Always say less than necessary from "summary" of As 48 leis do poder by Robert Greene,Joost Elffers
The less you reveal, the more people will wonder. The more they wonder, the more they'll respect you. In the game of power, it is crucial to control the flow of information. The less you say, the more mysterious and intriguing you become. People are naturally curious creatures, and when they are left in the dark, their imaginations will run wild. By saying less than necessary, you create an aura of mystique around yourself. People will be drawn to you, eager to uncover the secrets you may be hiding. This sense of intrigue will give you an air of authority and power. In a world where everyone is trying to be heard, the one who speaks sparingly will stand out. When you speak less, you also give yourself the upper hand in any situation. You become the listener, the observer, the one who holds the cards close to their chest. By keeping your words to a minimum, you avoid revealing too much about yourself or your intentions. This allows you to maintain control and manipulate others without them even realizing it. In a world where information is constantly being shared and over-shared, the power of silence cannot be underestimated. By speaking less than necessary, you set yourself apart from the crowd. You become an enigma, a puzzle waiting to be solved. People will hang on your every word, eager for any morsel of information you may choose to share. Remember, it is not what you say that matters, but what you do not say. By controlling your words and revealing only what is necessary, you can command respect and admiration from those around you. So, next time you find yourself in a situation where the urge to speak is strong, take a moment to pause and consider the power of saying less.
