The following Ten Commandments are followed by those street smarts who always remain successful in their lives. Do you want to follow them to succeed?

Make less talk to impress people

Silence is golden. Successful people say less to impress people and intimidate them. The more you say you are sure to say something foolish and make you appear a clown. When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you talk the more common you appear and naturally, the less in control. Even if you are forced to say something you do not know, make it very vague and open ended. It will appear scholarly and original. You will command a standing ovation.

Make people to guess your next move

Do not share what your plans are. Keep people off their balance thereby make them remain in the dark always. They cannot prepare a defense as they have no clue as to what you are up to. Lead them far enough down the wrong path, encase them in adequate smoke and by the time they realize where they are, it will be rather too late.

Make best use of people around you

To further your cause, make best use of the wisdom, knowledge and hard work of other around you and corner all glory. Such assistance will save you valuable time and every. It will also provide you with a godlike aura of efficiency and speed. In the end, your helpers will be forgotten and you will be garlanded and remembered. The golden saying is never do anything yourself what others can do for you.

Make people throng to you

It is always better to make people abandon their plans and come to you. When others drop their hats and look for your command, you are the one in control. Lure them with promise of fabulous gains and gifts. But never part with gains and gifts once the goal is achieved. You may attack them if you want to. You hold the cards.

Make your presence felt always

Your appearance counts as everything is judged by it. When you are not seen, you count for nothing. Never let yourself get lost the crowd or buried in oblivion. Stand tall and out. Be conspicuous and make your presence by appearing larger, colorful and mysterious in the crowd.

Make your reputation unassailable

Reputation is a prized and highly vulnerable asset. Guard it with your life. If you have no reputation, you have no business. Make your reputation unassailable. Remain ever vigilant to potential attacks and thwart them before they happen. Simultaneously look for loop holes in the reputation of your enemies and exploit them. Then stand aside and let public opinion hang them.

Make friendship with happy and fortunate

You can die from someone else’s disease. And misery too as such emotional states are as infectious as diseases. You may feel like helping someone caught in the quicksand, but you are precipitating your own disaster. Avoid such unhappy and unlucky and court always happy and fortunate.

Make actions not arguments your strategy

Win through your actions, never through argument. Any victory in an argument is only momentary and the resentment it throws up in the process stir up stronger and long lasting ill will. It is very easy and powerful to make others agree with you through your actions without saying a word. Demonstration is easier than explication. Actions speak better than words.

Make your boss appear more brilliant than s/he actually is

Always make your boss feel comfortable and superior. Do not go too far in displaying your talents if you desire to please and impress your boss. Otherwise you will end up accomplishing just the opposite by inspiring fear and insecurity in your boss. Make your boss appear more brilliant than they actually are and you are sure to attain the heights of power soon.

Make use of your enemies and be wary of your friends

If you have a former enemy, make use of him and employ him as he will make efforts to prove that he is loyal to you and his future depends on that. Be aware of your friends. They may betray you at the drop of a hat for they envy you and your success. Are you aware of the old saying? Familiarity breeds in contempt and this applies to your friends very well. Well. If you have no enemies, please make one.
