let's be clear from the

start kindness by itself is not enough

to survive in this world if you think

being a good person is enough to achieve

success you're living in a fantasy and

the worst part is that you know it even

though you refuse to accept it how many

times have you felt like others are

walking all over you how many times have

you done the right thing and instead of

receiving recognition you've been

ignored or even worse used you've been

taught that being good is enough that

honesty and nobility are

rewarded but the reality is different

the world doesn't reward the good it

rewards those who know how to play their

cards well and this is where makavelli

comes in makavelli understood something

that most people ignore human nature is

selfish fickle and cruel when necessary

in the prince he made it clear that

virtue without cunning is a weakness

that goodness without strategy is a

trap and now tell me how many times have

you fallen into that trap

rap think about those you admire those

who have achieved great things do you

think they got there only with good

intentions no they got there because

they knew how to move in the shadows

when necessary because they understood

that morality is not an obstacle but a

tool knowing when to show it and when to

hide it is the difference between being

a player and being a pawn the problem is

not that you are good the problem is

that you don't know how to protect

yourself you believe that others are

playing by the same rules as you but

that's not the case the world is full of

predators disguised as friends of

opportunists who can spot naive from

miles away and you without realizing it

have been the perfect Target this is

where makavelli offers you an

alternative intelligent kindness it's

not about becoming a villain it's not

about about betraying your principles

it's about understanding that kindness

must be accompanied by a deep

understanding of reality it's about

learning to read people to foresee their

intentions to know when to trust and

when to keep your guard up makavelli

said that it is better to be feared than

loved if you cannot be

both and you what have you chosen surely

you've chosen to be loved to be accepted

to be seen as harmless but tell me what

have you gained from that not respect

not power what you've gained is that

others know they can use you without

consequences because kindness without

strength doesn't Inspire admiration it

inspires pity don't get confused I'm not

telling you to stop being good I'm

telling you to learn how to be good

without being

naive understand that the world doesn't

reward the just it rewards the shrewd

that true virtue is not submission but

the ability to balance ethics with

pragmatism makavelli taught that image

is everything it's not only about what

you are but also about what others

perceive you to be if you give the

impression of being weak they will treat

you as weak if you give the impression

of being strong they will treat you with

respect how many times have you allowed

others to disrespect you out of fear of

losing their approval how many times

have you stayed silent to avoid conflict

only to realize that this makes you lose

more than you gain it's not about being

cruel it's about being

strategic the key is knowing when to act

when to speak when to retreat and when

to

attack kindness is an advantage when

used correctly but if you let it go

unchecked it becomes your worst enemy

the mistake of many good people is

thinking that the world values purity of

heart it doesn't the world values power

security the ability to make tough

decisions kindness is only respected

when it's accompanied by Authority if

you don't have power your kindness is

irrelevant makavelli would tell you not

to be a lamb in a world of wolves not to

let your morality turn you into a

slave true virtue is not submission it's

intelligence it's not about passively

adapting but about shaping the

environment to your

favor think about it how much longer

will you let the world walk all over you

how much longer will you be a victim of

your own

naive I'm not telling you to stop being

good I'm telling you to start being good

in a way that benefits you learn to move

in the shadows when necessary know when

to smile and when to show your teeth

because the world isn't fair but you can

learn to play by its rules and still

remain true to yourself makavelli didn't

write the prince to teach you to be evil

he wrote it to teach you how to

survive and now tell me are you going to

keep living in the illusion that

kindness is enough or are you going to

start applying true

intelligence and here comes a concept

that very few understand the perception

of power it's not a enough to be strong

you have to appear strong it's not

enough to have intelligence you have to

project it because in this world reality

matters less than the perception others

have of you think about this how many

times have you seen an incompetent

person go farther than a talented

one how many times have you seen a

manipulator rise while a noble and

hardworking person remains

stuck this is no accident people don't

follow the good or the just they follow

the one who seems to be in control the

one who knows how to manage their image

the one who projects Authority the one

who even though they don't have all the

answers acts as if they do and this is

where many fail they believe that the

truth by itself is enough that true

competence will speak for them but the

world doesn't work that way the world

doesn't reward those who are right it

rewards those who know how to sell their

version of the

story makavelli understood this

perfectly it's not just about what you

are but about what others believe you to

be perception is

everything an insecure leader doesn't

Inspire confidence even if they're the

most

prepared a worker who doesn't know how

to make themselves noticed will never be

promoted even if they're the best

a man or woman who doesn't project value

will never be desired even if they have

a lot to

offer that's why the key is not just in

being but in mastering the narrative

about yourself learning to control your

image to create the right impression in

every

situation it's not about deceiving it's

about directing the attention of others

to what you want them to

see think about this

in any social interaction people don't

perceive reality as it is they perceive

it through filters of assumptions

prejudices and

emotions and the question is are you

letting those filters play against you

or are you using them to your advantage

if you're good but seem weak they will

treat you as weak if you're just but

seem soft they will trample on you if

you're talented but seem insecure you

will be

ignored it's that

simple the art of perception is what

separates those who control their

Destiny from those who are controlled by

others and here we enter a darker but

