                    With such a flexible approach to your
                    appearances,  you  tend  to  lose  the
                    naivety  that  holds  you  down.  Make
                    your  face  as  malleable  as  an  actor's,
                    work  on  concealing  your  true
                    intensions  and  practice  to  seduce
                    people to lure them into your 'likable'
                    trap.

                    If  deception  is  the  most  potent
                    weapon in your arsenal, then patience
                    is  your  safety  shield.  Patience  will
                    protect  you  from  making  blunders.
                    Great leaders like the French dictator
                    Napoleon  Bonaparte  and  the  former
                    of  the  US  president  Theodore
                    Roosevelt  were  famous  for  their
                    'poker  faces'.  No  matter  how  dire
                    situation would be, they would never
                    lose their cool and await what would
                    be  in  store  for  them  with  patience.
                    Even  when  the  flustered  ministers
                    and  senates  would  approach  they
                    would never disclose who they agree
                    with  and  dismiss  their  subordinates
                    with  simple  words-"Hmm…I  shall
                    see."

                    Power  is  what  brings  desire,  dismay,
                    and despondence to human beings. It
                    is only natural for people to cover up
                    all  their  actions  with  all  kinds  of
                    justifications  refusing  to  believe  they
                    have done anything wrong. A thief is
                    still a thief if he is stealing out of good
                    intentions. Not getting caught is what
                    makes  them  innocent.  That  is  what
                    sets humans apart- the boon to lie and
                    the art to deceive. Kautilya, an Indian
                    philosopher  from  the  third  century
                    once opined-"The arrow shot by  the
                    archer  may  or  may  not  kill  a  single
                    person.
