How do you develop authority to deal with people?

[BizyDad]

I think the mistake you’re making is thinking the basis for authority is in personality or looks. It’s not.

The appearance of power can work.

Wear a suit everywhere and tell me people don't treat you differently.

3. Johnny boy built himself quite the legend with this gf move didn't he? You see someone who is a threat, but when I read that post, I read about someone who actually admitted she made him weak. Instead of getting stronger, he removed the source of weakness.

That's the standard for "Don't mess with this guy?" Come on fellas.

No, I don’t see someone who is a threat, just someone who has no qualms being ruthless when needed.

I consider myself the equal of Elon Musk. So that should tell you something.

I see no “demigods” — they’re all men, with all the weaknesses and bravado that men have. The legend is always greater than the man, and that’s perhaps the main tool for influence.

Don't sweat the small stuff, because it's all small stuff.

The words "pancreatic cancer" always snaps me back into gratitude and perspective whenever I get off kilter about something stupid and irrelevant.

Yeah, like you said before that's practically a death sentence. It's what got my dad, RIP.

The scariest disease imo, is rabies. Once symptoms hit, there is no cure, and death is virtually guaranteed. Nasty way to die, you can’t drink water anymore, you feel very angry, you experience convulsions, you can’t even swallow your own saliva etc. I’ve always had a big phobia of street dogs for this reason, and always run away from them.
