Mercy and gratitude will kill you
instead, use this method that ALWAYS helps you in EVERY aspect.
Sometimes we refer to general values like love and gratitude.
We invoke principles when the simple realities of life would be more convincing.
Unfortunately, even the highest figures only listen to their selfish needs.
If we do not put other people’s interests forward, they won’t even look at us.
Welcome to the real world!
They will hardly care about the little annoyances that are, in their eyes, a waste of their time.
A man doesn’t have to be grateful; it’s often a terrible burden that he rids himself of.
That’s why I want to plant this seed inside your brain.
Once you’re dead, no one owes you anything.
Each person with whom we deal is like another civilization… A foreign land is endowed with a past of its own. Beyond the differences… its personal interests will always respond to the requests.
The ONLY way to get someone to take a particular action is to add value to their lives and make them feel stupid to say no.
The Japanese and the Dutch belong to different cultures.
Yet they have in common a universal preoccupation: their personal interests!
In this world, mercy rarely got me what I wanted; the other party forgot what I had done.
You’ll not only save time… but also make people dependent on you in a certain way.
In fact, it can also save your life!
For instance, the only reason Genghis Khan did not destroy China in the 12th century is because one of his close friends incited him to use it and profit from its resources and taxes.
Otherwise, he is a barbarian; he doesn’t care about mercy and gratitude.
So next time you’re in a situation, you need help from someone, make sure they gain something out of it.
