Rule #2 You have no friends. Have acquaintances you’re friendly with, but are always vague with. Hang out with, but make no real promises with.
I learned years back true friends are rare and you’re lucky if you have at least someone in your mid to late 30’s that would be worth really trusting.
Everyone is out for themselves in life. The only person you can really trust is yourself.
Backyardmech1 I agree with you on this.
Backyardmech1 shame but true... sad to say
My only real friend is in a different country, I visit him once a year, I rarely text him but we're okay with it
"Love your enemies and hate your friends your enemies remain the same your friends always change" 50 cent
Yes but power is just what you think.
50 cent used the book
I'll take you to the candy shop.. 50 cent said that too.
@@thinkblue323rp he also collaborated with the author of 48 laws of power to make the sequel to the book, 50th law of power...
This is deep wisdom and a hard truth. It’s more common to lose friends as you get older if you surpass them either financially or mentally because of the hearts of men succumbing to things like jealousy. I’m not saying it’s no possible to keep a good friend but it’s more likely that if you change and they don’t it’s more likely you’ll drift apart.
Now this is the absolute truth!
This might sound crazy but this video was recommended to me, but the funny thing is I am currently starting a company and my friends wants to hop on board. He claims he is skilled in the fields necessary but as I observe him I have doubts. But this video helped me think clearly about that decision, as I believe hiring him under me could be the business's downfall. Thanks for the great content!!!
King Rob I’m glad this video and law could serve you practically.
Never mix business with friendship. You will lose both. All the best!
@@dancingnachos3634 FACTS👌🏾
King Rob can I get a job
Hope you didn’t hire them and still have a relationship with them.
A similar thing is what Azie did in NYC during the crack era. Once he got a connect that could give him an abundance of coke, he hired all his would be competition. Since his coke source was virtually unlimited, he didnt need the competition and he gave them such a low price they saw no reason not to join. Since they all were making money, he didn't have many enemies. Also, because they depended on his supply for business, warring with him would only hurt them... along with create enemies out of the whole hood, because they relied on Alpo too. It's in the movie Paid in Full.
our friends n enemies are a representation of our psyche and a means to higher self realizations. Know your enemies and your self and you will win all battles ~ Sun Tzu
this is true especially in the work place.
@FlansPlsdontbreakme- You Don't Make friends with Coworkers ,Keep your Life Seperateed from Work
@@bigglefty75 yep
Technology and science is only way out of This.
I learned this the hard way
Your enemies will tell you exactly the things your friends can’t or won’t tell you,
Your enemies have more to get gain than your enemies so use your enemies to do the dirty work and don’t invest too much trust in those in your circle
You are the best ive been lazy to read this an im learning from you i appreciate what youve done
no problem.
follow this advice and you won't be bretrayed.
1) Check One's Motives. Why are they friends with you? How are you treated compared to others?
2) Stop trying to be Popular. Don't just make friends with anyone, Be Selective! Do background checks. I rather have 10 close friends than 100 superficial friends who only want to exploit me.
3) Important!! Judge their Character! Judge them base on how they treat GOOD PEOPLE. In other words, look at their track record towards Good People, even in their past.
4) Ask yourself, would you trust your friend with your kids or money? (I know this one is over the top but this will weed out 90% of the bad apples)
You're not supposed to put your trust in your friends because your friends are the main ones that will stab you in your back.put your trust in God
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
AGREE HASHEM ALMIGHTY GOD SACRED IS THE NAME is the only one you can trust FULLY. We often are harmed even by our own ACTIONS. 🎶❤
Allahu akbar
@M Heisenberg yep
@M Heisenberg Agree. Plus you don't need God or Gods, you can just rely on your self by learning and improving
Thank you brother... this will help me assess the book even better from a different perspective.
I'm very glad to hear that.
Like 'THE PRINCE' by Niccolo Machiavelli. His Treatise on Political Power, ... Ipse Dixit: " A humble work" he called it in his gratitude to the Medici family, that has stirred the world.
This Machiavellian book was cut from the same wood, in that it is true, yet devious.
One of my favorite lines out of the Prince was this one: "Man ought not to think more highly of himself, as man is so enamoured with his own qualities, that he is deceived by them"
I’ve just found this channel and subscribed. It’s amazing.
Thanks you Autumn.
I disagree with your commentary that perhaps one should manipulate his/her friends for their advantage. When you become accustomed to thinking and acting immorally, you set yourself up to be a mark. Nothing is hidden from the unseen. Within those unknown dimensions, actions are recorded and relayed.
+ChiefKeeffiyeh First. Thank you for watching the entire video. A large part of the commentary is me quoting the book so what specific part/timestamp of the video are you referring to that you disagreed with? In the end morals are subjective. But I do not know quite understand your last two sentences.
