    It's never too late to live your passion. I'm in my 60s and these are the best years of my life. Sometimes in younger years, you have to do a job in order to pay your bills. But you should never forget what really makes you happy, and keep it alive.

      @cosmicboy7188 that's not always true. Some people don't always think they are great and wonderful and if you do they will see you as a manipulator. What you want to do is discern their opinion of themselves and mirror that. Perhaps in a good light, but a mirror non the less.
      For example. Lots of beautiful women don't actually think extremely highly of themselves, they know they have faults like everyone else.
      If you approach them with unearned adoration, they see you as a manipulator like all the other men. If you approach them with a mirror of their own opinion of themselves, an accurate mirror, they will see it as actual respect, like you actually see them.

    I’ve been watching a lot of RUclips videos on a certain topic, and Robert Greene is by far (in my humble opinion) the best educator. I literally bought his book The 48 Laws of Power this morning. In this video, Robert mentions having naïveté, in terms of how people utilize and manipulate their power. I can relate. I finally figured out about manipulation when I was 33 years old, due to being brainwashed/controlled by a man whom I regard as narcissistic. Now I’m 39, I’ve been researching SOOO much (I’m currently being manipulated by somebody - I just can’t get away) so, I’d like to thank you Robert for opening my eyes to the truth and having legitimate information, and the help you are giving to people like me.

So 40 minutes into it, my heart is thumping, my neurons are dancing tango and I feel that all my ideas that I've been mulling over the past weeks will burst out uncontrollably. My eyes are wide open, my mind is a sponge and I'm ready to do anything but sleep. This is some truly inspiring shit. Tomorrow is my last day of work and then holidays are coming. Suddenly I know what I'm going to be doing. Watch these guys over and over, order Green's books and take that godnamn inspiration for a spin! Honestly, the best stuff I've seen in ages.

      You’re not damaged or slowed down in any way except that you allow. Where you are is your starting point. We all have one. What happened in the past has NO bearing on your tomorrow, except what you allow. It’s too easy to blame the past stuff (no matter how true). No one ever got ahead in anything, ever, using blame as a tool. Your tool kit includes things you’ve learned FROM the past stuff. If you’ve learned nothing then you’re going to see it come up again and again, until you do. I have learned all this the hard way. I share this with you so you don’t have to.

      Here's a tip: people will not ask your age, but they will use your graduation date as a proxy. Graduating later can make you look younger.
      The most important thing is to graduate into a good economy for your sector. Think about whether to have a "Plan B" or to go for broke in a field where you love the work and excel naturally.
      People who advise you to forget your true passion and be "practical" may be doing you a grave disservice, because if you end up having to compete with people who LOVE love what they do, you probably can't. They may be able to work 50 and 60 hour weeks, no problem. That is always a drag -- and not practical, either.

      I was abused by narcissist too. I turned my life around by detaching from them and for some, complete cut off. After that, the most important thing I did was to begin looking at the sides of me that are like them or are inviting them unconsciously into my life. I dug super deep to really look at my issues. This is a lifelong process of always looking to myself as to how am I like them or allowing their behavior bc of weakness? And I then work to rid myself of these instead of blaming others. I now say “bless them and change me”. This has changed my life and I’m a better person for it

    I have infinite respect for Robert Greene he is great author who writes to really and honestly help people without BS
    And he personally helped me with his "33 Strategies Of War" which was like a punch to the gut and a harsh reality check which I needed, specifically keeping the presence of mind chapter
    Which I read while being in the dark place from which I could not see the exit but after reading that chapter and learning historical examples I understood the need to take control of my mind because just panicking and feeling hopeless won't fix anything. I need to calm down and analyze situation to find solution and become the arm for people to depend on. (Of course I did not immediately shut off emotions rather just received a direction to become more resilient)
    That chapter literally changed my life for the better things I dreaded became mundane.

    I can relate to his process. I wrote my first book when I was seven. Later in life, I ended up helping old people in care homes to write their life stories and publish them on Amazon for their friends and family around the world to read. I also turned the poems I wrote for them about their lives into animations that I put up on RUclips. What I earned doing this helped me pay off my mortgage and invest in the stock market so I could buy a second property and rent out the apartment that I own mortgage-free. I also managed to write over 100 books including two novels and several poetry books by following that voice that just said to me that I had to write.

Robert Green gives so much clarity about managing my personal power to be more subtle. I am so grateful that Robert Green has written a book about dynamics that most people wont talk about!

    I know someone who didn’t become wildly successful until his 70’s. Toiled all his life, doing the same thing, in the same industry, he made some changes and took a risk, sold his company for $780 million 6 years ago , he toiled there for 50 years. At points the company had negative worth. He decided to get better people by paying more then competition , significantly more , and selling more expensive and luxurious product, after a year or so the avalanche of money his company started to make, allowed him to advertise and grow like crazy. He got a private Jet and a box at Jets stadium , he is a lifelong Jets fan, that’s not a very successful team. But he stuck with them. He made his sons and close associates millionaires . I worked for him for 20 years. He was a great boss.

    I was in lockup/ detention center at 26yrs old in Michigan, just outside Detroit.
    Very tumultuous time, a brotha I ran into named Jimmy was very smart and calculated. He was quiet when he first got there and by the end of our stay he was clearly the leader of the whole cabin.
    He was charismatic, he once lent me the book 48 Laws of Power and warned me, "Sage there's lots of good stuff in here that will change your life but be careful, it'll make you think different"
    He would t elaborate, I read it and understood what he was hunting, that it gave you the ability to play the game yes but also gave you an elevated Machiavellian outlook on every interaction, garnered your criminal mind.

    About 53 minutes in they expound on the important art to separating this isn't good vs I'm not good. Knowing that your work can use improvement shows that you know what is good; accept that there is a good enough level, that is indicative of your current skillset. Do things as well as you can at the moment, don't slack off and don't compare to your future abilities. They explain this well.
