2. Influence Over Argument

Stop trying to win arguments. You might get a temporary ego boost, but the resentment you create will last far longer. Influence through action, not words.

3. The Generosity Weapon

Generosity can be a powerful tool. A well-timed gift, even from a rival, can disarm suspicion and create an opening. Think of it as an investment in future manipulation.

4. Appeal to Self-Interest

Need a favor? Always appeal to self-interest, never pity. People are far more motivated by what they stand to gain than by your past good deeds.

5. Stay Vigilant

Your enemies are watching. Assume everyone is a potential spy. Ask indirect questions in casual conversations to gather intel on their intentions and weaknesses.
