This is Robert Greene.
In 1998, he wrote The 48 Laws of Power, a book so manipulative, it’s banned in prisons.
But it’s studied by CEOs, cult leaders, and world-class operators.
Here are the 10 most powerful laws out of the 48 that they hope you never figure out: 🧵
Let’s celebrate the small victories, every step forward is progress. Regardless of many times you took a step back, the important thing is to keep moving forward.

[🔔Long Tweet] Oda's message about Akira Toriyama paassing away. Oda: It is too early.
The hole is too big. Sadness washes over me when I think that I will never see him again.
I have admired him so much since I was a child, so I remember the day he called me by name for the first time. On the way home from the day you used the word "friend" for me and Kishimoto, I remember being overjoyed with Kishimoto. I also remember the last conversation we had.
I was one of those who took the baton from the days when reading manga made you a fool, and he also created an era when both adults and children could enjoy reading manga. He showed us the dream that manga can go worldwide. It was like watching a hero going forward.
For not only mangakas but also creators in various industries, the excitement and emotion of the time of Dragon Ball serialization must have taken root in their childhood.
His existence is like a big tree.
For the manga artists of our generation who stood on the same stage, Toriyama's works became more and more important to me as I got closer to the same stage. I even felt being scary. But I am just happy to see the aloof man himself again. Because we love him on a blood level.
With respect and gratitude for the creative world he has left behind. I pray for his soulful rest in peace.
May heaven be the joyous world he envisioned.
“As the sun ascends, so does my resolve, my will to thrive,
In this life, I've been given, in this moment, I'm alive.
With gratitude, I embrace the chance to just be,
In the mirror of the morning, I finally see me.” — Gatz
“Even slow progress is PROGRESS!! Baby steps count, doesn’t matter if you take 100 steps backwards as long as you take that extra step forward.” — Gatz
Here’s hoping 🤞🏻. You’ll never know unless you try and well I’m shooting my shot here, if we’re blessed and lucky enough it’ll be a damn blessing indeed. Good everyone and may you be chooses (alongside myself)
“This path ain't paved with glitter, nor shimmering gold,
It's lined with lessons and stories yet to be told.
In the tapestry of existence, my colors, bright and bold,
A fool maybe, but in my tale, every chapter's gold.” — Gatz
“So, chin up, take a deep breath, and remember, even if you end up going around the crossroad a few times, you'll eventually find your way out. Just keep moving forward, keep learning, and keep trusting yourself.” — Gatz
“Consistency and discipline can be brutal sometimes. They're like the gym for the soul – you know it's good for you, but dragging yourself there is a whole different story.” — Gatz
"Society's clock may tick to a different rhythm, but my inspiration follows the moon's own lunar beat. When the world sleeps, my heart thunders with the wild music of creation." — Gatz
“Stumbles are whispers, defeats mere detours, my spirit a compass, forever pointing north. Always, always, the needle spins true, a relentless march with the dawn as my view.” — Gatz
“Duty wears a heavy crown, its jewels forged from responsibility, sacrifice, and the need to be the rock, the lighthouse, the one who never crumbles." — Gatz
