This is the first law from the book “48 laws of power” by Robert Greene. Why did this one occupy the first place among the other 47 laws? Everyone will have this question in mind and I had the same question in my mind too. But on a deep analysis this law seems to be the most important in a person’s life. A general thought – Acting smart and intelligent than the master can yield higher levels. Things are the other way around instead! It will create hatred in your master towards you and a possibility to search another person in substitute for you (who is not much wiser than your master).

                        The reason is simple. Will you like a person who is wiser than you to work for you. You will obviously get a second thought that he can easily take your place. When most of the husbands don’t like to have a wiser wife, how can a master have a wiser servant or a worker? But for this reason it is foolish to act foolish which again can create a thought that you are unfit for the job. Justify your work, do the thing which is only needed, praise your master at times – only these qualities can yield you the next level in your job or so.

                         Master your skills to become a master but don’t execute them when you are working under another master!!

    Mario Puzo’s “The Godfather” movie drags all other gangster and mafia movies aside and remains close to our hearts.  This movie gives an illusion of reading a novel when watching on screen (in fact the movie is based on the novel “The Godfather”). Subtle emotions, powerful dialogues, and vibrant music make Godfather a real man!

Some dialogues from this movie delivered by the Godfather:

• Only don’t tell me you are innocent because it insults my intelligence. Makes me very angry (This is the dialogue spoken by the Godfather when he knows that his brother in law betrayed but still acts to be innocent).
• Keep your friends close but enemies closer.
• Try to think as people around you think!
• The soldiers are paid to fight but the rebels aren’t.
• Never let anyone know what you are thinking.

What do you now think of this Godfather???

    City bus, a place where one can witness many scenes not capsuled in cinemas. That too crowded bus adds to the flavor. This is one such scene visualized by me in such a crowded city bus. The crowd made me restless and the travel was too long. I was grumping for boarding that bus until she looked at me. It was the moment that re-energized and poised me.

     She was very pretty and looked like an angel. A mole on her cheek is the aspect that attracted me a lot. I smiled, she sighed. I was staring at her for a long time when I noticed her feeling uneasy. Yes, she was afraid of her mother. So I started looking her at irregular intervals. Our eyes met four times and we had a great time. I had a meaningful travel! I tried to approach her many times but in vain. Alas! I had to leave the bus and her too. She was staying in my eyes the whole day even after the journey.

     But one thing, she is the most wonderful 2-year old baby I have ever met!!
