Me too. Although I always maintain a good public reputation, I've never hesitated to speak my mind and voice my opinions freely because I'm quite fearless that way. Being authentic and honest doesn't help either in that regard but at least you have major respect for yourself and so do others whether they like it or not because most people don't have the luxury to speak their mind freely or doing what's right. They much rather just follow the crowd and accept everything, even though they know it's wrong, as long as they get theirs. In either case, I've published a lot of articles with often sensitive subjects and not cared one bit what other people thought about it. And yes, people think "you're weird" and an outsider, but in reality, they are just terrified about what other people think and would not dare making such bold moves themselves. To me, that is no way to live no matter what. I've been there in the past, and being a slave to other people's minds just makes you a walking, boring zombie. To be a Mastermind, to express your thoughts and views, to be authentic, and to stand up for what you know is right is a much better way to live imo. When it's all said and done, it is your CHARACTER that means everything, not how much power, money, or influence you have. If you lose your character and integrity, it does not matter what you say or do, you have lost your ways and there's no turning back. So take this law with a grain of salt because, at the end of the day, nobody really cares anyway unless it is in their self-interest. For example, there's a clear difference between someone who speaks their mind and who is in a position of power than someone who is not. The first guy can often get away with it, the second guy not so much.

i have just realized i have failed to follow this Law, i alwas turn group conversation into me against the world by simple expressing my idea , i always knew something is wrong but did not know a rule to follow.

@@True38 this was a lot, I couldn't have found all the words to say exactly that 👏

Also in unison with Don't offend the wrong person

This is easier said then done haha but so true. Stay Focused!

It's to not create un needed enemies. But I agree this law is hard to follow.

It’s not about u is what I think 🤔💭

I won't prioritize the insecurity or jealousy of others over myself.

It all depends on how you interpret this law.

This law goes hand in hand with the law of timing.

David Craig you can be authentic and strong-minded (around the right people), but if your unique thoughts show themselves with an air of pretentiousness, you have failed yourself.

Agreed!

Most people don't really understand this law, it's not about being authentic and strong minded. It's about Power if you are not striving for power then do what you want because there is only a few people that can attain power in a culture, organization or Religion without pretty much making people think you believe what they believe. For example Donald Trump literally took over the Republican party by pretending to be like them, they are many more examples. If you authentic and strong minded great but that doesn't necessarily lead to Power🤷🏿‍♂️

@@damionwalker7523 well put 👏

Speak your mind only to those who truly understand you. Never speak your mind to common folks or you'll suffer.

+Neneham1966 thank you man. I hope I don't. Really want to create more.

I'm a girl Alexander.....lol. No worries, it's sometimes hard to tell behind a computer. Please, please, please do videos for The Art of Seduction.

You're so good at it. You really shouldnt stop. The world needs your knowledge and perspective.

Always keep in mind, nobody likes the truth. People prefer living in happy-land. Law 3 states: "If you yearn for power, quickly lay honesty aside".

@@True38 I wouldn’t say “nobody likes the truth” but I do agree that most don’t.

I absolutely agree...Ive been told im brutually honest...Seems like people want to hear lies these days...

@@sigmasiren777 You are so right...Seems like lying is prefered these days...

I appreciate that Ben that means a lot. I know these longer videos may not be watched by the many who won't make the time to study like this but it's great to hear that feedback. Wonder what you'll think of Law 48...

ben normatov I agree

Out of curiosity, why?

Phenomenal is high praise Stephen. Thank you so much. I look forward to you seeing my future work.

All the way from Columbia I'm honoured. I will visit your beautiful country one day. Thank you Steven appreciate you. Curious how did you find out about me?

@@AlexanderEmmanual in colombia too i used to live n the states so all my youtube feed is ftom over there thats how i found it

Old Dirty Bastard did it better

@@notoriousb.i.z.5342 how?

How?

I don't have the book.

Trust a I agree, I asked the name thing.

Get it

Just be good looking.

Thank you

My man Louis!

You sound like your mostly managing it well. The stereotypes around 'veganism' have never been worse. Associating yourself with such a group brings so much emotion and ignorance among many I wouldn't even blame people like yourself if they lied to save face.

Is that why you look malnourished?

Thanks D.

I was reading...but I hadn't read the 48 laws yet before I lived in America in 2014/2015.

Always outshine the haters. Why wouldn't you?

That's actually very clever. It all comes down to self-interest anyway whether you blend in or not. People will flock to you if you have all the resources no matter what your appearance is, and they will flee you as soon as you hit the bottom. That's the thing called life. We depend on others for survival and survival only.