08:57-09:50…To use friends as scapegoats. That may qualify you to be a "mark" deserving of future retribution. Beyond that, even if one was slick about doing immoral things, for some reason they are never kept hidden. That is because there are unseen dimensions by which info is carried and relayed. This is esoteric information, but i believe to be true by experience and experiment. Think of Karma. Other than that, I've been listening to yr videos. I've read the book and it's good to have it broken down in parts. I appreciate your commentary, but I would dissuade you to use profanity as it may be off-putting to some audiences and may limit your reach. Profanity after all is a sign of hypocrisy. I know that humans are hypocrites, but that shouldn't keep us from striving for flawlessness. Peace and keep up the good work.
+ChiefKeeffiyeh I understand where your coming from now. I agree they are never kept hidden from universal laws and energies. But not everyone believes in these unseen dimensions like you and I do.
On the topic of profanity, I don't see myself stopping to use it but instead using it only when I think it's needed to convey my emotion, as I've been doing. I'm not concerned about those who are offended by profanity. I encourage them to go elsewhere if they are. But I don't agree that it's a sign of hypocrisy (with my own values anyway). Words are merely a collection of sounds that we attribute meaning accordingly too. I can't be responsible for someone taking offence to a specific word or phrase I use when everyone attributes their own meaning to it. That may sound strange it's hard to explain in text but it comes from stoicism philosophy.
no doubt & fair enough…Well yr "choice" selection of words hasn't kept me away…haha XD
ChiefKeeffiyeh Well there you go. I'm glad you've stuck with me. Thank you.
Not trusting friends isn't to hard for anyone who's been betrayed. The using enemies part is what I have a problem with. Maybe I should ask the stick up men around town to house sit while I'm away. ?
Yea i don’t understand this law eithrr
The intro was cold asf
It’s just like hiring a friend they’ll only work half ass because they think you won’t fire them, and if you try to get on their ass for not working they get mad at you.....just like loaning money to friends/family.....never works
This is great Wisdom - Thank you Alexander.
Alex Sandalis great videos keep up the good work best of luck from ireland
Mark Flood thank you Mark
I always look for another ambitious fell that wants to be the man so i can sit back while he battles in the meetings and i just give him a few pointers and draw my pay from “below”. Its nice to have your “boss” eating out of your hand.
You have no friends. Only allies.
I love this book; however, I'm going to have to disagree with law 2. This is my least favorite law. My enemies stayed my enemies even after I made an offer for them or tried to make amends, they ended off ruining my career. I have friends since high school who NEVER stabbed me in the back, have a great bond, and we didn't start off as enemies! (I HAVE GREAT JUDGE OF CHARACTER) I refuse to make enemies for they piss me off. My friends and I don't agree with many many many things, but that's what makes it great. We share views and experience and get along GREAT. If you manipulate your friends for your own advantage, you will be a bad mark and will live a lonely life. I had people who tried the same approach of law 2 on me and I didn't buy it for I didn't trust them. I felt like they were trying to exploit me so I pulled a law 16 on them. Granted, I made few friends who were enemies but after a few years they ended up hating me again! My point is to choose your friends wisely!!! I believe this law is for those who makes poor choices of friends.

Betrayel has no time. Just havnt happen yet.
You'll learn the hard way
How old are you
You are doing it wrong. This is power. Not managing relationships. Put your enemies beneath you and figure out their desires.
Its does not mean ditch your friends, it means, do not be surprised if they turn against you. You can't control your friends... but you can control your enemies.
Hey, thank you very much for this awesome series of videos, would it be fine to just see the videos? I mean have you covered every point? Or I should also buy the book for reference? . Thank You again for spending so much time to create such good audio-video book.
Hey Nishit, I think the videos are definitely a good start. (Check out Illacertus for animated ones as well for more). I have not covered every point. There are so many amazing stories and examples that I haven't talked about simply for succinctness. Also Robert is an incredible writer who has a great method of delivering information and telling stories. In short, buy the book and compare it along side the videos. I would do that. (Link in the description if you want it)
+Alex Sandalis Yeah, I'll think about what I'm going to do, also thanks again :)
I'm loving and learning a lot from these vids.Thanks. If I would've paid more attention to, and applied, such things much earlier in life, my life would be much better than it currently is, to say the least. So far however, and especially concerning this vid, I'm feeling that most of the examples and interpretations given illustrating these rules, are extreme ones. Nothing in existence is purely fixed, constant and absolute, apart from the existence of existence itself (and even then are we really sure about that either?) What I mean is, if one was to follow all of these rules in absolute totality, concerning everyone and everything in their lives, they would become something akin to a sociopath, at best. I don't say this to question the validity and usefulness of these rules/tools, far from it, I just believe they, like everything in life, apply to their correct context, time and place.
I AM that I AM .
You didn't think you would really beat me did you?
Awakening New Humans beat you in what? Why do yall hate me so much?
Everytime I speak in booth yall know what im bringing to you.)*!
knowledge isn’t for everyone
To sum shit it. Keep your friends at a distance with friend activities. Make enemies known but respected.
The most important law i think
Conceal your intentions always say less then necessary
Friend TODAY .... ENEMY tomorrow.
Where did you get the background from? Would love to save it
horrible truth
Nice way to put it
Man I have always said this.
