Preach the Need for Change, but Never Reform too much at Once

Everyone understands the need for change in the abstract, but on the day-to-day level people are creatures of habit. 
Too much innovation is traumatic, and will lead to revolt. 
If you are new to a position of power, or an outsider trying to build a power base, make a show of respecting the old way of doing things. 
If change is necessary, make it feel like a gentle improvement on the past.

Disarm and Infuriate with the Mirror Effect

The mirror reflects reality, but it is also the perfect tool for deception: When you mirror your enemies, doing exactly as they do, they cannot figure out your strategy. 
The Mirror Effect mocks and humiliates them, making them overreact. 
By holding up a mirror to their psyches, you seduce them with the illusion that you share their values; by holding up a mirror to their actions, you teach them a lesson.  Few can resist the power of Mirror Effect.

Disdain Things you cannot have: Ignoring them is the best Revenge

By acknowledging a petty problem you give it existence and credibility. 

The more attention you pay an enemy, the stronger you make him; and a small mistake is often made worse and more visible when you try to fix it. 

It is sometimes best to leave things alone. 

If there is something you want but cannot have, show contempt for it.  The less interest you reveal, the more superior you seem.

Never appear too Perfect


Appearing better than others is always dangerous, but most dangerous of all is to appear to have no faults or weaknesses. 
Envy creates silent enemies. 
It is smart to occasionally display defects, and admit to harmless vices, in order to deflect envy and appear more human and approachable. 
Only gods and the dead can seem perfect with impunity.
