The average man is too honest in places where he should be strategic, and too dishonest in places where he should be accountable. He reveals his plans to strangers, but lies to himself about his habits. Power begins when you reverse this. Be private with the world. Be mercilessly honest with yourself.
If you’re blindly loyal in business and life,
there will come a time when a wedge will find itself between you and the person you’re blindly loyal to.
And when push comes to shove,
you will not be rewarded for loyalty.
But you will be punished for being blind.
