The people around you are generally mysterious. You are never quite sure about their intentions. They present an appearance that is often deceptive — their manipulative actions don’t match their lofty words or promises. All of this can prove confusing. Seeing people as they are, instead of what you think they should be, would mean having a greater sense of their motives.
Robert Greene (born May 14, 1959, in Los Angeles) is an American author specializing in books about strategy, power and seduction. His first book was The 48 Laws of Power (1998), which became a best-seller with more than 1 million copies sold in the US.

The feeling that we have endless time to complete our work has an insidious and debilitating effect on our minds.
Our attention and thoughts become diffused.
Our lack of intensity makes it hard for the brain to jolt into a higher gear.
The connections do not occur.
For this purpose you must always try to work with deadlines, whether real or manufactured.
Faced with the slenderest amount of time to reach the end, the mind rises to the level you require.
Ideas crowd upon one another.
Everything is judged by its appearance; what is unseen counts for nothing. Never let yourself get lost in the crowd, then, or buried in oblivion. Stand out. Be conspicuous, at all cost. Make yourself a magnet of attention by appearing larger, more colorful, more mysterious than the bland and timid masses.
