ATT003 - The 48 Laws of Power: Law #3 Conceal Your Intentions
Law #3 -Conceal Your Intentions
I think this is a verrrry hard one for me. Apparently, there is value to not being an open book. I never really thought about the fact that it is not a trait that people admire. On the contrary, I kind of have prided myself about being one to NOT play games so this is totallly new way of thinking.
I have known people that automatically “hold their cards close to their chest” and honestly it has been annoying to me. I like open books and I don’t like people I can’t read. So this new approach to things is really mindblowing.
These are some tough pills to swallow! This is law #3 of the 48 laws! The book touts this is the bestselling book for those you want power, watch power or want to arm themselves against power.

THE FULL JUDGMENT: Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense. Guide them far enough down the wrong paths, envelop them in enough smoke, and by the time they realize your intentions, it will be too late.
