Power isn't just about what you do. It's about what you understand about human nature.
Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions.

3 of my favourite laws from The 48 Laws of Power:
- Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions
- Law 13: Appeal to People's Self-Interest

What I like about these three is that they all come down to one thing: understanding human nature.
"Enter action with boldness."
Don't wait for perfect conditions.
