“No one likes feeling stupider than the next person. The
trick, then, is to make your victims feel smartand not
just smart, but smarter than you are. Once convinced of
this, they will never suspect that you may have ulterior
motives.”

By saying less you create the appearance of meaning and power.

“Any man who tries to be good all the time is bound to come to ruin among the great number who are not good. Hence a prince who wants to keep his authority must learn how not to be good, and use that knowledge, or refrain from using it as necessity requires”

💭 Is it up to you?
- One should have the ability to distinguish between the impossible to the unlikely. Even if the chances are slim for the improbable, one must fight till the end.
- “That someone decided not to fund your company, this isn’t up to you. But the decision to refine and improve your pitch? That is.”

💭 Live in the present moment
- “Half the companies in the Fortune 500 were started during a bear market or recession. Half.”
- “The point is that most people start from disadvantage (often with no idea they are doing so) and do just fine. It’s not unfair; it’s universal. Those who survive it survive because they took things day by day—that’s the real secret.

🎯Focus on the moment, not the monsters that may or may not be up ahead.”