necessary area the control of

information have you ever wondered why

the most powerful always seem to know

something that others

don't why do those who dominate the game

always seem to have an advantage

the answer is simple because they know

when to speak and when to stay silent

naive people believe that absolute

honesty is a virtue that always saying

what they think and sharing everything

they know is the right thing to do but

in reality information is power and you

can't give away power without

consequences makavelli said that a

prince must know how to hide their true

intentions not because they should be a

liar but because in a world where

everyone seeks an advantage the one who

reveals too much becomes

vulnerable learn to control what you

share to say only what's necessary and

nothing

more to maintain a certain mystery to

make people wonder what you really think

because the moment you become completely

predictable the moment others can

anticipate every move you make you lose

any any strategic Advantage you might

have had the greatest players in history

in politics business art or any field

understood this strategic silence is as

powerful as

speech think of someone you admire

someone with real influence are they

someone who says everything who exposes

themselves completely or someone who

always leaves something in the shadows

who always has a hidden card

the problem with many is that they

confuse transparency with

weakness they believe that if they don't

reveal everything they are being

dishonest but it's not about lying it's

about controlling the flow of

information to your

advantage think about this how many

times have you spoken too much and it

has hurt you how many times have you

trusted the wrong person person

revealing something that later turned

against you how many times have you

given explanations that no one asked for

just to justify yourself to people who

didn't even deserve

it power is not in speaking more power

is in knowing when to speak and when to

stay silent and here comes the big

lesson that almost nobody applies the

one who speaks the least the one who

explains the least is the the one who

commands the most respect why because

silence creates uncertainty uncertainty

creates curiosity and curiosity gives

power if you always say what you think

without a filter people will lose

interest if you always explain your

actions people will assume you need to

justify yourself but when you only speak

when necessary when you choose your

words carefully when you leave room for

interpretation

people will start paying attention to

you for real and here comes another

fundamental concept the art of

unpredictability predictable people are

easy to manipulate if you always act the

same way if you're always predictable in

your responses emotions and decisions

others will be able to anticipate you

they will be able to use you but when

you're unpredictable when people are

never sure of what your next move will

be you become dangerous and when you're

dangerous they respect you makavelli

understood this better than anyone a

leader who can be read like an open book

is a weak leader but a leader who

maintains a certain level of mystery who

changes when necessary who never lets

others label them that is the leader who

stays in

power and now the question is do you

want to keep being an open book that

anyone can read manipulate and take

advantage of or do you want to start

being a strategist someone who controls

their image their information and their

unpredictability for their own benefit

because kindness without strategy is

just an invitation to be devoured the

world doesn't change its rules for you

so learn to play with the rules that

really exist not the ones you've been

made to believe believe and if you do it

well if you apply what really

works then for the first time you will

stop being a victim of the system and

start being one of the ones who dominate

it but here comes the most interesting

part the art of strategic

distance many believe that the key to

power is to always be present to be

omnipresent to make yourself noticed at

every moment but the reality is

different the one who is too available

loses their value scarcity creates

desire absence creates

impact think about this why do certain

people generate more respect just by

being present While others no matter how

hard they try never seem to impose

Authority the difference lies in the

perception of their value makavelli said

that a prince should avoid becoming too

accessible

not because they should disdain their

people but because excessive familiarity

destroys respect when you're always

there when you give without measure

people start taking your presence your

effort your generosity for granted and

this doesn't just apply to politics or

power it applies to relationships work

life itself when you give too much you

become disposable when you're always

available you become a resource not a

person of

value think about it how many times have

you given everything for someone just to

have them not appreciate it how many

times have you been there for everyone

only to be ignored when you need it it's

no accident it's human nature what is

abundant is despised what is scarce is

valued that's why you must learn to

regulate your presence to dose your

attention to manage the percep ion of

your

availability don't always respond

immediately don't always be within reach

of everyone make your absence noticed

make your presence we because when you

learn to disappear at the right moment

when you learn to regulate your energy

people will start looking for you the

problem is that most people fear

disappearing they fear that if they step

back they will be

forgotten but here's the brutal

truth if your only way of being

remembered is by always being there then

you were never truly

valuable those who really have an impact

are not the ones who shout the loudest

but those who know how to handle silence

who know when to withdraw and when to

reappear look at any great figure in

history the real players are not

everywhere they don't wear themselves

out in every battle they show up when it

really matters and when they do everyone

pays attention

and this brings us to another key Point

emotional control as a tool of power

here is where most people fail people

believe that control is based on

strength on aggressiveness on imposing

themselves with a loud voice and

clenched fists but true Mastery the one

makavelli understood better than anyone

is in the absolute control of

emotions because the one who loses

control the one who reacts impulsively

the one who is carried away by anger or

anxiety becomes predictable manipulable

and

weak think about the last time someone

made you lose your cool the moment you

got angry the moment you reacted without

thinking who had the power in that

situation it wasn't you it was the other

