How to manipulate and succeed (Part 1).

If you’re a smart person who has ever been interested in manipulating people, then you’ve inevitably thought of the ethics behind coercion tactics. Quite likely, people will say that persuasion is manipulative, especially covert persuasion tactics (the ones that are useful).

I’ll tell you a secret… Persuasion is MANIPULATIVE (and it is ADDICTIVE)! Having influence means having the ability to control people’s actions. Persuasion tactics are not only good, they are a INEVITABLE! Keep reading; give me a chance to explain myself. Since the second we are born, each one among us has been guided, influenced, and moulded one way or the other. When you think about it, you’ll realize that you are in a permanent state of hypnosis, open to learning whatever you are taught. Generally, your “programming” comes from the very acceptable sources like lessons from your parents, your family members, and society at large. (...) click here to Read On.

What to do when attacked by a male model.

I was recently invited to the Australian fashion week. And I thought, “Hmm… Might be a good place to meet some hot supermodels… and sleep with some of them.” I psyched myself up before I went and I promised myself that I would approach as many hot girls as possible to fill the quota. But what could have been a great trip turned into a too gay to believe fight to the death with a male model and an unbelievably good sex session (not with the same person!).

This is how it happened (...) click here to Read On.

Things to do when FBI is recording your calls.

For comic relief satire from the “Dreader”.

Your hedge fund has been returning steady results, even during periods of high volatility, you’re able to maintain a steady rate of return and your AUM (asset under management) is growing exponentially… everyone suspects ‘it’ but nobody mentions ‘it’… Out of the blue you get a call from your lawyer, he tells you not to worry but that there is an “informal investigation” in to your company and that the FBI is leading the investigation along with the SEC. Considering everything this is a good thing, because at least now you know for certain your calls (and emails) are being monitored (see it wasn’t just paranoia)! (...) click here to Read On.

Guns you need on your yacht!

You’re cruising along at comfortable speed on your brand new Yacht, you have your whole family with you. Everyone is enjoying the wonderful climate, the sun is shining just bright enough to create the perfect temperature, and you think it is all good. Suddenly you realize there are a couple of light skiffs approaching with menacing individuals on-board. They are watching you closely, you look back at them through your binoculars and they seem to be armed with AK-47′s.

This is not a good situation to be in. As you can imagine, getting kidnapped by a bunch of pirates is not going to be a pleasant experience. How would it sound? You telling people the story about that time you got hijacked by weak arse pirates… Bloody shameful, mate! Generally speaking when you’re out at sea you should always be thinking about protecting people on board. (...) click here to Read On.

Cars to buy if you just made your billion.

online biz journal nouveau riche Cars to buy if you just made your billion.
So you’ve made your first billion… You’re itching to buy the car you’ve been dreaming about, huh? Wait! One of the first things new members to the Nouveau riche club do is buy obnoxious-expensive cars; ones they’ve seen the moneyed ride around in. It is their way of convincing the world (and themselves) that they have arrived. The unfortunate fact is due to their haste and lack of judgement, they end up buying the most gauche automobiles on the market. Instead of doing a bit of research and selecting the right car they end up looking like newly moneyed morons (think Nick Cannon in a suit). (...) click here to Read On.

Over the course of my life I’ve discovered a few ways to go about acquiring power, I’ve condensed them down to 3 simple principles (...) click here to Read On.

Manipulate your way to Success.

Do you enjoy having power over those around you? Do you like getting your way, always? Then this is going to help you more than you can imagine… read this thing if it is the last thing you do! There are these cool ‘short cuts’ in peoples minds that you can use to get them to do anything you want them to do. You could seemingly control them, and make them do your bidding. One of the tools I use to make my life easier is called cognitive dissonance, it is a wonderful software glitch in peoples heads (...) click here to Read On.

Flashbacks of a Gambler.

When I was growing up there were these people that affected me. Seeing them live their lives impacted me and it had a major part in my growing up. My Parents were major players in this. They are teachers, hard working honest people who wanted me to follow in their foot steps. They never wanted me to do what I do now. They wanted me to dedicate my life to scholarly pursuits.

Why the new generation is doomed.

Simulated Stimulation, destroyer of the new generation: Observe the people of today you will see that he (or she) lives quite a sheltered life, one that lacks “reality” almost like a zombie. Man was created so that he would take chances, so that he would go out work hard and play harder rather than live life like a toy doll still in its wrapper. Man craves reality – excitement, drama, risk, fear, love, lust, power, pain, force. These are the very things that enabled him to become what he is to do, evolution was caused by early mans thirst for stimulation, all our modern inventions are because we wanted more from life! Our greed enabled (...) click here to Read On.

Absence of eccentrics a cause for worry?

A pre requisite for greatness till the 90′s was eccentricity; you had to be an eccentric to be considered a genius. Where have all the eccentrics gone? Living in an over medicated, under creative society, breeding and raising generations of implementers and killing off the innovators. Leading the rat race, chasing financial security over creative or artistic freedom, living a life created for you by someone else, coasting through existence, giving up basic human freedoms for temporal safety. What is this? Why did we do this?

Wanna excel? Cut out your emotions.

Always stay in the center, keep emotions away from your decisions: There are two major emotions we go through each day. They are – happiness and sadness. When we are not presented with either of these emotions and are left in a cold neutral place. We can’t stand this, we just can’t be, because this dreadful place scares us. Thus most people thrust themselves in to sadness (worry, anger, or fear) and then try to cure it by doing something that provides temporary release from this misery tailored by them for them.
