Law 1: Never Outshine the Master

This law changed my life.

I struggled in my high-tech career back when I was a computer engineer.

What Is Covered

I was not getting promoted even after working hard in the company. I was getting mad and frustrated until I came across this book.

The first law blew my mind. I realised I was blatantly going against it all the time:

I was constantly trying to outshine my boss.
I would tell him when he was wrong.
I would show him and my VP why my ideas were amazing.
I was constantly trying to prove how amazing and how smart I was.

But as soon as I read Law 1, I started changing my ways:

I decided never to try to prove how smart and talented I was.
I stopped trying to prove why I was right and they were wrong, even if that was the case.
I stopped trying to impress my boss or my VP.

Within 3 months, I got promoted. It was shocking.

Here’s why this law works:

The people above you want to appear smarter and more talented than you.
When you show off how good you are, others tend to feel insecure. They start to resent and envy you.
These people don’t want you to grow and threaten them.
