The Path to Social Intelligence I Robert Greene

if you're angry about something you

don't act on your anger you wait 24

hours 48 hours before sending that email

before yelling at someone if you're

highly ambitious and you show too much

of it sometimes it's good to show

ambition but you need to show a certain

amount not too much to frighten people

well that's what these books are about

they're being self-aware that in a

certain situation you enter an office 30

people and you suddenly show that you

want to be like the number one person

you're going to find your path really

difficult in life but if you show that

you don't have any ambition no one will

respect you so you have to hit that

proper medium and you learn how to do

that you learn by your mistakes you

learn by the people you've pissed off

that you've alienated and you learn

self-control
