Summarizing success books

Since we're busy people, and since success books usually take fifty pages before they get to their lesson, let's summarize success books in one sentence.

I'll start.

>save a penny a day and in roughly ten years you'll have $36.50

I like the thread idea desu familia

Hmm I can't think of the best way to break this to one sentence cause Its really 7 ideas but I can compress it to 5

> Read, Read, research, the more you know the more interesting topics you will have to discuss, knowing what a potential contacts interests are before hand is a boon.

>Don't criticise, if you like something, tell the person.

>Smile more

>Never argue

Can't do one sentence, but I like this thread's basic premise

>Make a habit of constantly improving on your skills - don't get rusty

>Focus only on important shit and stuff you can do right now

>Stop looking at the world in terms of others as being your competitors or taking resources away from you, instead look at all transactions as mutually beneficial

>Believe you have control.

>Have clearly defined goals. And keep working towards them

>Shits fucked. You can plan and research all you want but when you come to the battle communication and keeping a clear head becomes difficult and you have to adapt to changing and new situations constantly.

>People who aren't your friends but whom you have regular contact with like (people in your office, a barber, a school bully, a clerk at the local council) have a incredible effect on your life and understanding how they affect you can open the door to many synergies and opportunities professional and personal

Apparently this book is all wrong, the original researches said something like

>If you have 10000 hours of practice at something and you still aren't an expert, you will NEVER be you can become an expert in only 1,000 but if you pass 10,000 without getting there then forget it.

CONCERNING THE QUESTION OF THE STRATEGY AND TACTICS OF THE RUSSIAN COMMUNISTS. J. STALIN

>Don't take the government head on, bide your time with propaganda and slogans (propaganda, agitation, directive )building up support and instigating unrest then when there is utter chaos or a crises strike the biggest target or obstacle first clearing the way for you to take power
>In military conflict always stay true to the strategy despite whatever loses or setbacks you will have overall the strategy will come to redeem itself

>People don't like to be made out to be liars or when they are given something, even tokenistic, feel indebted.
>People want to fit in but if you want them to do something don't phrase it as a request or demand "many people choose to" as opposed to "we'd like it if you..."
>Speak like you know what your talking about, with confidence, slightly rapid, but not so rapid as to seem like a snakeoil salesman
>Mirror someone, people like people like themselves, duh.

Oh, and lay of the facelifts.

Bump.