person the one who threw you off balance

the one who Prov voked your reaction

because the one who controls your

emotion controls your actions and here

is the key the one who can't be provoked

the one who maintains their Center no

matter what happens that is the one who

truly has power it doesn't matter if

it's in a discussion in a negotiation in

a relationship or in any social

interaction the one who maintains

emotional control always wins because

the one who who controls their emotions

controls the perception others have of

them makavelli made it clear a prudent

man must act at all times with coldness

and

calculation it's not about not feeling

it's about not being a slave to what you

feel it's not about being a reactive

animal that anyone can manipulate and if

you apply this correctly you become

impenetrable others may try to get under

your skin they may try to provoke you

but if they can't move your Center if

they can't predict how you'll react they

lose control over

you here's the truth those who really

dominate the game are not the strongest

they are the ones who remain calm while

everyone else loses their head and this

leads us to the final key point the

power of strategic

patience most people want immediate

results they want success now respect

now power now but what makavelli taught

what the great players in history have

applied time and time again is that true

power does not belong to those who act

impulsively but to those who know how to

wait for the perfect moment to move the

world is full of people who Rush who act

without thinking who make decisions

without considering the long-term

consequences but those who really contr

control the game know how to wait they

know how to observe they know how to

calculate think of a hunter they don't

shoot at the first movement they observe

measure the distance wait for their prey

to be in the exact position only when

the moment is right do they

strike this is the game of power it's

not always the one who moves first that

wins it's the one who moves at the right

moment makavelli said that for favors

those who know how to adapt to

circumstances it's not about running in

every direction it's about knowing when

to accelerate and when to slow down

mediocre people act on impulse

strategists wait for their

opportunity and now I ask you are you

one of those who rush in without

thinking or one of those who waits for

their moment to strike with surgical

Precision because in this world power

does not belong to the fastest it

belongs to the smartest to those who

know how to handle perception

information distance emotional control

and strategic patience and if you apply

all of this you will stop being a victim

of the game and start being a true

player the world will remain ruthless

but now you will know how to play by its

rules But Here Comes what truly makes

the difference between those who just

survive and those who dominate their

Destiny the ability to become an anomaly

in the

system because now you know now you

understand that kindness alone isn't

enough that perception is everything

that emotional control is a tool of

power that strategic patience beats

impulsiveness and that scarcity

increases your

value but what good is all of this if

you keep acting like everyone else has

until

now if you want different results you

must become someone who doesn't conform

to the traditional rules not in the

sense of breaking them without purpose

but in the sense of rewriting the script

the problem with most people is that

they think within the limits that have

been imposed on them they follow the

same patterns they react as expected

they move within what is acceptable or

expected

but those who truly leave a mark those

who change the game to their advantage

are the ones who dare to be

unpredictable to play with new rules to

do what no one

expected and here's the big secret the

world is designed to devour those who

conform if you do the same as the rest

you will get the same results as the

rest and that means mediocrity that

means being another forgotten name in

the endless flow of of time the only way

to win is to step out of the mold be the

one who acts differently the one who

doesn't react as others expect the one

who always has a hidden card the one who

is never completely understood or

anticipated be the one who when they

speak people listen because their word

is not

cheap when you learn this something

changes within you you realize that you

were never weak

you were simply not playing with the

right strategy you realize that people

haven't been ignoring you because you're

not worth it but because you never knew

how to project your

value but now you know and knowing this

is dangerous because the moment you

apply it there's no turning back the

moment you start controlling your

presence your image managing information

as a tool using silence as a weapon you

will start noticing how the world reacts

differently to you the people who used

to ignore you will start paying

attention to

you those who used to underestimate you

will begin to wonder what changed in

you those who used to manipulate you

will begin to fear making a move against

you because you are no longer the

same now you are someone who understands

how the game board works works and here

comes the most important decision are

you going to apply this or are you going

to return to

ignorance because what separates those

who Thrive from those who fall behind is

not knowledge it's action you can stay

here with this information floating in

your head as an interesting but harmless

idea or you can start implementing it

the choice is yours but I warn you of

something if you go backward if you keep

acting as you did before you will do so

with the awareness that you're choosing

to be invisible you're choosing to

remain

ignored or you can start changing now

small movements small trials apply some

mystery in your interactions control

your urge to speak too much respond

calmly instead of reacting emotionally

retreat at the right moment observe

silently instead of rushing without

strategy small actions that over time

change the perception others have of you

small actions that when you least expect

it will have transformed you into

someone who can no longer be ignored

because the world doesn't remember those

who just existed it remembers those who

knew how to play the game and now tell

me are you ready to play it if you've

made it this far I want to know who

really understood the message leave

leave the phrase power is in the silence

in the comments and let's see how many

of you have understood what it truly

means to move with strategy and if this

video made you question something if it

made you see things from a different

angle subscribe because this is just the

beginning see you in the next video and

remember don't be another player in the

system be the one who writes the rules
