    Law 37: CREATE COMPELLING SPECTACLES “Striking imagery and grand symbolic gestures create the aura of power—everyone responds to them. Stage the spectacles for those around you, full of arresting visuals and radiant symbols that heighten your presence. Dazzled by appearances, no one will notice what you are really doing.” Identified: How to turn someone else’s tragedy to a show about you Though I was only 4 or 5 at the time I recall attending my grandfather’s funeral on my mom’s side. At this funeral, as they were lowering my grandfather into the ground my grandmother (his wife) ran to the casket and started yelling and whaling. At the time I could not put my finger on it, but it felt “fake” to me. Years later I recalled this memory with my mom who told me that their relationship had been bitter and over for years. Application: Having a little bit of a hard time matching this one up. At work: This one may not so much apply to you as it does to Potential Recruits At home: Weddings The scared grand gesture of love and commitment.

    Law 36: DISTAIN THINGS YOU CANNOT HAVE: IGNORING THEM IS THE BEST REVENGE “By acknowledging a petty problem you give it existence and credibility. The more attention you pay an enemy, the stronger you make him; and a small mistake is often made worse and more visible when you try to fix it. It is sometimes best to leave things alone. If there is something you want but cannot have, show contempt for it. The less interest you reveal, the more superior you seem.” Identified: How my family felt about the rich Many in my family growing up said that rich people only got rich by stealing and lying. Because they refused to steal and lie, they were not rich, but they were better people. Application: I am not a fan of the first part of this law “disdain things you cannot have” At work: You are under constant evaluation by those who want to promote you and those who want to demote you. When things go wrong Keep the needle at zero When things go right Move the needle to five While you cannot truly “ignore” when things go wrong, you can and must protect yourself from displaying the emotions that have welled up outwardly. At home: My son’s difficult stretch Ignore the petty (mumbling, and grumbling) Respond like you never even heard it Teach them how to act One day your children will reflect on how you reacted to them in these times, either because they reflect or because they have children of their own. General Dad stuff You are viewed as the model of stability of your home. If you are afraid, unsure, hesitant … that feeling will ripple through your household.
