You can use it to intimidate and win.
But it can also kill you and the opportunities that present themselves to you.
Being unpopular and going against what's popular might seem cool, but it can harm you too.
Any triumph you gain through argument doesn't have much value, won't last long and is a waste of time.
The more you think about this, you realize how true it is.
Focuso on your actions.
Emotions can be as infectious as a pandemic.
Avoid people who portray themselves as victims. You won't be able to cure them, so don't sink trying to save them.
Surround yourself with happy and ambitious people.
Think through every possibility that could prevent you from reaching your end goal.
Surprises can be harmful, and they can even kill your dreams. Ensure you have planned so no negative outcome can catch by surprise badly.
When consistently going against the public, you make them feel inferior. Learn to hide your true feelings and opinions to guard your reputation.
Of course, think as you like - but behave like others in public.
Don't show your weaknesses, but don't display yourself as being too perfect either.
This prevents envy from developing, and you make yourself appear approachable.
Learn to display harmlessness, and your enemies will show you their weaknesses.
Conserve your energies by focusing them all on a single source of power.
Your energy is limited, and spreading it across different sources of power won't get the most results.
Find a singular source of power, and focus on it.
Do not accept the role that society has given you.
Create your own character, demand attention.
Master controlling your own image, instead of letting others control you. But remember that overreacting is counterproductive.
Control your emotions.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.
Always. No, your company is not an exception.
A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.
Listen to Aditya
And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.
I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.
You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.
Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

"we don't negotiate salaries" really means "we'd prefer to negotiate massive signing bonuses and equity grants, but we'll negotiate salary if you REALLY insist" https://t.co/80k7nWAMoK
