•Law 1: Never Outshine the MasterAlways make those above you feel superior. If you outshine them or make them feel insecure, you risk their disapproval or sabotage. Instead, flatter their ego and subtly display your talents in a non-threatening way.
•Law 3: Conceal Your IntentionsKeep people guessing about your next move. By being unpredictable and opaque about your plans, you maintain an element of surprise and control, making it harder for others to undermine or counter your strategies.
•Law 15: Crush Your Enemy TotallyWhen you defeat an opponent, ensure they are fully neutralized. Leaving remnants of their power intact gives them the opportunity to recover and retaliate. Total victory ensures long-term security.
