the 48 rules of power

I wrote a summary of Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power on my website.  I'll be reading and uploading shorts on this channel.

In this clip, I dive into the first law from Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power: never outshine the master. The idea is simple—make your boss feel good about themselves, let them take the credit, and you’ll see doors of opportunity openning up for you.

Shah's Summary of the 48 Laws of Power

Law 1: Never Outshine the Master - Shah's Summary of the 48 Laws of Power

I wrote a summary of Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power on my website.  I'll be reading and uploading shorts on this channel.

In this clip, I talk about Greene's second law: be careful with your friends and learn to use your enemies.  We often take our friends for granted, especially when we’re in a position of power. Friends can grow resentful, and that bitterness might eventually lead them to try and bring you down. Instead of depending on friends to help you succeed, consider turning to a fallen rival. Give your rivals a chance to rise, and they’ll likely be grateful—and loyal—for the opportunity.

Law 2: Be Careful With Your Friends, Use Your Enemies - Shah's Summary of the 48 Laws of Power

I wrote a summary of Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power on my website.  I'll be reading and uploading shorts on this channel.

In this clip, I look at Greene's third law - the subtle power of keeping your intentions hidden. Think of it like a game of chess - if your opponent can’t predict your next move, they’re left guessing, unsure of how to counter you. By concealing your true motives, you keep others off balance, giving yourself the advantage of surprise. It’s not about being deceitful; it’s about protecting your vision and staying in control. When you act with purpose and keep your cards close to your chest, you take charge of your own destiny, moving on your terms without interference.

Law 3: Hide Your True Motives - Shah's Summary of the 48 Laws of Power

I wrote a summary of Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power on my website.  I'll be reading and uploading shorts on this channel.

In this clip, I talk about the power of saying less. In conversations, the words you choose can shape how others perceive you. While it’s tempting to talk a lot to impress, this can often backfire, revealing too much or exposing weaknesses. Speaking less, on the other hand, exudes confidence and control, making your words carry more weight. Silence, when used wisely, creates mystery and leaves others guessing. The trick is finding the balance—saying just enough to keep people engaged while maintaining control over how you’re perceived. Sometimes, the less you say, the more powerful you become.

Law 4: Say Less Than is Necessary - Shah's Summary of the 48 Laws of Power

I wrote a summary of Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power on my website.  I'll be reading and uploading shorts on this channel.

In this clip, I talk about the power of reputation. A strong reputation shields you from attacks, while a weak one leaves you vulnerable. Control is essential—manage perception and act quickly against threats. Reputation is both your defence and your weapon—protect it and use it wisely.

Law 5: Protect Your Reputation at All Costs - Shah's Summary of the 48 Laws of Power

I wrote a summary of Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power on my website. I'll be reading and uploading shorts on this channel.

This clip, we find that success in life’s relentless competition isn’t achieved alone—it’s about leveraging the talents and efforts of others. Smart individuals delegate tasks, focus on what truly matters, and create the impression of greater capability. By standing on the shoulders of others, you amplify your potential and rise to heights where success becomes inevitable.

Tough Love

This is a song I wrote following a cardiovascular event I had back in 2016. I wrote this as a challenge as part of my stress management course I attended at University Hospital of South Manchester. It was also my first song I sang, so my voice isn't that good. :)

It's a spin-off from 'What do you mean?' by Justin Beiber, I wanted to share my experience when I had the event. Huge thanks go to the folks at UHSM who treated me and got me back into good shape.

I hope you enjoy it. Lyrics below.

How do I feel? Oh-oh.
When my body is running yes,
But my heart says no.
How do I feel? Yeah, yeah!
When the pain appeared again,
I then knew I had to go.
How do I feel?
Oh, how do I feel?
Said I'm running out of time, how do I feel?
Oh, oh, oh, how do I feel?
Better make up my mind.
How do I feel?

I was indecisive of what to do,
I was at the GP, waiting in the queue.
The doctor said to me that I was such fool,
I was rushed to A&E with the ambulance crew!

I had to take my blood tests, tried not to dread.
But the doctor said, 'Sorry, it ain't good news...'.
Tired to take it in, couldn't believe what he said.
I had to make a quick decision, oh...

How do I feel? Oh-no-no.
When my body is running yes,
But my heart says no.
How do I feel? Oh-ho-ho!
When the pain appeared again,
I then knew I had to go.
How do I feel?
Oh, how do I feel?
Said I'm running out of time, how do I feel?
Oh, oh, oh, how do I feel?
Better make up my mind.
How do I feel?

I was oversensitive, sedated,
In God's hands now, surrounded by His angels.
I was later told that, 'it's complicated.’,
No time to waste, let's defeat those imbeciles!

Chippin' away through the clog, I remember that feeling,
Finally came out the room, seeing my loving wife.
It has taken a while, the result looks promising,
It’s time to start poppin' those pills and enjoy my second life.

How Do I Feel
