincing. It's the audacity of it, that makes it believable. In the con game you must go further than you planned, because many a times "if you ask for the moon you will be surprised how often you get it."

Lions Circle the Hesitant Prey. People can sense weakness. At times there will be times you demonstrate compromise, you will back down, you will retreat if a person is not on the defense early on. If they are you will need to bring the lion out earlier. You will need to push without, without, I say again, without mercy.

Boldness Strikes Fear; Fear Creates Authority. Bold moves make you seem larger and more powerful than you are. If it comes blind sightingly to your opponent, with the swiftness of a snake, it will inspire that much more fear. Intimidating with a bold move will establish a precedent; in every subsequent encounter people will be on the defensive or in terror. This reminds me of someone who just came home from "college" or "vacation" or back in the day terms "jail". He said there are two ways to rule, with money or with violence." If you rule with money everyone wants to be around you, so they can get some. When the monies gone, they're gone. If you rule with violence, no one wants any problems, so you will get left alone.

Going halfway with a Half a Heart Digs the Deeper Grave. If you don't get your mind right, you can't get your heart up to physically do what needs to be done. Lack of confidence, can cost you, because when there is a problem, you might become confused, seeing problems where there are none and inadvertingly causing a problem for yourself.

Hesitation Creates Gaps, Boldness Obliterates Them. When you create time for yourself to think, you've created time for others to think. "Swiftness of amove and the energy of an act leaves others no space to doubt and worry." In the power game, hesitation is fatal. There will be many times that you must leave no time for reflection.

Audacity Separates You from the Herd. Boldness keep others always wondering your next move. It keeps all eyes on you. But remember, you do not always want all eyes on you. Balance yourself.

The larger the scale of deceit the more plausible at times the act. Don't back down when questioned, to keep validation of act.

In this world, within whatever society and culture, you will find people that "despise you, fear your ambition and jealousy and would love to shrink your realm of power." You must establish your authority and gain respect. In beginning, you will need to lay low. You will need to hide your ambitions.

When you are setting a mark to climb, you must insure that they are a Goliath, either by size or project. It will gain you the admiration and you will stand out to the crowds. People nowadays are full of thoughts, but lack the balls to materialize them. When you become someone's shared voice of feelings you gain followers. Many are timid and want to avoid tension and conflict because they are terrified of the consequences, of what others might think and do, or hostilities that get stirred up.

In the game of power one must create an illusion and keep it alive. The more you practice the easier it becomes. Being bold is an "acquired habit". However, do not let boldness be your forever strategy behind all of your actions. Use boldness as a tactical instrument, to be used at the right moment. Plan and think ahead and let your final move be a bold move that brings you success. If you use boldness as a continual tactical maneuver you will offend too many people and you will not be able to control them. Do not allow when the power of boldness brings you success to influence you into thinking that it is the way, because there will be times that boldness is not appropriate.