What is this music called, it would go super well for music background while reading the laws
I trust I agree I believe and I receive I decree and I declare by fire and by force in the mighty name of Jesus thank u and amen
I love my enemies, they give me my greatest blessings and lessons. Fuck friendship. Enemies are where it is at.
No one is your friend ,no one is your enemy just everyone is your teacher
disagree with this, no matter how hot you heat water, its always able to put out a flame. you can not rely on enemy. the only benefit of having an enemy is knowing that they exist and not trusting them.
Thanks for the vid
Truthfully i can use maybe ten laws the rest are for sellouts and cowards but Truthfully the laws contradict each other
Can you please elaborate which laws contradict each other?
🔥gotta stay focused
If your friends do stuff like that then their not your friend
You have never tasted power there for this will make you uncomfortable
@@YoungDen True. I only control a small group of people for self interest and that was already enough to turn some friends and allies of mine into my enemies. People's envy and jealousy are greater than most people think. Of course, now they are my enemy, I learn how to use them but this game of power can be both addictive and sabotaging to relationships at the same time. If you want to play the good guy all the time, this rule can be difficult to follow.
dude, this all good, rly! but you gotta remove the annoying background music.

Thank you, Brother for Sharing all These Great data on Knowledge, My Older Brother Share this Book 48 Laws of Power, By Robert Green, 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💎⭐️🌟👍👑
Experienced this law as a Black Man, over and over again. .
Interesting law!🙌🔥💯
from what i am gathering the idea of friendship real genuine friendship doesnt exist and being trustworthy having integrity just doesnt really exist all of this takes energy time and calculation to avoid hurt n pain from people to me you must always have ur guard up to some extent i just rather not have any friends or just wont call people friends because the energy it takes to do all these calculations with people seems like a lot
This is not the Bible, this is a ancient study that has been past down to present times. It's a rule of thumb for the people, who lack COMMON SENSE.
Trust in God not your friends
True thank you
Thank you for the good job & benefiting us.
Love the music
100% real -
SEE WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MINDSET THAT WOMEN ARE PART OF A MANS REWARD...THIS GOES FOR BOTH SIDES OF THE FENCE...THIS INCLUDES GOTTA WORK BRO MENTALITY...THEN YOU ARE FEEDING INTO THE CONCEPT THAT WOMEN ARE PROPERTY IF YOU WANNA BANG HOS BRING MONEY TOO THE PARTY IF YOU WANT TOO ENTER INTO A MUTUAL BOND OR MUTUAL CONSENTING RELATIONSHIP THEN YOU START AT A LEVEL AND BUILD TOGETHER.
This does not count when you are in the present of an empath a person who know how you think.

I hate that you put the music in the background it’s annoying
❤️🖤❤️🖤
🤦🏻♀️
I want to watch your videos but cant get past the annoying background music
Every law is transcribed here to read if you prefer instead: alexanderemmanual.medium.com/
what to do if a friend becomes an enemy?
Learn from it. Use it to your advantage.
+Alex Sandalis I've learned to not trust him anymore. But I want revenge. So ur telling me partner up with his other enemies to get rid of him?
+ilikejdmcars It's hard to say with fully understanding of your situation. But remember the story of when Ch'ien Shu (a traitor) visited emperor Sung. Sung didn't lock him up. Instead he honored him. He gave him a gift that contained all his murderous conspiracies. Shu realised that Sung knew of his plans yet had spared him nonetheless. This generosity won him over and he become one of Sung's most loyal vassals. You say you want revenge. Im sure a part of Shu did as well. But instead he transformed one of his enemies into a valuable asset. Maybe you can do the same.
"You destroy an enemy when you make a friend of him" - Lincoln
Or maybe making him a friend is unwise. Maybe you need to destroy him and his reputation. Or maybe ignoring his existence and cutting him out is wiser. Watch the video again and research the law further if your still unsure and need more clarity.
I got into a scuffle with him 2 years ago so I cut him off. We made peace. But now I regret it as he has crossed me again. It's at the point where I am trying to decide should I destroy him completely or just allow him to exist again? Did I mention I have established more powerful connections than he has? Like well I can't really say, but they are armed fellows
+ilikejdmcars If there is strong indicators he may disrespect/cross you again than it may be worth it to send him a message if it doesn't put you in a adverse position. But if you think your conflict with him is over, than save your time, energy, emotion and avoid the repercussions that will occur. Follow up with me once in some once it's settled I'd like to hear what happened.
The volume level is horrible!
+thomasj sorry...I hope the later videos are better for you. I wasn't very good at making videos back then.
I like the content it was just hard to understand!
Alex Sandalis had no problems with audio. thanks listen all the time
Dude you need to work on your narration. You come off as insecure of what you are saying.
not many ppl will catch that, insecurity gets recognized by more insecurity. don’t project it’s weak
really dumb. Humanity needs extinction.
john miller Good idea. You first.
Can you speak little clear in next videos, it sounds like a horror and full of suspense story, not a informative one
