So don’t help anyone else succeed. Got it.

2. And stick to it.

Thanks and even my father said so.

What's the 2nd one????

you need to follow step one first

I swear some of you people would be motivated by a picture of a rock with success written on it in crayon

beware the advice of successful people, they do not seek company

LMAO if I wasn't so lazy, I'd test your theory. I have no doubt it would prove true.

I know the painting (and hopefully the post) is intended to be funny, and it did make me laugh. However as general advice, I think it's terrible. Unfortunately I have worked with many people that think this is true. I don't believe that the way to succeed is to hold others back. True subject matter experts are not afraid of sharing their knowledge and recognize that teaching others does not diminish their value.

Now for the exceptions. This is a good rule for certain types of work or circumstances. Two that come easily to mind are negotiators and magicians. Keep your secrets close!

How to be the kind of schmuck/scam artist that succeeds in our deranged society. Terrible advice for anyone with a semblance of a conscience though.

Let me test it

.......number two is never talk about Fight Club....

There are two types of people in this world.

1. Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

2. People that can literally fart knowledge from thin air, oh wait that's the first one.

This motivates me how?

Oh my god I can imagine that and what I hate most is that it's 150% plausible to see it with over 150 likes on Facebook. The only thing preventing me from trying that is that I'm sure someone did it before.

Maybe they're anti-social, or they hold back cuz they can't explain and if you explain your process to fellow peers you may hold off because of.. that fraud feeling I can't remember what it's called.

2)underpants

Yes

It motivates you to look out for your own interests above all else. You know, like a healthy society should.

Feels a little like crab-bucket mentality

Imposter syndrome

It boggles my mind how some of these posts on r/GetMotivated or r/LifeProTips get hundreds of upvotes.

Pretty sad that this bloke only knew two things and was only willing to reveal half of it.

There are three kinds of people in this world… people who can count, and people who can’t.

2.??? #3.Profit.

10 types. Those who understand binary and those who don’t.

"2. Pull the ladder up after you climb and before anyone follows"

Probably.

Are you a politician or something?

I'm just a guy who thinks the best of people. I know people can identify sarcasm without a /s tag.

Maybe if you're a capitalist rat who's willing to drown the rest of the world for your own success, then yeah go ahead.

But if you actually care about the human race, maybe try to help the world be a better place? Just a thought

If you don't look out for your own interests you'll have a hard time looking out for anybody else's. Like how you put your own oxygen mask on first before putting one on your kid.

Right, gamer.

2. See 1

No, it is motivational, but I am not telling you why.

The crayon must be photoshopped on.

Just 1. Be born into privilege (wealth and power). Work hard harharharharharrrrr

This seems like a thats the joke kind of thing

But you do, in fact, put one on your kid when you're in a position to do so. And probably even a passed-out stranger next to you. But this advice is like telling you to put on your oxygen mask, then not help anyone else with theirs because they should have to figure it out for themselves.

I didn't say otherwise. I said you had to take care of yourself first

I rarely comment stuff. I extremely dislike this! It is wrong. Help others around you to make society grow. You are a product of your environment, but your environment is therefore also a product of you... Hence your are in the... Fucking environment. If all kept good stuff for themselves, it would be a shot environment . If everyone shared, then all would be awesome and they would teach you stuff as well. Give value always.

Poke your butt and sniff it, it’s a product of the environment

What morons upvote this shit?

You didn't say otherwise. The OP implies it.

Based 2

lol

2. Lie to the peasants

Same, this is just fucking stupid.

Always salt your pasta while boiling it

Rule 2: Never let what you don't know stop you.

You already revealed too much with the first rule

> This is a good rule for certain types of work or circumstances. Two that come easily to mind are negotiators and magicians.

I was about to say this. I'm in finance and sales and half my job is negotiating. If I'm not careful with what information I keep close to my chest I suck at my job ha

The answer is no

Success

Nope, you did not get it. Not revealing everything you know doesn't translate to never helping others.

Just expect them to help you if you need it.

3. Profit

3. Profit

The leading!!!!!

And those who realise it also applies to ternary, and those who realise it applies to quarternary...

I mean it can but not with this setup.

Then please explain what its purpose is.

(I'm no say 1st rule) 2... Post moded Mc in yt.

Not to mention

Perfect answer.

Don't work too hard for the company you work unless you are rewarded equally.
